When 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men in the United States will experience domestic violence, odds are several of your clients will be affected. Unfortunately mental health professionals do not receive the education needed to work with this population and the trauma treatments we are trained in can cause harm if modifications are not made. This book provides information on the modifications needed while working with victims and survivors of domestic violence, as well as basic education that all mental health professionals need to work with this population.
