Product description...

How does Domestic Violence effect victims? Is recovery even possible for victims and their abusive partners?

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) accounts for 15% of all violent crime in the U.S, with women being victimized in the majority of cases. Nearly 20 people per minute in the U.S. are physically abused by a partner. Most domestic violence is never reported. Many injuries are never treated. While physical injuries from domestic violence heal, psychological problems caused by domestic abuse can affect victims for months, years or even for life. The common public presumption for victims is “why don’t they just leave?” But what if the victim has children with an abusive partner? What if she lacks the resources to live on her own? What if she loves her violent partner? What if she is scared to death? This book provides clinical observation, insight, and recommendations to help increase personal safety and decrease abuse and violence. When you read this book, you will gain insight into the behavior of abusers, common dynamics evident in violent relationships, how people heal, and if change is possible. Family violence and effects on children will also be explored. Some institutions that work with IPV will be discussed in order to address strengths and challenges addressing this social problem that destroys lives.
