-Daniel Sonkin, PhD, Marriage, Family and Child Counselor
Family violence is an international epidemic that knows no cultural boundaries, but for years research has overlooked the historical, political and cultural factors that often lead men toward violent behavior. The first edition of Family Violence and Men of Color broke new ground by closely examining the relationship between race and family violence.
This revised edition offers an even broader, cross-cultural analysis of male violence and more specialized treatment methods and approaches.
Key Features:
Chapters analyzing violent behavioral patterns in each major community of colorThree new chapters on the African-American and Maori ommunities, in addition to the Latino, Native American, Asian, and South American communitiesCulturally-based strategies and models that enhance the efficacy of existing intervention programs for men who batterIntegrates clinical, experiential, and narrative approaches to family violence
This text calls for a critical evaluation and transformation of cultural practices that promote violence against women, and will be pivotal in the development of more effective prevention and intervention programs in the years to come.
