In Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence: A Holistic Perspective, Delia Marie Franklin, RN provides readers with a comprehensive viewpoint on domestic violence that examines abuse through the lens of a multifaceted strategy. The book provides an in-depth understanding of intrafamilial abuse, elaborating on the development of the abusive mindset through observation, practice, and reinforcement. It explains the abusive tactics utilized in unhealthy relationships and how these tactics allow perpetrators of intimate partner violence to establish a status of control and hierarchy over their victim. Readers learn about the interplay of neuroscience and violence; the nuanced and complex process of realization, escape, and post-separation life by victims; the concept of re-victimization; and the adverse effects of intrafamilial abuse on victims and children. The material addresses the influence of cultural beliefs and gender disparity on domestic and intimate partner violence; societal impediments and blind spots that can lead to the inability to recognize abuse or intervene successfully; and the roles of medical, legal, and law enforcement professionals in understanding and responding to abuse. Readers are presented with solutions for decreasing intimate partner violence, including cultural change, batterer intervention programs, social reform through education, and coercive control penalties. Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence is ideal for programs in medicine, healthcare administration, nursing, criminal justice, education, and political science, as well as any course that examines intimate partner violence.
