Recent public inquiries, research and new legislation have all compelled child care professionals to widen their focus beyond the narrow parameters of the physical health of the child. Emotional and psychological health are now rightly regarded as crucial. This text aims to enable practitioners to articulate precisely what is meant by the terms "emotional" and "psychological" abuse; to be able to identify it, and to formulate effective strategies for dealing with it. The author identifies certain categories of parent and parental circumstances which are conducive to the emotional and psychological abuse of children. He makes clear however, that parents are not the only carers who abuse children in this way. He explores such abuse within an historical, global and cultural context, and examines recent inquiry reports which have exposed the emotional and psychological abuse of children within the child care and child protection systems. Numerous case histories are provided, and one is explored in detail within the context of new child care legislation.Author: Kieran O'Hagan Paperback: 167 pages Company: Univ of Toronto Pr (1993-04) ISBN: 0802074464 List Price: $20.95 Amazon Price: $47.95 Used Price: $14.98

"Spare the rod and spoil the child". Is there a point at which discipline crosses the line and becomes abuse? Dr. Hyman, drawing on an extensive body of research, argues that our society may actually be encouraging teachers and school administrators to perpetuate corporal punishment.Author: Irwin A.

Throughout history, there exists a close connection between the treatment of children and a society’s value system. Historically, children were considered the property of their families. Parents, particularly fathers, had the right to decide how a child was cared for and whether it lived or died. Many early societies practiced “infanticide” (the killing of infants and young children) as a form of population control. In some cultures, newborns were plunged into frigid water to test their ability to survive. Records from early 17th century England attest to the burial of infants murdered by drowning, burning and scaldingSome methods of discipline used in early western civilization today are viewed as cruel and abusive treatment. For example, many 18th century schoolmasters believed in the old English tradition of “education through pain” and whipped children regularly with leather straps called “flappers.” Discipline was severe in school and at home in the hope of transforming children into “God-fearing” individuals. Children often have been the victims of various forms of exploitation by adults, including “well-meaning” parents. Before child labor laws, many children became virtual slaves to apprentice-masters in return for room and board. During the Industrial Revolution, children entered the labor market at very young ages because their small bodies were suited for jobs such as chimney sweeps and mining. They also received less pay than adults did. Gradually, convents, churches and philanthropists began to lead efforts to protect children. Other concerned citizens became involved with the protection of children and the government passed child protection laws. In the United States today, all states have mandatory reporting laws requiring a variety of professionals, such as teachers, clergy and doctors, to report suspected child abuse and neglect. Despite strong government legislation, and a healthy change in this country’s attitude toward the treatment of children, some form of child abuse or neglect can be found in nearly every American neighborhood. Because of the many stresses suffered within society and the family, childcare experts believe that children today are at high risk to suffer emotional abuse or neglect. In turn, the effects of emotional abuse or neglect can seriously affect a child’s current and future life. What are the effects of emotional abuse or neglect on children? Are abused and neglected children always emotionally damaged? How can you help reduce the potentially damaging effects of emotional abuse and neglect on children? These and other important questions are addressed in this publication, written to help concerned adults create and maintain a healthy emotional environment for all children. Author: Waln K.

