LGBTQ+ Intimate Partner Violence: A Guide for Mental Health Practitioners
This book explores the unique issues involved in assessing, diagnosing, intervening, and treating intimate partner violence (IPV) in the LGBTQ+ population.
Currently, there is little to no instruction regarding this topic in training programs, and this volume is the culmination of an effort to remedy this deficit. The authors draw upon clinical examples and research from the IPV programs in their own organization as well as external research to provide a comprehensive overview. Chapters span topics that include definitions of IPV, its history, relevant issues within the LGBTQ+ community, the unique facets of LGBTQ+ IPV and its assessment and diagnosis. Case examples indicate how an assessment should be carried out and how to develop appropriate and effective interventions and treatment plans.
This book will empower clinicians to assess for and treat LGBTQ+ IPV whenever and wherever they encounter it.

About the author
Susan Holt
5 books26 followersI am a bubbly and unconventional actress and writer living in Porirua, New Zealand.
After studying linguistics at university, I followed my dream and moved to Australia for a two-year acting course. During that sojourn, I discovered a talent for writing (yay!)
When I was a kid, I used to get between four and eight books out of the library at once and plough through them really quickly. I unfortunately lost that habit when I grew up, but I missed it and so am getting back to it.
Though I've been courageous sometimes, I have spent far too many years stuck behind a desk doing administration. The main force behind my ultimate release is my husband Robert, whom I married in 2010. He is my inspiration and enabler par excellence and I truly don't deserve him.
