Book Reviews

"Whether one chooses a formal treatment program which this book advises for couples, or whether one simply wishes to gain insights for preliminary counseling, Dr. Peter Neidig and Dale Friedman offer a skill-building training format identifying the factors that contribute to violence and offer a full range of exercises, surveys, logs, and contracts for dealing with the treatment of spouse abuse."
-- Kert Lauterbach, Newsletter of the Evangelical Lutheran Church

"I recommend this book for family practitioners, but educators could easily adapt many of the program ideas and exercises for classroom or workshop presentations."
-- Jean Giles-Sims, Family Relations

"After reading this book pastoral counseling specialists may want to consider starting a spouse abuse program for couples, or at least revise a present program, and certainly will want to utilize some of the exercises and approaches contained in this book in their regular marital and family counseling work."
