Based on the authors' work with families who have experienced domestic abuse, the activities are designed around four important themes: building self-esteem; naming feelings; facilitating communication between mothers and children; and talking about personal experiences, including domestic violence, and are accompanied by photographs which act as prompts for discussion. The authors explain the need of young people to communicate with their parents about painful memories. They also establish practical 'ground rules' on how mothers can enter into that communication successfully and how to make the most of the activities provided.

This book is out of print and will be published under a new title..OUR STORIES OF DOMESTIC ABUSE..Please contact us for an ebook or the new title. Author is not receiving royalties for Domestic Abuse Our Stories.There is a misconception in our society about abuse. My intent with this book is to select some accounts of abuse to show that these things can and do happen in a lot of families, not just to the poor and uneducated. We get to enter these households and see that these women don't instigate these attacks, nor do they enjoy them. These women deserve to be heard and we need to listen. Domestic abuse is in the papers every day. Maybe this book will give women the courage to leave their abusers and help us to better understand this growing problem. My hope is that these stories stay with my readers long after they put the book down. 
How is it possible for a highly educated woman with a career and resources of her own to stay in a marriage with an abusive husband? How can a man be considered a pillar of his community and regularly give his wife a black eye? The very nature of these questions proves how convinced we are that domestic violence is restricted to the lower classes. Now Susan Weitzman explores a heretofore overlooked population of battered wives-the upper-educated and upper-income women who rarely report abuse and remain trapped by their own silence.

Mark is hiding beneath his bedcovers, shaking, tears streaming down his cheeks. He hears his parents shouting nasty words at each other and the sounds of crashing coming from the kitchen. The last time this happened, his mother got a black eye and a split lip. Mark has come to believe that the fighting is his fault and that he should be able to prevent it.Elizabeth hides under her bed because she knows what is coming. Her mother climbs the stairs and throws open the bedroom door. She is yelling as she drags her daughter out from under the bed. While beating Elizabeth with a hairbrush, she screams, “I’ll teach you to hit your little brother!” Jose knows the routine. As he and his father walk into the house, he prepares himself for another tongue-lashing. He struck out three times during the game and will now pay a heavy price for his failure. His father begins with the usual comments about being “disgusted” and “embarrassed.” As he hears the word “sissy,” Jose begins to wish he were dead. Katrina begins to feel sick in the stomach as her dad sits down next to her on the couch. She knows he is going to touch her in places a father should not touch his daughter. Katrina is confused because her dad is smiling and talking in a friendly voice as he fondles her. She wants to scream, but remains silent because she can smell the alcohol on his breath. Each of these incidents takes place thousands of times every day in America’s most violent institution – the family. Children are more likely to be murdered, physically assaulted, sexually abused or psychologically injured in their own home than anywhere else. Although the issue of domestic violence is not new, the public has only recently become aware of this national problem. The National Crime Survey (conducted by the Department of Justice) reported the following: 1) about 1.5 million cases of domestic violence involving children are reported each year; 2) another million cases go unreported and 3) between two and five thousand children die each year because of domestic violence. Domestic violence involving children is more than doubling every decade. While some of this huge growth can be attributed to increased reporting and better record keeping, domestic violence against children is reaching epidemic proportions. The above statistics include only those incidents in which children were the “direct” target of domestic violence. Millions of other young people endure the “indirect” results of family violence. Because of these experiences, children can suffer from anxiety, depression, guilt and fear. These feelings can follow the child throughout his or her life and the effects can be devastating. Many of these young people mistakenly feel responsible for the violence and some go on to commit domestic violence when they become parents. Author: Ronald E. Sharp, Waln K.

The first edition of Philip W. Cook's book, Abused Men: The Hidden Side of Domestic Violence (Praeger, 1997), drew attention and praise nationwide from individuals and from media, ranging from CNN and Fox network's The O'Reilly Factor to scholarly publications such as The Journal of Marriage and Family. On the 10th anniversary of that groundbreaking book, Cook began revising and expanding his work. The result is this second edition—a disturbing look at a trend that continues to increase. The new edition of Abused Men: The Hidden Side of Domestic Violence offers up-to-date data on the prevalence of intimate partner violence against men, incorporating personal interviews and cases drawn from the media. It also includes updates on law, legislation, court activity, social responses, police activity, support groups, batterer programs, and crisis intervention programs. The final chapter contains a detailed and specific description of needed reforms in the current approach to intimate partner violence, whether the victims are male or female. Author: Philip W.

