This second edition of When Father Kills Mother is an important book to be read by all involved in planning and providing services for children who directly experience or witness violence.

Readers will find especially helpful the sections on child laws and practice of child protection and the chapters that speak directly to techniques to guide children through trauma and grief. Also exemplary are the research findings discussed in chapter twelve that discuss the long term effects on children following family violence and what helps to ameliorate suffering and negative outcomes.