Social drinking refers to casual drinking in a social setting without an intent to get drunk. Social drinking plays an important (but not traditional) role in such social functions as dating, and marriage. For example, a person buying another a drink at a singles bar is a gesture that one is interested in the other and often initiates conversation, or at least flirtation. Bad news is often expressed through a drink, whilst good news is often celebrated by having a few drinks. Buying someone a drink is a gesture of goodwill, and can be used as an expression of gratitude or mark the resolution of a dispute - to bury the hatchet, so to say. The physical act of going to a comfortable setting with friends is a large part of sharing a drink in the above situations. This new and important book gathers the latest research from around the globe in the study of social drinking and discusses several topics such as: social drinking during pregnancy can lead to foetal alcohol spectrum disorder, social influence on adolescent alcohol use, behavioural strategies for reducing high-risk drinking among college students, and others.Hardcover: 340 pages Company: Nova Science Pub Inc (2009-10) ISBN: 160876219X List Price: $160.00 Amazon Price: $152.20 
Stress is one of the most commonly reported precipitants of drug use and is considered the number one cause of relapse to drug abuse. For the past several decades, there have been a number of significant advances in research focusing on the neurobiological and psychosocial aspects of stress and addiction; along with this growth came the recognition of the importance of understanding the interaction of biological and psychosocial factors that influence risk for initiation and maintenance of addictive behaviors. Recent research has started to specifically focus on understanding the nature of how stress contributes to addiction - this research has influenced the way we think about addiction and its etiological factors and has produced exciting possibilities for developing effective intervention strategies; to date there has been no available book to integrate this literature. This highly focused work integrates and consolidates available knowledge to provide a resource for researchers and practitioners and for trainees in multiple fields. It will help neuroscientists, social scientists, and mental health providers in addressing the role of stress in addictive behaviors; the volume is also useful as a reference book for those conducting research in this field. * Integrates theoretical and practical issues related to stress and addiction * Includes case studies illustrating where an emotional state and addictive behavior represent a prominent feature of the clinical presentation * Cross-disciplinary coverage with contributions by by scientists and practitioners from multiple fields, including psychology, neuroscience, neurobiology, and medicine Hardcover: 456 pages Company: Academic Press (2007-01-05) ISBN: 0123706327 List Price: $102.00 Amazon Price: $89.76 Used Price: $89.76 
The subject is emotional abuse—the ongoing process whereby one person attempts to destroy the will, needs, desires, or perceptions of another. The object is the well-educated, high-functioning professional woman.Dr. Joan Lachkar examines the origins and early warning signs of the psychological violation she describes as a dance between abuser and abused. She goes on to introduce typologies of each (the narcissistic or passive-aggressive abuser, the unentitled self) and to explore the bases for their collusive attachments. Addressing therapeutic functions like empathy, containment, and countertransference, and following a couple's evolution from a state of fusion through transitional two-ness to emerging separateness, dependent and interdependent, Dr. Lachkar applies her psychodynamic approach to treatment, informed by object relations and self psychology, and complete with guidelines for technique and practical suggestions for the couple.

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.

When most people hear the word “abuse,” they naturally conjure up images of broken bones, black eyes, and bruises. But in truth, physical violence comprises the vast minority of abusive behaviors in any relationship. The overwhelming types of abuses are those that are difficult to recognize: verbal, emotional, psychological, financial, and spiritual. Because no outward signs of mistreatment exist, these types of abuses usually go unnoticed, especially by the woman experiencing them. In particular, abusive comments often lead a woman in any unhealthy relationship to distrust her own reality and good sense. But He Never Hit Me: The Devastating Cost of Non-Physical Abuse to Girls and Women exposes the truth about these destructive behaviors and also reveals the red flags of a potentially abusive relationship. Women can explore their own background information to understand what led them to these men, the shocking costs that non-physically threatening relationships have on every part of their life, and ways in which they can make changes toward a more positive, healthy, and rewarding future. Imperative for women of all ages, from teens through senior citizens, But He Never Hit Me joins and aligns a large and supportive community of women dedicated to healthy, rewarding relationships.

Recent scandals of clergy sexual abuse have brought attention to the victims and their responses to and recovery from their abuse. But few have considered the effect of the abuse on a victim's soul and religious outlook and beliefs. Healing the Soul after Religious Abuse, offers a unique perspective of recovery and restoration of the soul after religious abuse. The author argues that religious abuse often stops not only psychological growth, but also inward development. The effect is not simply emotional, because the devastation reaches to the core of the spirit. Often there is no place for a God of love or a love of what once was divine. Through a series of personal interviews with persons from the five major religions, Rauch considers various ways that religion can do harm. The stories told in this book include the road to restoration in the wake of institutional abuse and how inner experience is sometimes confused with religious training; the sacred task of spiritual leadership and how to restore trust when there has been a violation; an exploration of sacrifice and a clarification of the notion of shame; a look at the impact of religious bigotry in the areas of race, sexuality, and tolerance; an overview of sexuality and the place it holds in both celibate and family life; the pernicious issue of clergy sexual abuse and the signs of spiritual trauma in response to such violation; a roadmap for restoration and a challenge to religious institutions; and, lastly, ways to reclaim the sacred and rewire the spirit. Through interviews, research, and personal stories, the author tells a story of recovery of the most delicate kind, offering pathways through the dark night of religious violation to a restoration of the soul and its immense possibilities.

