This book examines the world of the abused and the abuser while
providing information on treatment, education, and prevention. A
survey of the history of abuse reveals its roots in ancient laws
and religions and its pervasiveness in all societies. Myths,
statistics, and the effects of domestic violence on children are
explored, as are the legal cases and court actions that have
shaped the movement to end violence in the home. A
state-by-state directory of agencies and organizations and a
review of the programs available to both the victim and the
abuser provide immediate referral for those seeking help for
themselves or others. |
