Future Interventions a must-have for interventionists

Future Interventions is a thoughtful collection of essays that address theory and practice with both victims and perpetrators of domestic violence, including children as victims by virtue of exposure. The book attempts to take a global perspective less successfully, since space constrains the extent to which the contributors can explain policy considerations, community context, and individual and couple behavior within one culture, let alone several. But the overall contribution is both a good overview of domestic violence issues and a comprehensive and directly applicable description of theory that encompasses intrapersonal, interpersonal, and social structural processes. I find that I refer back to Future Interventions time and time again in my work with community agencies and the structure of the Domestic Violence Response system in my community, and I highly recommend it.
