Book Description

When most people think of domestic violence, images of battered women or abused children come to mind. But there is another side to this issue that is not as familiar--abused men. This unique book is the first to comprehensively examine this important but neglected social issue


	Abused Men; Philip W. Cook


	A compelling, frightening look at women, not as victims of violence, but as perpetrators of it. Alarmed by the number of violent women who later claim their behavior was accidental or caused by abuse, Pearson, a crime journalist who has written for Harper's and other magazines, decided to study current notions of female aggression and uncovered some stunning statistics.


	When She Was Bad : Violent Women & the Myth of Innocence; Patricia Pearson


	"The Domestic Violence Sourcebook" offers a comprehensive look at the issues surrounding domestic violence. Historical, psychological, social, familial, and legal issues are each covered in separate chapters. Prevention and treatment is addressed near the end of the book, as well as guidelines for people who are affected. An up-to-date (1998) list of resources concludes the book.


	The Domestic Violence Sourcebook : Everything You Need to Know; by Dawn Bradley Berry,


	A witness to the destructive forces of domestic violence, Murphy-Milano is on a mission to get women out of abusive situations. To this end, she details the signs of physical and emotional abuse, the patterns that signal problems, and the reasons women sometimes stay in such relationships.


	Defending Our Lives : Getting Away from Domestic Violence and Staying Safe; Susan Murphy-Milano


	Elder Abuse and Neglect : Causes, Diagnosis, and Intervention Strategies (Springer Series on Social Work) by Mary Joy Quinn, Susan K. Tomita


	Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation of Older Persons : Strategies for Assessment and Intervention by Lorin A. Baumhover (Editor), S. Colleen Beall (Editor)

More than a million cases of elder abuse are reported annually in the United States, and the problem is expected to worsen as the population ages. Training staff to recognize and prevent abuse is thus more important than ever. Timely and insightful, Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation of Older Persons is the perfect source for training caregivers in abuse prevention by educating them on the types of elder abuse, sensitizing them to the indicators of elder abuse, and equipping them with effective intervention strategies to defuse abusive situations.

This volume equips readers to meet the unique, complex challenges of clinical work with abused children. Focusing on the interplay between neurobiological and psychological facets of behavior, Heineman shows how abuse disrupts normal development and how skillful psychodynamic psychotherapy can help children talk about, understand, and move beyond the harm that has been done to them. With a wealth of in-depth clinical vignettes, therapists are guided through developmentally informed assessment and treatment processes.


	The Abused Child : Psychodynamic Understanding and Treatment by Toni Vaughn Heineman

A zealous denunciation of a bizarre child-abuse ``witch hunt'' that's undermined by the authors' determination to spin some equally strange conspiracy theories of their own. The McMartin Preschool, for 18 years a popular fixture in the affluent L.A. suburb of Manhattan Beach, rocketed to notoriety following a complaint lodged by an arguably unstable parent whose charges, in addition to sexual abuse, included the beheading of infants and the drinking of their blood


	The Abuse of Innocence : The McMartin Preschool Trial by Paul Eberle, Shirley Eberle


	Emotional abuse can have the same destructive results as physical abuse. In this empathetic book, Jantz clearly defines emotional abuse and tells why it is so common and so damaging. The guidance in this book will help those abused understand the wounds behind the scars, enabling them to get over the past and live for the future


	Healing the Scars of Emotional Abuse by Gregory L. Jantz
