This text is designed to provide a basic overview of the subject of family violence. Gelles and Cornell stress the need for an understanding of the operation and function of the entire family system before effective counselling and treatment can be applied. This volume examines all aspects of family violence including child and spouse abuse, sibling violence, adolescent maltreatment, parent abuse.

The authors feel that physical violence must be treated separately from other acts such as verbal abuse or neglect, in order to determine both the causes of and the solutions to family violence.
