An Interview on Interpersonal Violence (IPV)

In September of 2021 I was a guest on the podcast 'Coping Conversations' with Dr Bob Phillips.  Here I discuss many of the issues surrounding interpersonal and domestic violence and assessing the violence-potential of prospective partners (VPPP).  As you may know, I am the Research Director of the The Melissa Institute for Violence Prevention and Treatment and so, this is an issue that is close to my heart.

You can listen to that interview with the attached file at the top of this article. I hope you find it interesting and helpful in your pursuit of expertise, and that it may directly help you and your families.

Once again, thank you for your interest and attention.
