This book emerges from more than two decades of clinical work in specialized programs for child and adolescent victims and witnesses of domestic violence. It is the result of twenty years of listening to and accompanying children and adolescents who have grown up in abusive environments, offering a deep and humane insight into a reality as painful as it is often silenced. The work combines practical experience with theoretical analysis, exploring the consequences of domestic violence on development, the challenges of early detection, and the possibilities for therapeutic intervention. Domestic Violence: Its Impact on Mental Health in Childhood and Adolescence is aimed at professionals who work with child and adolescent victims of domestic violence: psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, occupational therapists, and social educators in mental health services, social services, and community resources.
