This book explores the unique issues involved in assessing, diagnosing, intervening, and treating intimate partner violence (IPV) in the LGBTQ+ population.Currently, there is little to no instruction regarding this topic in training programs, and this volume is the culmination of an effort to remedy this deficit.

Chapters span topics that include definitions of IPV, its history, relevant issues within the LGBTQ+ community, the unique facets of LGBTQ+ IPV and its assessment and diagnosis. Case examples indicate how an assessment should be carried out and how to develop appropriate and effective interventions and treatment plans.This book will empower clinicians to assess for and treat LGBTQ+ IPV whenever and wherever they encounter it.
