      abstract = {This book examines international perspectives on intimate  partner violence (IPV). It highlights the current state of  IPV prevention and intervention efforts across countries,  including Colombia, Iran, Russia, China, India, Turkey,  Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Finland, and the United  States. The book examines the countries of origin in  context (e.g., population, area, religion, ethnic  diversity) and includes current rates of IPV in each  country. In addition, it addresses growth areas and  challenges regarding IPV prevention and intervention,  including legal issues as well as cultural and social  contexts and their relation to IPV--and the clinical  interventions used--within each country. The book discusses  challenges and opportunities for growth and seeks to gain a  more robust and systemic perspective on the global  phenomenon of IPV. It examines how larger social, cultural,  and global factors affect the lives of the individuals whom  family therapists serve and advocate for as well as provide  guidance for culturally appropriate clinical and prevention  practices. Key areas of coverage include: International  perspectives on intimate partner violence. Intervention and  resources available for victims of intimate partner  violence. Policies and laws relating to intimate partner  violence. International Perspectives on Intimate Partner  Violence is an essential resource for clinicians,  therapists, and practitioners as well as researchers,  professors, and graduate students in family studies,  clinical psychology, and public health, as well as all  interrelated disciplines.},
