Abstract

The field of family violence poses a challenge for professionals at the levels of both research and practice. Fundamental to this challenge is clarity regarding the nature and labeling of phenomena, where we seek to find the phenomena and how we view them, the role of gender and of context in understanding the phenomena, and the integration of work on family violence into broader literatures on basic psychological processes. The present article discusses each of these issues in turn.
