<br/><br/> "The book addresses both the increasing clinical and social awareness of this salient issue and the need for practical interventions by professionals who work with pregnant women. Combining a review of the literature with the latest data from the Stalking and Violence Project, and making generous use of clinical examples, the author gives readers a critical understanding of intimate abuse in the intricate context of pregnancy and the postpartum period." "Domestic Violence and Maternal and Child Health is for public health professionals, health care providers, social workers, counselors, criminal justice professionals, and anyone else concerned with preventing the cycle of domestic violence from affecting future generations."--BOOK JACKET.
