Reviews "A practical, well-written, and extremely valuable resource for all mental health professionals dealing with the numerous forms of interpersonal violence. It spans the spectrum of violence from bullying to workplace violence and will serve the reader quite well. I recommend this tome as an excellent source of assessment and treatment strategies, thought-provoking information, and prevention techniques for the present and future." -Albert R.
