Counselling and Psychotherapy after Domestic Violence

This is a refreshing and thought provoking book, presenting the views of female and male counselling clients about their experience of therapy after domestic violence. It brings together the existing literature and client views to present a new perspective on how to approach counselling with individuals who have experienced domestic violence.

It is packed full of research statistics and guidance for best practice, presenting the client view of therapy and the differences experienced by men and women. This book is a comprehensive resource for those working with the impact of domestic violence. (Judy Stafford, Therapy Today, Vol. 27 (10), February, 2016)
