Biography

Kathleen Malley-Morrison

"Each chapter contains qualitative data with "voices" - personal definitions and examples of family violence and abuse."
—Adolescence

"Malley-Morrison has edited one of the most comprehensive international writings on this subject that this reviewer has ever read....This book is a 'must read' for any professional seeking to understand current family violence issues from an international perspective. Essential."
—CHOICE

"Each chapter contains qualitative data with 'voices' - personal definitions and examples of family violence and abuse."

—Family Therapy

"...this book masterfully recentralizes the role of culture in understanding, treating, and preventing family violence....The result of an ambitious project, the book highlights constructions of  family violence in 24 countries, spanning seven regions of the world. This text offers the first comprehensive international overview of family violence and it serves as an important tool for developing interventions and research efforts."
—Psychology of Women Quarterly

"This book is an excellent desk reference for those who do research and want more information about the macro- or microsystems in various countries. It is invaluable for those who design interventions to prevent and protect abuse victims. It is an important source of information for practitioners treating women and children who have emigrated from these countries to the United States and Western Europe. Most of all, it gives us hope that perhaps in the next generations, we really will be able to live as a global and nonviolent family."