Rethinking Domestic Violence reviews research in the area of intimate partner violence. The research crosses disciplinary lines, including social and clinical psychology, sociology, psychiatry, criminology, and criminal justice research. Since the area of intimate partner violence is so heavily politicized, Dutton tries to steer through conflicting claims by assessing the best research methodology. As a result, he comes to some new conclusions about intimate partner violence. After 20 years of viewing intimate partner violence as generated by gender and focusing on a punitive "law and order" approach, Dutton now argues that this approach must be more varied and flexible. Treatment providers, criminal justice systems personnel, lawyers, and researchers have indicated the need for a new view of the problem—one less invested in gender politics and more open to collaborative views and interdisciplinary insights.Author: Donald G.

Domestic violence, childhood sexual abuse, rape and sexual assault, and sexual exploitation through prostitution, pornography and trafficking can have many significant adverse impacts on a survivor’s health and wellbeing, in the short, medium and long-term. Taking a life-course approach, the book explores what is known about appropriate treatment responses to those who have experienced, and those who perpetrate, domestic and sexual violence and abuse. The book also examines key factors that are important in understanding how and why different groups experience heightened risks of domestic and sexual violence and abuse, namely: gender and sexuality; race and culture; disability; and abuse by professionals. Drawing together results from specially commissioned research, the views of experts by experience, experts by profession and the published research literature, the book argues that sufficient is already known to delineate an appropriate public health framework, encompassing primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, to successfully tackle the important public health issue represented by domestic and sexual violence and abuse. Domestic and Sexual Violence and Abuse equips health and social care professionals and services to identify and respond to the needs of affected individuals with a view to the prevention and early intervention.

Children have been abused and neglect nearly as long as man has inhabited earth. History reveals how the Sumerians, five thousand years ago, had a man in charge of the whip to punish boys who stepped out of line. It was common for the ancient Greek philosophers to have sex with their young male students. The Spartans abandoned their weak and deformed children on hillsides or threw them into a deep canyon. In China and India, children were cast into rivers as offerings to water gods to bring good harvests. For most of history, children have been abandoned, beaten, sacrificed, sold, used in sex, murdered, even eaten. Very little was done to protect them.In 1875, the case of Mary Ellen began a new era for the rights of children. Her adoptive parents abused and neglected Mary Ellen. Concerned church workers tried to convince local authorities to take legal action against the parents. They next appealed for help to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). The SPCA brought Mary Ellen to the attention of the court as a mistreated “animal.” Since the law did protect animals from abuse, the court took Mary Ellen from her adoptive parents. They went to prison. Children had at least reached a status equal to animals. Because of the Mary Ellen case, the New York County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was established. Similar societies began in other American cities. By 1968, all 50 states had enacted some form of law regarding the reporting of child abuse. In 1974, the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act was signed into law, creating the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect. Nearly 100 years after the case of Mary Ellen, a national approach to the problem of child abuse began. Unfortunately, however, the problem of child abuse and neglect continues. Each year, over one million cases of child abuse and neglected are reported to authorities in the United States. As many as seven children die each day from abuse. About 12 abused children each day suffer brain damage. It is impossible to know exactly how many children suffer from emotional, physical or mental handicaps resulting from abuse and neglect. What can we do about this national tragedy? How can we save children from further abuse and neglect? One answer is citizen involvement. Concerned citizens saved Mary Ellen. Law enforcement and government agencies cannot do the job alone. They, and the children they protect, need your help. This publication provides information so that you will better understand the problems of child abuse and neglect and know how to help prevent and report it. If you are concerned about child abuse and neglect, get involved. If you need better parenting skills, seek help. If you suspect child abuse and neglect, report it. Your concerned involvement CAN make an important difference in the lives of America’s abused and neglected children. Author: Waln K.

