"A wonderfully practical resource for professionals, parents and carers alike who are supporting children and young people with histories of child to parent violence. For too long families and carers have suffered in silence, often too ashamed or frightened to disclose acts of child to parent violence. This book not only outlines the theory that underpins such behaviour but introduces useful intervention strategies to explore with children and young people, it is a must read for those working in this field." —Michael A. Taylor, NHS Yorkshire and Humber Forensic CAMHS, UK