From politics to sales, education, romance, and parenthood, everyone plays—wittingly or not—the roles of manipulator or manipulated. Thought Manipulation: The Use and Abuse of Psychological Trickery offers a thorough understanding of the art of manipulation, leading readers on a fascinating journey into the gray areas of ethics, politics, leadership, advertising, psychotherapy, and intimate relationships. The book explains how manipulation works, exploring morally questionable tricks, such as temptation, distraction, and misdirection and introducing manipulative strategies, both simple and sophisticated. At the same time, the author allows that manipulation is not always a bad thing as any effective change in decision-making and human behavior cannot be achieved without employing it to at least a certain degree. Manipulation operates in an infinite variety of guises and situations. Sapir Handelman explains how we can resist such effects, with a focus on ethics and freedom of choice.

Mental health and legal professionals struggle daily with complex challenges presented by allegations that a parent has sexually abused a child. The majority of these cases involve children who cannot or will not verbally disclose the abuse. This pioneering volume describes a technique that has proven highly effective for evaluation and clarification in such difficult, emotionally laden cases of child sexual abuse. This technique, the Kempe Interactional Assessment for Parent-Child Sexual Abuse, facilitates the emergence of reliable data without the pressure of directly questioning the child. Children Speak for Themselves About Sexual Abuse examines the history, rationale, protocol, and theoretical bases for Interactional Assessment and describes in detail the skills that are required and tasks that must be completed by the clinician in order to use International Assessment accurately and effectively. Firmly rooted in attachment theory, Interactional Assessment is based on the fact that even preverbal and nonverbal children do "speak" for themselves about experiences with important people in their lives. By accurately recognizing, understanding, and translating children's communication, this method makes available for clinical and legal professionals crucial, firsthand information that might otherwise be ignored. In this book, you'll learn how Interactional Assessment is comprised of three parts: a clinical interview with each parent in the presence of the child, videotaped observations of parent-child interactions, and an individual play interview with the child. Children Speak for Themselves About Sexual Abuse presents highly detailed case illustrations that demonstrate the various ways that children communicate their experiences of sexual abuse and provide insight into how sexually abusing relationships develop and are maintained within a family system. These case studies also clearly illustrate the value of Interactional Assessment where other techniques may not be effective particularly when allegations involve young children, children caught up in an acrimonious divorce, or when the "outcry" is filtered through untreated survivors. The volume also examines how Interactional Assessment can provide crucial clinical data about the qualities and dynamics of a family relationship that can reliably distinguish between sexually and non-sexually abusive relationships. Finally, the book addresses evidentiary and practical considerations for court presentations of utmost importance since professionals must not only offer evidence that is clinically reliable, but must be prepared to meet and withstand the rigors of increasingly adversarial legal proceedings. This volume will provide clinicians, attorneys, and other professionals involved in decision-making with a reliable clinical procedure that can not only easily reveal available data but can also help to uncover more covert information and verify whether abuse has occurred and by whom.Author: Clare Haynes-Seman, David Baumgarten Hardcover: 192 pages Company: Routledge (1994-11-01) ISBN: 0876307454 List Price: $44.95 Amazon Price: $1.74 Used Price: $0.87 
Psychological abuse can be as damaging to the psyche as physical abuse can be to the body, yet little is written about this common problem. This book confronts the issue of psychological abuse of women in marriage. Psychological abuse consists of an on-going pattern of domination, oppression, unrealistic expectations, verbal attacking or silent withdrawal within a relationship typically devoid of emotional connection. The author addresses the questions of how and why these women are abused, how the abuse starts and progresses, and in what ways does the process differ from that of physical abuse? Using quotes from survivors of these relationships, Dr. Chang describes life inside one of these relationships and gives treatment recommendations.Author: Valerie Nash Chang Hardcover: 184 pages Company: Praeger Publishers (1996-01-30) ISBN: 0275952096 List Price: $106.95 Amazon Price: $106.95 Used Price: $28.83

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.