Evidence is mounting that animal abuse, frequently embedded in families scarred by domestic violence and child abuse and neglect, often predicts the potential for other violent acts. As early intervention is critical in the prevention and reduction of aggression, this boo encourages researchers and professionals to recognize animal abuse as significant problem and a human public-health issue that should be included as a curriculum topic in training. The book is an interdisciplinary sourcebook of original essays that examines the relations between animal maltreatment and human interpersonal violence, expands the scope of research in this growing area, and provides practical assessment and documentation strategies to help professionals confronting violence do their jobs better by attending to these connections. This book brings together, for the first time, all of the leaders in this emerging field. They examine contemporary research and programmatic issues, encourage cross-disciplinary interactions, and describe innovative programs in the field today. The book also includes vivid first-person accounts from "survivors" whose experiences included animal maltreatment among other forms of family violence.

If you have observed any of the following warning signs from a family member or friend, she may be a victim. You can help her--and, you might be saving her life! WARNING SIGNS OF DOMESTIC ABUSE: Unexplainable injuries Says author Elaine Weiss, who also wrote "Surviving Domestic Violence: Voices of Women Who Broke Free", Volcano Press, "Domestic violence doesn't just happen out there. It happens in our town, in our neighborhood, on our street. It happens to women we see at the supermarket, the movie theater, and the PTA. It happens to our friends and our co-workers. It happens to our mothers, our sisters, our daughters, and ourselves." 
Set between the 1950s and the beginning of the 21st century, "A Time to Tell" is the poignant story of Cara, from her dramatic attempted suicide to her roles as a smitten eighteen-year-old, wife, widow and grandmother, and her final, passionate reunion with the man she has always loved. It is also the parallel tale of Cara's prodigal son Benjamin and his daughter Penelope, whose unhappy relationship with her father has led her into marriage with a man whose own dysfunctional family have turned him into a person who at first seems strangely attractive, but turns out to have a dark and terrifying side... Rich in colourful characters and pertinent social themes, "A Time to Tell" is an eventful and often disturbing tale of the pain and pleasures of family relationships.Author: Maria Savva Kindle Edition: Kindle eBook Company: Rose And Freedom Books (2010-09-22) (2010-09-22) List Price: $2.99 Amazon Price:

What I Wish I Had Known When You Think You Are Being Abused - Abuse is real and it happens to both men and women at the hands of both sexes. It is appalling, inexcusable and it ruins lives, wreaks havoc on the faces, minds and bodies of those who have to endure it. If you see signs of having an abusive husband, abusive wife or abusive person of any kind in your life, here you can learn from my mistakes.What I Did Instead - The next day, as I stood in the foyer hearing the wedding march begin to play, I looked at the glass windows of the church that I had grown up in, and I paused. I wondered if I should turn back and tell my Dad when he came to get me, to walk down the aisle that I had changed my mind and that I had serious doubts about marrying my groom. Out of pride and love for them, I went down the aisle with a bit of dread in my heart, dismissing it quickly and shoving it down to the pit of my stomach and my mind. Thus, began a pattern that would continue for almost twenty-seven years…..shoving aside what I should have confronted face to face.

When Trauma and Recovery was first published in 1992, it was hailed as a groundbreaking work. In the intervening years, Herman’s volume has changed the way we think about and treat traumatic events and trauma victims. In a new afterword, Herman chronicles the incredible response the book has elicited and explains how the issues surrounding the topic have shifted within the clinical community and the culture at large.Trauma and Recovery brings a new level of understanding to a set of problems usually considered individually. Herman draws on her own cutting-edge research in domestic violence as well as on the vast literature of combat veterans and victims of political terror, to show the parallels between private terrors such as rape and public traumas such as terrorism. The book puts individual experience in a broader political frame, arguing that psychological trauma can be understood only in a social context. Meticulously documented and frequently using the victims’ own words as well as those from classic literary works and prison diaries, Trauma and Recovery is a powerful work that will continue to profoundly impact our thinking.

