Congratulations to the Chair of the Occupational Therapy Department, Emily Rothman for co-authoring the new book, "Adolescent Dating Violence."

From Professor Rothman:
"I could not be more proud to share that Kelli Franco, Jeff Temple and I have co-authored a book on Adolescent Dating Violence for mental health professionals, occupational therapists, nurses, teachers and others now available for purchase in ebook version at https://lnkd.in/eZaGZ825. Hard copies available soon. With much gratitude to Greg Stuart and Lindsay Orchowski for blurbs, Juliane Munson, Danny Wedding, and Hogrefe Publishing.

What a tremendous pleasure to have the chance to collaborate with Jeff Temple and Kelli Franco. We are looking forward to this volume getting into the hands of those who are on the front lines serving youth."

The book's description from Professor Rothman:
"Addressing the critical issue of adolescent dating violence, this comprehensive volume in the Advances in Psychotherapy series provides mental health professionals with the essential tools for recognizing, assessing, and treating victims and perpetrators. The authors expertly explore the diagnostic guidelines, theories, and treatment options, with a focus on those most at risk for dating violence – youth aged 10–24 years. Emphasizing a gender-inclusive and intersectional approach, the text challenges common myths and provides evidence-based recommendations for several effective interventions that can be used in schools and correctional institutions. A detailed case example offers insights into the different aspects of assessment, treatment, and client and school follow-up. This book equips clinical psychologists, child psychologists, educational and school psychologists, forensic psychologists, and students with the latest research and practical resources to respond to adolescent dating violence with care and urgency."