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.

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. These words provided generations of American Christians with the justification for physically disciplining their children, in ways that range from spankings to brutal beatings. This learned and deeply disturbing work of history examines both the religious roots of corporal punishment in America and its consequences -- in the minds of children, in adults, and in our national tendencies toward authoritarian and apocalyptic thinking. Drawing on sources as old as Cotton Mather and as current as today's headlines, Spare the Child is one of those rare works of scholarship that have the power to change our lives.Author: Philip J.

Allegations of ritual abuse are universal and mental health professionals, theologians, law enforcers, scholars, victim advocates, and others struggle to comprehend the enormity of the devastation left in the wake of these heinous acts. Ritual Abuse in the Twenty-first Century addresses the concerns that naturally evolve from any discussion of this phenomenon from the perspectives of professionals, advocates, and survivors from around the world (eight countries, seven states in the U.S.) * How valid are the survivors' stories? * Is there evidence? * What are the consequences of these acts to the individual and society? * Why have these allegations been ignored or discredited whenever they have surfaced? The authors of these chapters respond to these and other questions in an effort to illustrate the constellation of psychological, health, legal, criminal, societal, and spiritual ramifications of ritual abuse. Chapters address current issues including ritually based crime, civil suits involving allegations of ritual abuse, that are universal. The value of understanding ritual trauma for diagnostic and treatment applications is discussed.Author: Randy Noblitt, Pamela Perskin Noblitt Paperback: 550 pages Company: Robert Reed Publishers (2008-09-09) ISBN: 1934759120 List Price: $39.95 Amazon Price: $30.66 Used Price: $19.97 
Here is the promise: You will never look at a parent, a child…yourself….the same way after reading “The Unloved”. Using contemporary, multi-disciplinary research, author T. M. Dracos, tells the controversial story of how the human personality is deformed by emotional abuse. The surpassing levels of needless suffering – both physical and mental – that the victims of unlove must endure are documented in meticulous detail in both vignettes, profiles and case studies – people from soul-singer James Brown to JFK – from the ancient Athenians to modern mothers who murder their children. Not only do we come to understand the special pain of the unloved – we learn what the pervasive consequences of abuse are for all of us. “The Unloved” is a book of original insight and understanding – and a call to arms to become conscious of, and then overcome, perhaps the most pernicious human psychological force there is.

The subject is emotional abuse—the ongoing process whereby one person attempts to destroy the will, needs, desires, or perceptions of another. The object is the well-educated, high-functioning professional woman.Dr. Joan Lachkar examines the origins and early warning signs of the psychological violation she describes as a dance between abuser and abused. She goes on to introduce typologies of each (the narcissistic or passive-aggressive abuser, the unentitled self) and to explore the bases for their collusive attachments. Addressing therapeutic functions like empathy, containment, and countertransference, and following a couple's evolution from a state of fusion through transitional two-ness to emerging separateness, dependent and interdependent, Dr. Lachkar applies her psychodynamic approach to treatment, informed by object relations and self psychology, and complete with guidelines for technique and practical suggestions for the couple.

This pioneering self-help book takes a close look at a topic that has been ignored or downplayed by other books on incest and childhood sexual abuse: that the non-perpetrating parent usually bears a great deal of responsibility for the child's abuse. In this examination of the complicated dynamics of abuse, the enabling mother is not treated as a victim, rather as an adult responsible for her failure to protect her child. Self-help exercises are interspersed with case histories and analytical material throughout the book, useful to both survivors and therapists.

Why Is He So Mean to Me? offers a sobering look at verbal and emotional abuse and the confusing, chaotic and debilitating dynamic of the enabler-abuser relationship. It unveils many of the tactics used by the verbal/emotional abuser, the enabler-victim's ever-unsuccessful attempts to understand and earn love from her abuser, and the opposing forces at work within the abusive relationship. Without change, the relationship will continue to spiral toward collapse from the weight of the insanity, or every member of the family will suffer and carry the wounds and behaviors of this devastating lifestyle into the next generation. There is never an excuse for abuse. The enabler must learn the truth, and equip himself or herself in order to make the hard choices necessary for change and restoration.