Many women who free themselves from violent domestic situations experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) long after they achieve physical and emotional safety. A ringing telephone or a crowded city street threatens a potential encounter with their abuser. People they care for seem far away, and things they used to enjoy offer neither pleasure nor relief. Their long, sleepless nights drag on. If you’ve freed yourself from an abusive relationship but still suffer from its effects, this program of trauma recovery techniques can help you take back your peace of mind. Based on a clinically proven set of techniques called cognitive trauma therapy (CTT), the exercises in this workbook will help you address feelings of guilt, anger, depression, anxiety, and stress. You’ll learn how to break down the negative thoughts that might be cycling in your mind and how to replace them with positive, constructive affirmations. Later in the program, you’ll be guided through controlled exposure to abuse reminders, which will enable you to face the fears you might otherwise spend a lifetime avoiding. The program begins and ends with techniques for becoming your own best advocate—an informed, confident person with all the strength you need to create the secure, fulfilling life you deserve.

DOES YOUR PARTNER . . .* have sudden outbursts of anger or rage? * become jealous without reason? * prevent you from seeing friends and family? * deny you access to family assets such as bank accounts, credit cards, or the car? * control all finances and force you to account for what you spend? * insult you or call you derogatory names? * humiliate you in front of your children? * turn minor incidents into major arguments? If you or someone you know can answer "yes" to the questions above, chances are you are suffering from nonphysical battering--controlling, tyrannical behavior that is just as damaging to a woman's self-esteem as a broken bone or a black eye. An experienced counselor who works with abused women, Mary Susan Miller breaks the silence that surrounds this devastating form of domestic violence. She identifies the many types of nonphysical abuse verbal, emotional, psychological, social, and economic--and explores why this outrageous treatment of women continues unabated in our society. Dr. Miller also shares the stories of many survivors who have escaped their abusive relationships. Their experiences--with law enforcement, the legal system, and the community itself--can help prepare any woman for the decision of whether to stay or leave the relationship. And if she decides to go, Dr. Miller offers sound guidelines on how to protect herself and her children, since a woman's decision to leave is usually the time she is in the most danger from her abuser. Finally, Dr. Miller inspires hope: You can break free of the nightmare of nonphysical battering and heal, once again engaging in a life of integrity, dignity, and peace.

Domestic violence is a leading cause of injury and death to women worldwide. Nearly one in four women around the globe is physically or sexually abused in her lifetime, and gender violence causes more death and disability among women aged 15 to 44 than cancer, malaria, traffic accidents or war. Regrettably, the church is not immune to this problem. Numerous studies suggest that incident rates among active churchgoers are nearly the same as those among the general populace. In this thoroughly revised and updated edition, Catherine Clark Kroeger and Nancy Nason-Clark share with readers a further ten years of experience in listening to the voices of women from around the world and especially to those within the church. They help us hear their cries and find concrete ways to respond so that no home will be a place of abuse.

Mark is hiding beneath his bedcovers, shaking, tears streaming down his cheeks. He hears his parents shouting nasty words at each other and the sounds of crashing coming from the kitchen. The last time this happened, his mother got a black eye and a split lip. Mark has come to believe that the fighting is his fault and that he should be able to prevent it.Elizabeth hides under her bed because she knows what is coming. Her mother climbs the stairs and throws open the bedroom door. She is yelling as she drags her daughter out from under the bed. While beating Elizabeth with a hairbrush, she screams, “I’ll teach you to hit your little brother!” Jose knows the routine. As he and his father walk into the house, he prepares himself for another tongue-lashing. He struck out three times during the game and will now pay a heavy price for his failure. His father begins with the usual comments about being “disgusted” and “embarrassed.” As he hears the word “sissy,” Jose begins to wish he were dead. Katrina begins to feel sick in the stomach as her dad sits down next to her on the couch. She knows he is going to touch her in places a father should not touch his daughter. Katrina is confused because her dad is smiling and talking in a friendly voice as he fondles her. She wants to scream, but remains silent because she can smell the alcohol on his breath. Each of these incidents takes place thousands of times every day in America’s most violent institution – the family. Children are more likely to be murdered, physically assaulted, sexually abused or psychologically injured in their own home than anywhere else. Although the issue of domestic violence is not new, the public has only recently become aware of this national problem. The National Crime Survey (conducted by the Department of Justice) reported the following: 1) about 1.5 million cases of domestic violence involving children are reported each year; 2) another million cases go unreported and 3) between two and five thousand children die each year because of domestic violence. Domestic violence involving children is more than doubling every decade. While some of this huge growth can be attributed to increased reporting and better record keeping, domestic violence against children is reaching epidemic proportions. The above statistics include only those incidents in which children were the “direct” target of domestic violence. Millions of other young people endure the “indirect” results of family violence. Because of these experiences, children can suffer from anxiety, depression, guilt and fear. These feelings can follow the child throughout his or her life and the effects can be devastating. Many of these young people mistakenly feel responsible for the violence and some go on to commit domestic violence when they become parents. Author: Ronald E. Sharp, Waln K.

