It is such a serious and complicated problem that any single discipline can only portray a small piece of the big picture. Family violence not only influences one's physical and mental health, but it also has profound effects on one's social functioning, welfare, and legal status. Fragmented approaches to the formulation of preventive strategies may only touch on the surface of individual disciplines, and therefore hamper their overall effectiveness. Integrated approaches that involve multiple disciplines appear to be more effective in tackling the problem, although they are sadly lacking to date. This book stems from the synergistic effort in the symposium. Almost all the speakers, as well as some professionals who newly joined in the undertaking, contributed to its chapters. 606 $aFamily violence$zChina$zHong Kong$xPrevention 606 $aFamily violence$xResearch$zChina$zHong Kong 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFamily violence$xPrevention. 615 0$aFamily violence$xResearch 676 $a362.8292 701 $aChan$b Edward Ko Ling$01045793 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461078103321 996 $aPreventing family violence$92472307 997 $aUNINA