Everyday capable, hardworking, committed employees suffer emotional abuse at their workplace. Some flee from jobs they love, forced out by mean-spirited co-workers, subordinates or superiors -- often with the tacit approval of higher management. The authors, Dr. Noa Davenport, Ruth Distler Schwartz, and Gail Pursell Elliott have written a book for every employee and manager in America. The book deals with what has become a household word in Europe: Mobbing. Mobbing is a "ganging up" by several individuals, to force someone out of the workplace through rumor, innuendo, intimidation, discrediting, and particularly, humiliation. Mobbing is a serious form of nonsexual, nonracial harassment. It has been legally described as status-blind harassment. Mobbing affects the mental and physical health of victims. It extracts staggering costs from victims, their families, and from organizations. With this new book, Mobbing: Emotional Abuse in the American Workplace, there is a name for the problem and help for the victims. The book helps readers to understand what mobbing is, why it occurs, how it affects a victim and organizations, and what people can so. The authors have interviewed victims from across the U.S. and the book contains many quotes that poignantly illustrate the gravity of the mobbing experience. An overview of the literature and research is provided as well as many practical strategies to help the victims, managers, healthcare and legal professionals. Original drawings by Sabra Vidali express the depth of the experience and enhance the authors' work. 
Those who have never experienced an abusive or violent relationship often believe that upon finding a way out, victims’ difficulties are solved: their life is good, they are safe, and recovery will be swift.

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.

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.

From the earliest years of his marriage, Paul Hegstrom handled his problems and frustrations the only way he knew how: with fists and fury. Talking about the problem only intensified his rage. Going into the Christian ministry didn’t help either, the guilt merely magnified his despair. Facing a charge of attempted murder and a prison term, Hegstrom got the wake-up call he needed. With professional help and an intense struggle with spiritual issues, he began the lengthy process of healing and recovery.Through a fascinating, yet thorough examination of the psychological components of various types of abuse, along with true examples from his own life and others, Hegstrom points the way back to wholeness and freedom. An invaluable aid for the man who batters, the woman who feels trapped, and the pastor, counselor, or friend who desperately wants to help them both, Angry Men and the Women Who Love Them offers straight answers for those willing to overcome the cycle of violence. The revised and updated edition includes a new chapter that discusses the physiological and psychological changes in the brain when abuse occurs.Author: Paul Hegstrom Paperback: 152 pages Company: Beacon Hill Press of Kansas City (2004-05-28) ISBN: 0834121522 List Price: $13.99 Amazon Price: $6.45 Used Price: $7.37

The Box of Daughter is an inspiring true story of the author's journey of healing after five decades of emotional abuse. Her parents were fine, upstanding citizens in a large suburban community, devout church members who volunteered and gave generously of their time, treasure, and talent, and took their frustrations out on their children by bullying them behind closed doors, just as their parents had done to them.Criticized and belittled from an early age, the author became the perfect "Good Little Girl" who always obeyed and tried to give her parents everything they wanted, as she forced her real self into unconscious hiding. Not knowing her family was dysfunctional, she thought she was defective and unlovable. When she was four, she witnessed violence in her family, and became afraid that if she ever disobeyed her parents, she would be killed. As the author grew into adulthood, her parents used her to meet their own emotional needs, a situation that psychologists call "emotional incest." She entered therapy and began to understand that her low self-esteem was the result of the way her parents treated her. In her forties, she acted as caregiver for her parents as they aged, still enduring their abuse and trying her best to make them happy. In the last eight months of her father's life, she lost weight at an alarming rate in spite of eating a normal, healthy diet. No medical cause was ever found, and she was emaciated by the time her father passed away at 93. Free of the abuse at last, she set foot on an exhilarating journey of physical and emotional healing: unearthing her authentic self, expressing her grief and rage, and finally creating a life that is truly her own. The Box of Daughter demonstrates that it is possible to heal the pain of abuse and move on into a more rewarding life.