Rethinking Domestic Violence reviews research in the area of intimate partner violence. The research crosses disciplinary lines, including social and clinical psychology, sociology, psychiatry, criminology, and criminal justice research. Since the area of intimate partner violence is so heavily politicized, Dutton tries to steer through conflicting claims by assessing the best research methodology. As a result, he comes to some new conclusions about intimate partner violence. After 20 years of viewing intimate partner violence as generated by gender and focusing on a punitive "law and order" approach, Dutton now argues that this approach must be more varied and flexible. Treatment providers, criminal justice systems personnel, lawyers, and researchers have indicated the need for a new view of the problem—one less invested in gender politics and more open to collaborative views and interdisciplinary insights.Author: Donald G.

Domestic violence exists. That is a simple disturbing fact. It isn't something that should be ignored or swept under the rug. It is imperative to face this problem, acknowledge it's existence and do our best to aid those who are exposed to it. Children, all too often, are susceptible to accepting responsibility for their parent's bad behavior. They need to understand that they are not responsible for the violence. This book attempts to explain a very complicated issue to young children. It is focused on pre-school to middle school children. It is not designed as a panacea, merely an attempt to help them understand what is going on in their lives.Author: William George Bentrim Paperback: 28 pages Company: CreateSpace (2009-11-29) ISBN: 1449512577 List Price: $10.99 Amazon Price: $10.99

"This is a thoughtful and scholarly addition to the unfortunately scarce literature on domestic violence and oppression in all its forms."—Jacquelyn C. Campbell, Anna D. Wolf Chair, Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing"An exciting and powerful collection that eloquently critiques some of the current thinking in domestic violence and raises key concerns for advocates and scholars working in the area."—Sujata Warrier, president, board of directors, Manavi: An organization for South Asian women "Sokoloff has assembled an impressive array of authors who challenge us to ‘think outside of our contemporary domestic violence box.’"—Angela M. Moore Parmley, chief, violence and victimization research division, National Institute of Justice This groundbreaking anthology reorients the field of domestic violence research by bringing long-overdue attention to the structural forms of oppression in communities marginalized by race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, or social class. Reprints of the most influential recent work in the field as well as more than a dozen newly commissioned essays explore theoretical issues, current research, service provision, and activism among Latinos, African Americans, Asian Americans, Jewish Americans, and lesbians. The volume rejects simplistic analyses of the role of culture in domestic violence by elucidating the support systems available to battered women within different cultures, while at the same time addressing the distinct problems generated by that culture.

Her age, economic status, race, religion, nationality and educational background don’t matter. Violence against woman is indiscriminate . It is an epidemic affecting individuals in every community. HONEYMOON AND HELL is based on the author’s own personal experience. Sarah is brave in her honesty in sharing what seem to be pages straight from her diary.

It succeeds in bringing the reader along on a journey of understanding how abuse is a slow and insidious process that escalates and results in an erosion process away from healthy and rightful expectation.

Thanks to the Simpson case, domestic violence is no longer a dirty little secret. It remains, however, a devastating problem, and even more, a deadly killer. What is the answer? In 1994, Lou Brown, father of Nicole Brown Simpson, gave us one solution by establishing a foundation in his daughter's name that provides urgently needed funding to battered women's shelters across the country. Now he goes a step further, and with the help of a like-minded pastor and a legal activist who has been battered, offers hope and practical strategies for combating domestic violence. In a book whose first half is geared to support network people like himself--parents, families, friends, both personal and professional, and acquaintances who can and should make a difference--and whose second half is directed at the victims of abuse, here is an action plan for battered women and those around them.. This book offers a checklist for the victim of domestic violence, from obtaining restraining orders to getting the support network on her side. Here are steps on how to combat battering within families, within communities, within homes and at the legislative level. For Concerned Friends and Family: What makes these men do it, and is there a cure for them? Why do women stay? What can I do to help a battered woman? And for the Victim--How do I: Get stronger on the inside? Deal with the legal system? Stay sane in a shelter? Stay save and begin recovery? This is a how-to book--practical, easy to use--and it just might save a life.

