Many of the chapters in this book address issues relating to family violence. In chapter 2, "Family Mediation of Custody and Access Disputes", Fred Seymour and Jan Pryor explore custody and access issues, and discuss how domestic violence affects mediation due to unequal power relations. Neville Robertson and Ruth Busch analyse domestic violence from a feminist perspective and various other issues in the chapter entitled "The Dynamics of Spousal Violence: Paradigms and Priorities". In chapter 4 "Children: Hidden Victims of Violence Against Women", Tania Pocock and Fiona Cram investigate the vulnerability and effects of battered women on children. In Heather McDowell's chapter, "Emotional Child Maltreatment: Impact and Intervention", definitions of emotional child maltreatment are explored, and the author utilises a New Zealand study to discover the indicators, characteristics, effects and adult outcomes of childhood emotional abuse. In chapter 6, "Child Sexual Abuse: A New Zealand Community Study", Eleanor Morris, Judy Martin and Sarah Romans employ a research study to discover the impact of childhood sexual abuse on various outcomes in adulthood. In the chapter entitled "Listening to Children", M-E Pipe, K Salmon and G Priestley investigate the reliability and admissibility of children's testimonies, especially in cases of physical or sexual abuse. In the final chapter, "Children's Rights: How Well Are They Protected by Legislation?", Gabrielle Maxwell examines the principles of the "United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child" (1989) and its influence on New Zealand's justice system.