"If you really loved me..." "After all I've done for you..." "How can you be so selfish..." Do any of the above sound familiar? They're all examples of emotional blackmail, a powerful form of manipulation in which people close to us threaten to punish us for not doing what they want. Emotional blackmailers know how much we value our relationships with them. They know our vulnerabilities and our deepest secrets. They are our mothers, our partners, our bosses and coworkers, our friends and our lovers. And no matter how much they care about us, they use this intimate knowledge to give themselves the payoff they want: our compliance. Susan Forward knows what pushes our hot buttons. Just as John Gray illuminates the communications gap between the sexes in Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, and Harriet Lerner describes an intricate dynamic in The Dance of Anger, so Susan Forward presents the anatomy of a relationship damaged by manipulation, and gives readers an arsenal of tools to fight back. In her clear, no-nonsense style, Forward provides powerful, practical strategies for blackmail targets, including checklists, practice scenarios and concrete communications techniques that will strengthen relationships and break the blackmail cycle for good.

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.

The traumatic affects of childhood sexual abuse can remain and recur throughout life for women who have not healed emotionally. This book by a family therapist shares stories from 18 women abused as children, explaining that healing can occur at any stage of life, and that healing, itself, occurs in stages.

Also presented are letters from women who have healed or are in recovery. Sexual abuse by men, juveniles, and female perpetrators is discussed, as is how children may act out the abusive behavior taught by perpetrators. The incidence of abuse by family members is also addressed. Duncan explains the dual dilemma—moral and legal—that women face in exposing a sexual perpetrator within the family when not protected by the legal system due to statutes of limitations.

Everyday capable, hardworking, committed employees suffer emotional abuse at their workplace. Some flee from jobs they love, forced out by mean-spirited co-workers, subordinates or superiors -- often with the tacit approval of higher management. The authors, Dr. Noa Davenport, Ruth Distler Schwartz, and Gail Pursell Elliott have written a book for every employee and manager in America. The book deals with what has become a household word in Europe: Mobbing. Mobbing is a "ganging up" by several individuals, to force someone out of the workplace through rumor, innuendo, intimidation, discrediting, and particularly, humiliation. Mobbing is a serious form of nonsexual, nonracial harassment. It has been legally described as status-blind harassment. Mobbing affects the mental and physical health of victims. It extracts staggering costs from victims, their families, and from organizations. With this new book, Mobbing: Emotional Abuse in the American Workplace, there is a name for the problem and help for the victims. The book helps readers to understand what mobbing is, why it occurs, how it affects a victim and organizations, and what people can so. The authors have interviewed victims from across the U.S. and the book contains many quotes that poignantly illustrate the gravity of the mobbing experience. An overview of the literature and research is provided as well as many practical strategies to help the victims, managers, healthcare and legal professionals. Original drawings by Sabra Vidali express the depth of the experience and enhance the authors' work. 
Are you a victim of Spiritual Abuse? Are you discouraged from questioning the decisions or teachings church leaders make? If you do little or no volunteer work for the church, do you feel like a second-class Christian? Does your pastor insist on being addressed by a title such as "Dr." or "Pastor"? Do you hear many broad, vague appeals to "surrender fully," "yield completely" or "lay it all on the altar"? Are public reports about various ministry activities sometimes exaggerated? Do church members feel safe talking only about past victories, not present struggles? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be a victim of spiritual abuse. Many of us have gone through bad church experiences that have left us feeling like failures. Blaming ourselves, we asked for God's forgiveness, but felt distant from the church and sometimes from God too. Often, however, the fault is not ours but that of Christian leaders who abuse spiritually. How can we recognize the signs of spiritual abuse? What can we do to gain healing from the wounds we have experienced? With clarity and refreshing honesty, Ken Blue answers these questions and offers hope and healing to the victims of spiritual abuse. In addition he shows Christian leaders how to avoid abusive patterns and instead offer Christ's gospel of grace to every casualty of bad church experiences.Author: Ken Blue Paperback: 166 pages Company: IVP Books (1993-09-10) ISBN: 0830816607 List Price: $16.00 Amazon Price: $4.29 Used Price: $0.38