According to the American Medical Association, one quarter of American women will be abused by an intimate partner at some point in their lives. Loving support can make a tremendous difference to survivors as they struggle with the difficult process of healing and regaining trust in themselves and others. Often, however, pastoral caregivers possess the same misconceptions about domestic violence as does the uninformed public. Al Miles addresses the issues related to inadequate pastoral response to this pervasive problem. He explores the dynamics of abusive relationships and the role that clergy members can take to heal this painful situation. The new edition of Domestic Violence builds upon the insights, policies, and programs of the original volume and includes new information on the pathology of domestic violence and the effect the economic downturn is having on victim-survivors and batterers. Miles also focuses on helping clergy and other pastoral ministers develop a more compassionate response to victim-survivors who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender.

When Trauma and Recovery was first published in 1992, it was hailed as a groundbreaking work. In the intervening years, Herman’s volume has changed the way we think about and treat traumatic events and trauma victims. In a new afterword, Herman chronicles the incredible response the book has elicited and explains how the issues surrounding the topic have shifted within the clinical community and the culture at large.Trauma and Recovery brings a new level of understanding to a set of problems usually considered individually. Herman draws on her own cutting-edge research in domestic violence as well as on the vast literature of combat veterans and victims of political terror, to show the parallels between private terrors such as rape and public traumas such as terrorism. The book puts individual experience in a broader political frame, arguing that psychological trauma can be understood only in a social context. Meticulously documented and frequently using the victims’ own words as well as those from classic literary works and prison diaries, Trauma and Recovery is a powerful work that will continue to profoundly impact our thinking.

Domestic violence, a serious and far-reaching social problem, has generated two key debates among researchers. The first debate is about gender and domestic violence. Some scholars argue that domestic violence is primarily male-perpetrated, others that women are as violent as men in intimate relationships. Johnson's response to this debate--and the central theme of this book--is that there is more than one type of intimate partner violence. Some studies address the type of violence that is perpetrated primarily by men, while others are getting at the kind of violence that women areinvolved in as well. Because there has been no theoretical framework delineating types of domestic violence, researchers have easily misread one another's studies.The second major debate involves how many women are abused each year by their partners. Estimates range from two to six million. Johnson's response once again comes from this book's central theme. If there is more than one type of intimate partner violence, then the numbers depend on what type you're talking about. Johnson argues that domestic violence is not a unitary phenomenon. Instead, he delineates three major, dramatically different, forms of partner violence: intimate terrorism, violent resistance, and situational couple violence. He roots the conceptual distinctions among the forms of violence in an analysis of the role of power and control in relationship violence and shows that the failure to make these basic distinctions among types of partner violence has produced a research literature that is plagued by both overgeneralizations and ostensibly contradictory findings. This volume begins the work of theorizing forms of domestic violence, a crucial first step to a better understanding of these phenomena among scholars, social scientists, policy makers, and service providers.

Chapters focus on African Americans, Native Americans, Latinas, Asian and Pacific Island communities, persons with disabilities, immigrants and refugees, women in later life, LGBT survivors, and military families.

However, survivors know that leaving is not the end of the nightmare -- it is the beginning of an often difficult and challenging journey toward healing and happiness. It’s My Life Now offers readers the practical guidance, emotional reassurance, and psychological awareness that survivors of relationship abuse and domestic violence need to heal and reclaim their lives after leaving their abusers. Since its publication in 2000, It's My Life Now has been highly successful as a working manual for survivors who are starting their lives over after an abusive relationship. This valuable book combines direction on practical and emotional issues with worksheets and self-exploration exercises. Now, in the second edition, Dugan and Hock include updated information and resources while encompassing a wider range of individuals and the relationships in which abuse and violence occur. The new edition also provides a new emphasis on safety assessment, which has increasingly been shown to be a critical factor in recovery. In addition, this new edition includes current resources and information about organizations for victims along with revised and enhanced strategies to help survivors move forward on the path of recovery.

