Description
A Neuroscientific Approach to Family Violence helps readers understand the contributions of genetics to the behaviors of maltreated and maltreating persons. The book highlights new research findings about family violence across the lifespan accompanied by simplified information about their genetic foundations. A fresh, unobtrusive method of referencing the new research enhances the accessibility of the content while maintaining customary attributions. Additionally, a glossary of neuroscientific terminology allows readers to confirm their comprehension of the newer lexicon. The book features 12 scholarly yet concise chapters, no more than 10 pages of text each, rendering the content highly accessible and easy to understand. Readers learn startling facts, such as the ability of tests of boys aged two to five to predict with 80% accuracy whether the boy will be convicted of a crime by age eighteen. They discover how trauma experiences from assaults and maltreatment can change the structure and functioning of the brain, and how someday, genetic stem cell replacement therapy may be able to help counteract these negative effects. Dedicated chapters reveal that certain trauma-focused treatments are measurable within the brain. Readers learn that maltreatment of children is the greatest preventable factor for adult mental illness, and dating violence, bullying, sexual assault, and adult intimate partner violence all have genetic bases. Throughout the book, prevention and treatment strategies are provided that correspond with different stages of the lifespan. Illuminating case histories stimulate critical thinking and connect research and theory with real-life examples. A Neuroscientific Approach to Family Violence provides readers with a wealth of information about the relationship between family violence and neurobiology. The content prepares students for effective practice and also provides experts in the field with fresh research in the discipline. empirically-based approaches, it is ideal for graduate-level courses in counseling, psychology, marriage and family, or social work, as well as for practitioners working with young clients.
