Working with Adolescent Violence and Abuse Towards Parents

Approaches and Contexts for Intervention

Herausgeber: Holt, Amanda

Beschreibung

'Adolescent-to-parent abuse' is increasingly prevalent globally. Inverting how we normally understand power to operate in abusive relationships, it involves actors who cannot easily be categorised as victims or perpetrators, and often impacts families who are experiencing multiple stressors. This international book identifies and explores interventions for supporting these families.
