“The book effectively introduced and contextualized adolescent dating violence, described its lasting consequences, and offered directions for how future research should be organized and implemented. Future dating violence researchers and practitioners should appreciate this work by using it as a first port of call when designing trials and interventions. This book has made a significant contribution to the study of adolescence by helping dating violence gain scientific relevancy … .” (Daniel Edwards, Journal of Youth and Adolescence, Vol. 45, 2016)

“The Psychology of Violence in Adolescent Romantic Relationships provides an in-depth explanation of how violence has transformed relationships among adolescents and the implications and interventions that can address them. … recommended for practitioners, scientific researchers, and policy-makers, whose work impacts victims and perpetrators, who seek to further their understanding of violence in adolescent relationships.” (Samantha Dillman, Journal of Youth and Adolescence, Vol. 45, 2016)

“This volume offers a useful overview of the empirical literature pertaining to adolescent dating violence. Researchers and clinicians dealing with dating violence will find it of use. The literature reviewed is helpfully organized into tables. Such tables are very useful in allowing readers to evaluate the empirical literature using systematic criteria.” (Clifton R. Emery, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 60 (50), December, 2015)