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. These words provided generations of American Christians with the justification for physically disciplining their children, in ways that range from spankings to brutal beatings. This learned and deeply disturbing work of history examines both the religious roots of corporal punishment in America and its consequences -- in the minds of children, in adults, and in our national tendencies toward authoritarian and apocalyptic thinking. Drawing on sources as old as Cotton Mather and as current as today's headlines, Spare the Child is one of those rare works of scholarship that have the power to change our lives.Author: Philip J.

"A beacon of hope for women and men who fear that they will pass the abuse they have suffered on to their children, partners, or employees. Humane and compassionate but also clear and down to earth, this is a wonderful contribution to the literature on healing."--Lundy Bancroft, author of When Dad Hurts Mom and Why Does He Do That? "In this remarkably powerful, wise, and compassionate book, Beverly Engel leads readers step by step through a program that will help survivors of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse in childhood to heal from their wounds so they don't need to re-enact their abusive pasts. She offers expert advice and strategies to help parents and would-be parents avoid doing to their children what was done to them and helps both abusers and victims in emotionally and physically abusive relationships make vitally important changes in their relationships." --Susan Forward, Ph.D., author of Toxic Parents and Emotional Blackmail If you were emotionally, physically, or sexually abused as a child or adolescent, or if you experienced neglect or abandonment, it isn't a question of whether you will continue the cycle of abuse but rather a question of how--whether you will become an abuser or continue to be a victim. In this breakthrough book, Beverly Engel, a leading expert on emotional and sexual abuse, explains how to stop the cycle of abuse once and for all. Her step-by-step program provides the necessary skills for gaining control over emotions, changing negative attitudes, learning healthy ways of communicating, healing the damage from prior abuse, and seeking out support. Throughout, Engel shares many dramatic personal stories including her own experiences with abusive behavior. Breaking the Cycle of Abuse gives you the power to shatter abusive patterns for good and offers a legacy of hope and healing for you and your family.

David Lynch peeks behind the picket fences of small-town America to reveal a corrupt shadow world of malevolence, sadism, and madness. From the opening shots Lynch turns the Technicolor picture postcard images of middle class homes and tree-lined lanes into a dreamy vision on the edge of nightmare. After his father collapses in a preternaturally eerie sequence, college boy Kyle MacLachlan returns home and stumbles across a severed human ear in a vacant lot. With the help of sweetly innocent high school girl (Laura Dern), he turns junior detective and uncovers a frightening yet darkly compelling world of voyeurism and sex. Drawn deeper into the brutal world of drug dealer and blackmailer Frank, played with raving mania by an obscenity-shouting Dennis Hopper in a career-reviving performance, he loses his innocence and his moral bearings when confronted with pure, unexplainable evil. Isabella Rossellini is terrifyingly desperate as Hopper's sexual slave who becomes MacLachlan's illicit lover, and Dean Stockwell purrs through his role as Hopper's oh-so-suave buddy. Lynch strips his surreally mundane sets to a ghostly austerity, which composer Angelo Badalamenti encourages with the smooth, spooky strains of a lush score. Blue Velvet is a disturbing film that delves into the darkest reaches of psycho-sexual brutality and simply isn't for everyone. But for a viewer who wants to see the cinematic world rocked off its foundations, David Lynch delivers a nightmarish masterpiece. --Sean AxmakerDVD: Anamorphic, Closed-captioned, Color, DVD, NTSC Company: MGM (Video & DVD) (2000-04-25) ISBN: 0792844793 List Price: $14.98 Amazon Price: $5.55 Used Price: $3.05 
A word of advice: If George (Richard Burton) and Martha (Elizabeth Taylor) ever ask you over for late-night cocktails--pass. On the other hand, if you have the opportunity to see Mike Nichols's scorching film version of Edward Albee's sensational play, don't miss it! Elegantly photographed in crisp black and white by the great Haskell Wexler, the play has been "opened up" for the screen by director Nichols (The Graduate, Primary Colors) and producer-writer Ernest Lehman (North by Northwest) without diluting its concentrated, claustrophobic power. Taylor has never been better or brasher as Martha, letting loose with all the fury of a drunken, frustrated academic's wife on one crazy Walpurgisnacht bender. Burton plays her husband, George, the ineffectual history prof married to the college president's daughter. And George Segal and Sandy Dennis are young, callow Nick and Honey, who have no idea what sort of mind-warping psychological games they're being drawn into. Among the most successful theatrical adaptations (artistically and popularly) ever brought to the screen. The entire principal cast was nominated for Oscars--and Taylor, Dennis, and cinematographer Wexler won. --Jim EmersonDirector: Mike Nichols DVD: Black & White, Closed-captioned, DVD, Full Screen, Letterboxed, Widescreen, NTSC Company: Warner Home Video (1997-10-01) ISBN: 0790732254 List Price: $19.98 Amazon Price: $6.30 Used Price: $3.56 
Treating the mind is a tricky thing to do. Psychiatric practices have evolved with new understanding of the mind and the development of science. "Psychiatry Treatment," explores the history of psychiatric facilities and the consequent cruel treatment of patients in them, and how the government once viewed stress disorders. It showcases the mind as an evolving, complex, part of the human body susceptible to damage, pain, and even more complex disorders. Outdated treatment practices are shown and serve as a contrast to the reactions of doctors in today's field of mental health. Table of Contents: (1) The responsibilities, demands, and treatment of stress, falls directly under the operation of the Battalion medical officer. "Combat psychiatry - The Battalion Medical Officer," dissects treatment of stress and the role of the medical officer, with an emphasis on preventing manpower losses in a time of war.

