520    With its focus on the connection between health and mental
       health symptoms, this seminal, groundbreaking work 
       continues to forge new directions in the field of domestic
       violence. Describing a condition that is the basis for the
       battered woman defense--cited in cases of physically and 
       psychologically abused women who have killed their abusers
       --it continues to be used as a defense to explain 
       premeditated assault or murder. Completely updated, the 
       fourth edition reflects the significant changes in the 
       field since the book was last published, incorporating 
       Affordable Care Act (ACA) guidelines on health care and 
       domestic violence and data from the Adverse Childhood 
       Experiences Study. It examines new research regarding 
       battered women and cross-cultural and cross-national 
       issues, and includes several new chapters addressing 
       issues ranging from murder--suicide in domestic violence 
       cases to proposed legislation and congressional 
       resolutions. The fourth edition provides new findings 
       worldwide that reinforce the cycle theory of violence. It 
       reflects new research on traumatic responses, and 
       addresses trauma-informed and trauma-specific 
       psychotherapy, interventions with youth in juvenile 
       detention centers, information from government task forces
       regarding children exposed to violence and juvenile 
       justice, and new findings regarding the application of 
       psychology to the legal system. Entirely new to the fourth
       edition is a section about reforming family court and 
       divorce presumptions. This is crucial reading for nearly 
       all health and mental health workers who may be called 
       upon to ask clients about experiences of domestic violence
       and must respond knowledgeably and effectively. New to the