We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses. Carl JungWho is Sarah Braun? She is a woman. That is the only thing you will ever need to know. Her age, economic status, race, religion, nationality and educational background don’t matter. Violence against woman is indiscriminate . It is an epidemic affecting individuals in every community. HONEYMOON AND HELL is based on the author’s own personal experience. Sarah is brave in her honesty in sharing what seem to be pages straight from her diary. She defines in a clear voice the emotional strongholds involved in an often very intense, sometimes very satisfying, and yet, very damaging intimate relationship. This is an important work. It is not a cautionary tale, but a valuable navigational tool that succeeds in providing a path of hope beyond continued dedication to an abusive relationship. The book offers concise insight as to why women stay and remain dedicated to an intimate partner that abuses them. The writing lends clarity to the imbalance in the overall relationship dynamic. The motivations and roles of both partners combined is what allow for the cycle of abuse to continue. It empowers women to remove their status as victim and reclaim their emotional independence. HONEYMOON AND HELL makes the uncomfortable topic of relationship abuse approachable and relatable. It succeeds in bringing the reader along on a journey of understanding how abuse is a slow and insidious process that escalates and results in an erosion process away from healthy and rightful expectation. Humor and warmth engage and embrace the reader as a friend and confidant. Understanding removes isolation. Hope replaces despair. The message becomes clear that the only real power you have is to change yourself. There are no victims only volunteers. This is a work expressly dedicated to every woman bravely willing to take the first tentative step to break the cycle of abuse.

Trauma can turn your world upside down; afterward, nothing may look safe or familiar. And, if you are a woman, studies show that you are twice as likely than your male counterparts to suffer from the effects of a traumatic event sometime during your life. Whether the trauma is physical, sexual, or emotional, these events can overwhelm you, destroying your sense of being in control and altering your attachments to others. If left unaddressed, the resulting psychological trauma can lead you to a wide range of destructive symptoms like anxiety, depression, substance abuse, phobias, personality disorders, flashbacks, emotional numbing, and nightmares. This book offers proven-effective, step-by-step exercises you can use to work through and minimize the consequences of a traumatic event.

DOES YOUR PARTNER . . .* have sudden outbursts of anger or rage? * become jealous without reason? * prevent you from seeing friends and family? * deny you access to family assets such as bank accounts, credit cards, or the car? * control all finances and force you to account for what you spend? * insult you or call you derogatory names? * humiliate you in front of your children? * turn minor incidents into major arguments? If you or someone you know can answer "yes" to the questions above, chances are you are suffering from nonphysical battering--controlling, tyrannical behavior that is just as damaging to a woman's self-esteem as a broken bone or a black eye. An experienced counselor who works with abused women, Mary Susan Miller breaks the silence that surrounds this devastating form of domestic violence. She identifies the many types of nonphysical abuse verbal, emotional, psychological, social, and economic--and explores why this outrageous treatment of women continues unabated in our society. Dr. Miller also shares the stories of many survivors who have escaped their abusive relationships. Their experiences--with law enforcement, the legal system, and the community itself--can help prepare any woman for the decision of whether to stay or leave the relationship. And if she decides to go, Dr. Miller offers sound guidelines on how to protect herself and her children, since a woman's decision to leave is usually the time she is in the most danger from her abuser. Finally, Dr. Miller inspires hope: You can break free of the nightmare of nonphysical battering and heal, once again engaging in a life of integrity, dignity, and peace.

For the last ten years Betsy Groves has been working with children traumatized by witnessing violence. In this book she shows how children understand, respond to, and are affected by violence, especially domestic violence. Groves makes the powerful case that traumatic events carried out by family members carry the most severe psychological risks for very young children. She uses clinical case studies to show that being young does not protect against the lasting effects of witnessing violence, and she offers ways adults can help.Author: Betsy Mcalister Groves Paperback: 184 pages Company: Beacon Press (2003-01-20) (2003-01-20) ISBN: 0807031399 List Price: $20.00 Amazon Price: $17.50 Used Price: $10.50