Treatments they have undergone have often been cruel and alarmingly inhumane. "Restoration of Sanity," is a promise of better treatment and understanding, with the patients being viewed as humans with real problems and maladies. The history of psychology and psychiatry build upon the various mental health diseases presented and their consequent treatments.

With a nasty villain and a plot twist that will take many viewers by surprise, Derailed is the kind of potboiler that's enjoyable in spite of its flaws. It's basically two-thirds of a good movie, with a convincing set-up and a barely plausible payoff that... well, you've just got to see it and decide for yourself. Like Fatal Attraction, it's a good-enough thriller that turns infidelity into every man's nightmare, beginning when Charles (Clive Owen), a well-to-do Chicago advertising director with a sickly, diabetic daughter and a slightly troubled marriage, has a chance encounter with Lucinda (Jennifer Aniston), a lovely and quick-witted financial advisor who's also stuck in a marital rut. Their chemistry is instant (between both characters and stars), but their eventual hotel tryst is interrupted by a mugger (French actor Vincent Cassel at his vile, despicable best) who's out to milk Charles for every dollar he's got. Of course, one phone call to the police would solve everyone's problems, but as he did with Collateral (albeit more convincingly), screenwriter Stuart Beattie turns up the tension with such manipulative skill that you're willing to skate past the plot holes and go along for the ride. With lively supporting performances by rappers Xzibit and RZA, Derailed marks a commercially slick American debut for Swedish director Mikael Håfström, whose 2003 thriller Evil was a Best Foreign Film Oscar®-nominee. --Jeff ShannonDirector: Mikael Håfström HD DVD: Closed-captioned, Color, Widescreen Company: Weinstein Company, The (2006-12-19) List Price: $12.97 Amazon Price: $6.99 Used Price: $3.66

This 1971 film, produced by UCLA's Extension Media Center for the National Institute of Mental Health, attempts to navigate the turbulent social waters of hippie culture, focusing on drug usage, alternative lifestyles, and common stereotypes of the time. The film gives an unbiased overview of the challenges faced by children of the '60's, who had to deal with a confusing array of social unrest, moral uncertainty, and changing lifestyles. It follows the story of a man in his thirties who has lost control of his life, and that of his family, while living the "hippie" lifestyle. Classic 70's lingo is also discussed, and terms such as "hardhat," "square," and "hippie" are defined.
