Adolescent-to-Parent Abuse

Current Understandings in Research, Policy and Practice

Since publication of the first edition, awareness of, and interest in, adolescent-to-parent abuse has risen considerably. Thoroughly revised and updated to incorporate the latest research and developments in policy and practice, this second edition provides a comprehensive overview of the key issues and current responses to the challenges in dealing with this unique form of family abuse.

Exploring the experiences and impact of adolescent-to-parent abuse on individuals, families and communities, this book extends the field to include issues relating to neurodiversity, kinship care, trauma, adult-aged perpetration and fatal violence. Throughout the book, leading expert Amanda Holt challenges existing policy frameworks while offering practical insights for work with families, parents/carers and young people who are experiencing this problem.

A key text for academics, researchers, students and practitioners in psychology, sociology, criminology, social work and social policy, this book provides essential guidance for understanding and addressing this complex and pressing issue.
