Aymer's brilliant capacity to read the historical, cultural, and racial trends as well as the necessary nuances of the dynamics of domestic violence, sets this book apart. His clinical acuity differentiates his voice. He centers the impact of violence against women, while uniquely recognizing the psychic wounds of those who commit the harm. Aymer's work will be treasured for years to come.

The organization of Aymer’s book makes it an excellent tool for learning about clinical interventions for adults and children impacted by intimate partner violence, as well as learning about sound clinical practice more generally. While clinical case presentations bring the specific topics discussed in each chapter to life, the extremely helpful recommendations to clinicians further elucidate clinical approaches with a clarity and a usefulness that is rarely seen, even in the best clinical texts.
The breadth of the information contained in this text is amazing. However, all the more amazing is that Aymer so clearly demonstrates that an understanding of intersectionality and the development of ethno-cultural competency with regard to clinical work cannot be simply an afterthought but must be fully integrated into every aspect of the work.
