For researchers, practitioners, and graduate students, Graham-Bermann (psychology and psychiatry, U. of Michigan, Ann Arbor) and Levendosky (psychology, Michigan State U., East Lansing) use a
developmental perspective to address the effects of intimate partner violence on children and interventions to help them deal with attachment, behavior, cognitive, aggression, substance abuse,
and other problems. The 13 chapters are divided by age: from prenatal to infancy, toddler to early childhood, school-age children, and adolescents. For each group, psychologists from the US and
Canada detail research studies on effects, clinical and evidence-based practice interventions, and a clinical case that illustrates age-specific issues. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc.,
