The authors draw on their extensive experience as practitioners and researchers in the field, placing particular focus on evidence-based practice. Topics covered include: Child protection ; Interprofessional collaboration ; The policy and legal context ; Working with women ; Working with men. Each chapter begins with a case study and concludes with reflective questions to highlight practice dilemmas and challenge students to reflect critically.
