This unique volume uses an occupational perspective to shine a light on how the impact of interpersonal violence (IPV) effects people in their daily tasks and activities.The book recognises how the legacy of trauma – whether it be from one or more events that were physically, verbally, emotionally, sexually or psychologically harmful or threatening – can be seen in the occupational experiences of both victim/survivors and perpetrators. It fills a distinct gap in the literature and highlights a pervasive issue; one which occupational therapists must regularly contend. Edited by a leading scholar from both the US and UK, and including chapters on IPV within intimate relationships, stalking and sexual assault, the book takes the field of occupational therapy into a new direction, setting the research agenda as well as, through invaluable clinical guidance, informing professional practice.This book will be essential reading for students, scholars and practitioners across the field of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy.
