    “This is a valuable book to alert parents and therapists to the pain that children go through after witnessing violence.” —T. Berry Brazelton, M.D.

    In Children Who See Too Much, Betsy Groves debunks the myth that young age is a protector against the lasting effects of witnessing violence in the home. She makes the powerful case that traumatic events carried out by family members carry the most severe psychological risks for very young children and uses the newest cognitive research to explore how very young children process violence.

    Groves draws upon the Child Witness to Violence Program’s award-winning training programs for parents, teachers, police officers, clergy, and pediatric health care providers to lay out ways adults can understand and protect the very young children—all around us—who see too much.

    “Groves provides six practical steps that will help parents create a safer world, regardless of neighborhood or ... more

    Author: Edited by Mary M. Cavanaugh, Richard J. Gelles, Donileen R. Loseke

    The study of family violence is surrounded by a myriad of controversies. Experts in this field do not agree about what should both be studied and what should be condemned (Is spanking violence? Is women's violence toward men a major social problem? If it is, how should it be measured? What, specifically, should be condemned as date rape?)

    Experts also disagree about the causes of violence (Individual pathology? The structure of gender or families?), as well as about what should be done to eliminate it (Do child sexual abuse education programs or family preservation programs work?).

    Now in its Second Edition, Current Controversies on Family Violence highlights the most current controversies, research, and policy directions in the family violence issue. This volume includes chapters by academic and public policy researchers, therapists, lawyers, victim advocates and educators.

"Erased" reexamines the Peterson case and explores more than 50 others fascinating and notorious killings that fit this new psychological and criminal profile and exposes how easy it can be to get away with murder.

    While domestic violence pervades our society, it is still an issue very much shrouded in secrecy and silence.

    Recounting the stories of women who left abusive partners, the authors ask: What kind of woman gets into an abusive relationship? Why does she stay after he hurts her? Why does she often go back after she does get away? And, how does she finally get out for good? Illuminating and powerful, "Getting Out" disputes society's stereotype of the abused woman. With government statistics and an analysis of the psychology of abuse, this book breaks the silence that has long surrounded domestic violence. The women who share their life stories do so in the hope that they will offer support to those in the process of finding the courage and resources to leave violent men.
