This review of research on the impact of domestic violence on children is written by Catherine Humphreys and Audrey Mullender, Senior Lecturer and Professor of Social Work, respectively, at the University of Warwick. It reviews the research on impact, interventions and outcomes. A central concern in this review is to promote a holistic approach, whereby the links between different forms of abuse are made. In particular, the unhelpful divide between violence and abuse towards women is not separated from children's experiences of this abuse and other forms of child abuse. Practice experience in Canada has also shown that a holistic approach - involving parents, local media, community arts groups, school governors, and so on in a range of events, and developing relevant teaching materials right across the curriculum can be enjoyable as well as fruitful.--BASED ON PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION.
