Adolescent Violence in the Home

Adolescent Violence in the Home examines a form of violence that has a profound impact on families but is often overlooked and frequently misunderstood: teen aggression and violence toward members of their familyâespecially parents. Violence in adolescents is often seen as the result of a mental-health diagnosis delinquency or as a response to dysfunctional parenting and though understanding a youthâs mental-health status or a parenting style can be helpful complete focus on either is misplaced. Adolescent Violence in the Home uses a restorative framework developed by the authors and in use in court systems and organizations around the world to situate violent behaviors in the context of power and the intergenerational cycle of violence. Readers will come away from this book with a profound understanding of the social and individual factors that lead youth to use violence and how adolescent violence affects parents and theyâll also learn about a variety of interventions that specifically address teen violence against parents. .
