Description
Domestic Violence: Intersectionality and Culturally Competent Practice provides a comprehensive overview of intersectionality, culturally competent practice, and domestic violence. Edited by Lettie L. Lockhart and Fran S. Danis, this book brings together research and case studies on twelve unique groups of domestic abuse survivors, including African Americans, Native Americans, Latinas, Asian and Pacific Island communities, persons with disabilities, immigrants and refugees, women in later life, LGBT survivors, and military families. The authors explore the role of intersectionality in understanding domestic violence, and discuss culturally sensitive intervention strategies for each population. The book also addresses basic practice strategies such as universal screening, risk assessment, and safety planning, as well as community-level strategies for advocacy and policy change. With resources applicable to both practitioners and clients, this book is a valuable tool for analysis and action. Featuring expert contributions from twelve unique groups of domestic abuse survivors, Domestic Violence: Intersectionality and Culturally Competent Practice offers a nuanced understanding of the complexities of domestic violence and the importance of culturally competent practice in addressing it.
