<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A comprehensive picture of the scope of violence in all types of Canadian families and intimate relationships. Inclusive focus and multi-faceted examination and integration of research, policies and practice addressing the roots, laws, theory, incidence, dynamics, intervention in and prevention of, violence in Canadian families.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> Violence in families and intimate relationships affects a significant proportion of the population--from very young children to the elderly--with far-reaching and often devastating consequences. <i>Cruel but Not Unusual</i> draws on the expertise of scholars and practitioners to present readers with the latest research and thinking about the history, conditions, and impact of violence in these contexts. For this new edition, chapters have been updated to reflect changes in data and legislation. New chapters include an examination of trauma from a neurobiological perspective; a critical analysis of the "gender symmetry debate," a debate that questions the gendered nature of intimate violence; and an essay on the history and evolution of the women's movement dedicated to addressing violence against women, which advances theoretical developments that remind readers of the breadth of inclusivity that should be at the heart of working in this field. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>``<i>Cruel but Not Unusual</i> explores the dynamics and scope of violence in families and its long-term impact on women and children who experience it, as well as our societal response to it. Written for students, academics, and professionals in the field, the book offers new insights, critiques, and ideas to inspire and enhance our understanding and practice.... A valuable resource for moving us forward. ''--Lisa Tremblay "Herizons, Fall 2013"<br>
