When Violence Begins at Home by Kj Wilson
The first edition of this handbook provided thousands of abuse victims and helping professionals with guidance on everything from indicators of an abusive relationship to domestic violence legislation. Dr. Wilson encouraged battered women to take control of their lives and provided them with the tools to do so. This updated edition adds new information on: the parenting behaviours of batterers; date rape drugs; teen sexual assault; cyber-stalking; pregnancy and domestic violence; and, the effectiveness of batterer intervention programmes. Two new chapters devote attention to domestic violence in the military and to the challenges and rewards of those who work with battered women and their children.
