Family Violence and Development during Adolescence.
Adolescence is a time of major physical, emotional, social, and personal development. This chapter focuses on how these developmental issues are related to the types, causes, outcomes, prevention, and treatment of family violence involving adolescents. As adolescents are not well represented in the family violence literature, the authors conclude the chapter with a section on the need for further research in this area.