Effective emotional growth and healing can only occur in an atmosphere of safety and security. The threats and dangers that stem from abuse may be severe, even lethal. It is in self-esteem and confidence where their, perhaps, greatest toll is experienced. Dr. Coyle takes a systematic, reassuring, and practical approach to the process of claiming safety. The Safety From Current Abuse presentation was developed to carefully and systematically lead individuals that may be suffering from current abuse through a set of considerations regarding whether such might be reoccurring and what options exist for their freedom from these dangerous situations. This presentation is part of the Abuse Track (sold separately). Often, individuals raised in abusive environments find themselves in abusive situations in adult life. Such individuals also classically find the truth of being in an abusive situation difficult to accept and often require repeated reminders of their reality and what can be done about it. Video presentations such as this one offer the opportunity for reminder until empowerment and choice can be realized THE PRESENTER: M: COPYRIGHT AND USAGE: This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

The Choice is Yours: Breaking The Cycle of Teen Dating Violence
This riveting educational documentary helps viewers see how they can unwittingly be transformed from "victim of abuse" into "abuser." Teen dating violence is an essential link that is both cause and effect for deeper cycles of domestic violence. Many young women mistakenly believe that getting the "bad boy" to love them makes them more special than all of the other girls. When this fails, desperate victims often fight back out of a sense of survival-if they survive. Not surprisingly, young women and young men are often too embarrassed to report the fact that they are being abused. Tragically, when children see the violence between Mom & Dad, this often sets the stage for a "next generation" of abuser and abused. The story is hosted by a veteran team leader of a district attorney's family crimes division and authenticated by current and former inmates. All provide introspection and a candid, and sometimes disturbing look at harm that runs much deeper than visible physical scars. The video offers several ways to successfully break the cycle of domestic violence by recognizing the behavior for where it leads, ending the relationships, having an escape plan and changing the predictable outcomes.Director: Ph.D. Charlie Chapin DVD: Color, NTSC, Director's Cut, DVDHelps viewers see the destructive nature of rough relationships, Provides introspection into violent relationships, Teaches viewers to find a way out of harmful relationships, Sets a standard for a healthy relationship Company: Moonshadow Productions (2009) List Price: $49.95 Amazon Price: $89.95

The Hip Hop generation is approximately between the ages of 15 to 38 years. There is ample data available that suggests that this age group is under siege with high rates of intimate partner violence, suicide and homicide.
As Hip Hop has become integrated into the popular culture medium it has the potential to either help through education and setting positive norms and actions or hindering and eroding how we understand and respond to the problem of violence toward women and other forms of violence among this age group as well as the next generation.
IDVAAC recognizes that the messages and the methods to communicate to this generation are very different than in previous generation. This conference will explore various facets of the marketing, music, lyrics, dance, clothing, lifestyle, videos and print media of Hip Hop and whether and how they relate to and impact domestic violence. We will highlight the beneficial and detrimental aspects of this influential cultural phenomenon. We will also bring together master practitioners who work with persons in this age group to teach and discuss their challenges, interventions and triumphs in responding to domestic violence in this generation.
Furthermore, we intend to hear and integrate the voices of this generation as we explore opportunities to prevent or reduce violence in our community.

In what has been described as one of the most powerfully written documentaries ever produced on the subject of teen dating violence, this video offers "life skills coaching," wisdom, introspection, and solid advice on how to have positive relationships, while avoiding abusive ones. The positive advice is contrasted against the touching biographies of three homicide victims who were murdered by their boyfriends. The video offers substantial curriculum on how to spot the warning signs of emotional and physical abuse, ways to avoid abusive behavior in relationships, and a chapter on "How A Girl Can Protect Herself From Abusers." Dozens of survival tips are derived from Jill Murray, expert on domestic and teen dating violence. Carrie Madsen brilliantly delivers in the role of "life coach" and Suzanne Schultz, a veteran family crimes team leader with a district attorney's office, co-hosts. The video concludes with several creative ways to successfully break the cycle of teen dating violence by devising an escape plan, safely ending an abusive relationship, and ultimately creating the kind of bonds in which you can "share the best you have to offer, not the worst."Director: Charlie Chapin DVD: NTSC, Color, DVD, Special Limited Edition, Teacher's EditionEmpowers viewers to create healthy relationships., Teaches viewers to avoid unhealthy relationships.
