This book was released on 1992-08-15 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book spells out in practical, concrete terms what it really means to place the pathology outside the battered woman. The novelty in this approach lies in the implications for practice: battered women are not ìsickî ñ they are in a ìsickî situation. ìÖPractical and comprehensive, an excellent guide for clinicians and other intervenersÖ. Mary Ann Duttonís book, Empowering and Healing the Battered Woman, integrates psychological theory with detailed information on the real-life dimensions of abused womenís posttraumatic responses and the strategies for assessment that form a part of each chapter are particularly valuableÖ. Duttonís approach of understanding womenís experiences of violence in context and of empowering abused women will also serve to empower ñ and free ñ those providing services to women victims of partner violence.î - Angela Browne, PhD, University of Massachusetts Medical School (Author, When Battered Women Kill) ìDrawing upon her vast clinical, academic, and forensic background, Mary Ann Dutton shows us that women experience abuse in many different ways and employ a wide range of techniques to survive the abuse. She then offers numerous suggestions for working with battered women, all predicted on ethical, feminist principles. Although geared toward clinicians, this book is a great resource for battered womenís advocate, law enforcement officials, and attorneys ñ for anyone who comes into contact with battered women.î - Sue Osthoff, Director, National Clearinghouse for the Defense of Battered Women ìFinally, a book on battered women that shelter workers can recommend to traditionally trained therapists. Dutton provides a conceptual framework for understanding the differing needs of battered women: support, advocacy, and healing. Not all battered women are the same. Dutton details both the assessment processes and therapeutic approaches that acknowledge those differences.î - Anne L. Ganley, PhD, Domestic Violence Program, Seattle V.A. Medical Center

Download or read book Violence in Families written by Committee on the Assessment of Family Violence Interventions and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-02-27 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reports of mistreated children, domestic violence, and abuse of elderly persons continue to strain the capacity of police, courts, social services agencies, and medical centers. At the same time, myriad treatment and prevention programs are providing services to victims and offenders. Although limited research knowledge exists regarding the effectiveness of these programs, such information is often scattered, inaccessible, and difficult to obtain. Violence in Families takes the first hard look at the successes and failures of family violence interventions. It offers recommendations to guide services, programs, policy, and research on victim support and assistance, treatments and penalties for offenders, and law enforcement. Included is an analysis of more than 100 evaluation studies on the outcomes of different kinds of programs and services. Violence in Families provides the most comprehensive review on the topic to date. It explores the scope and complexity of family violence, including identification of the multiple types of victims and offenders, who require different approaches to intervention. The book outlines new strategies that offer promising approaches for service providers and researchers and for improving the evaluation of prevention and treatment services. Violence in Families discusses issues that underlie all types of family violence, such as the tension between family support and the protection of children, risk factors that contribute to violent behavior in families, and the balance between family privacy and community interventions. The core of the book is a research-based review of interventions used in three institutional sectors--social services, health, and law enforcement settings--and how to measure their effectiveness in combating maltreatment of children, domestic violence, and abuse of the elderly. Among the questions explored by the committee: Does the child protective services system work? Does the threat of arrest deter batterers? The volume discusses the strength of the evidence and highlights emerging links among interventions in different institutional settings. Thorough, readable, and well organized, Violence in Families synthesizes what is known and outlines what needs to be discovered. This volume will be of great interest to policymakers, social services providers, health care professionals, police and court officials, victim advocates, researchers, and concerned individuals.
