Shattered Glass: From Victim to Survivor
by Victoria Court
“I heard an advert on the radio as I was driving
home from work. I'd never heard it before, but as it started
I knew the ending, and it helped to set me on my journey to
get help. Help that was to change my whole life. The advert
went something like this ‘For thousands of women in
Britain today, this is the most frightening sound they will
hear’. I immediately knew that that sound would be the
sound of keys turning in the lock...” |

Living with the Devil
by Amy Norman
"My goals for writing Dancing with the Devil were

I also wanted to reach those who don't understand it at all
and hopefully wipe out some of the myths that still exist
in the minds of so many." Amy Norman, Author.

Nightmares Echo

Even as a young girl she knew she was different, knew she
had secrets that must be hidden from view. This story delves
into the mind of a child as she grows into womanhood, as she
learns to live with and deal with sexual abuse from the hands
of her Father.. but more importantly, this story is about
courage and perseverance. This is where this book comes from..
the deepest region of the pain. To unlock it and let it rear
it's ugly head...and to find the others out there.. who haven't
yet allowed the demon/demons to escape. This is a story, not
unlike many, of sexual abuse, any abuse...but not just the
abuse.. but the aftermath, the hiding within the soul, the
countless stories you tell yourself and the struggles through
life and love that you must challenge when as a young person
you already have a "Monkey on your Back". |

Forgiveness and Abuse: Jewish and Christian
Reflections
edited by Marie M. Fortune and Joretta L. Marshall
Forgiveness is an essential concept for many survivors of
abuse as well as the perpetrators. Some believe that urging
victims to simply forgive and forget in the face of such harsh
realities may not be practical and could actually endanger
the healing process. Forgiveness and Abuse studies several
aspects of the spiritual influence in forgiving and vindicating
abusive crimes, including traditional views of forgiveness
and repentance and the use of a clinical study examining the
relationship between forgiveness and mental health as well
as comparing Christian and Jewish responses to a questionnaire
regarding forgiveness. |

Abused men: The hidden side of domestic violence
by P Cook
The author examines domestic violence perpetrated by women
on men, arguing that the statistics show that women are every

Male Victims of Sexual Assault
edited by Gillian C. Mezey and Michael B. King
In discussions on sexual assault, men are usually portrayed
as the perpetrators; it is rarely appreciated that men are
themselves often victims of sexual abuse. Reasons for this
misconception include: the male stereotype as physically strong
and sexually dominant; the erroneous belief that assaults
are motivated by sexual need rather than by aggression; and
English law's less serious attitude towards sexual assualts
on men than towards those on women. Although male victims
feel that the violence and humiliation suffered during a sexual
attack threatens their personal and physical integrity, in
much the same way as women feel, there are also differences
in their experience of the assault and in their response to
it. |

Young Voice offer their newest book, which illuminates the
dark side of domestic life. In words and drawings children
communicate a world of pain and hope.
One in four women will suffer domestic violence at some point
in their lives. Every year about 150 people are killed by
a current or former partner, and domestic violence affects
the lives of thousands more. But no-one has counted the children

through this experience provide a striking testimony of how
vital it is to act to stop this. They want violence to be
addressed in schools and youth services, they want an improved
response to their shocking childhoods. |

No More Secrets: Violence in Lesbian Relationships
by Janice Ristock
Myths: Violence is a male biological trait. When women fight,
no one gets seriously hurt. Lesbians don't abuse their spouses.
The truth revealed in Janice Ristock's groundbreaking book
is that lesbian relationships sometimes do turn violent. Based
on interviews with more than one hundred lesbians who have
suffered abuse and seventy-five case workers, No More Secrets
is the first in-depth account of this startling phenomenon.
Although one in four gay and lesbian couples are affected
by domestic violence, the problem has remained hidden for
several reasons. By giving voice to the victims, Ristock helps
women to address violence by breaking silences, sharing secrets,
and naming the forms of abuse. |

Breaking Down the Wall of Silence: The Liberating
Experience of Facing Painful Truth
by Alice Miller & Simon Worrall
The culture that ignores roots of hatred and tyranny embedded
in its own childrearing traditions, warns Miller, renders
itself ripe for payback. Her analyses of the likes of Hitler
and Nicolae Ceausescu lend epic significance to her point.
Her disclosure of her own abuse gives her plea for truth a
potent intimacy that brings the issue home to us all. She
calls on society at large to condemn poisonous methods of
discipline and, with the eloquence of a survivor, points the
way to a liberating awareness for victims whose past still
exerts a devastating grip. Softcover. |

Boundaries
by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend
Addresses specific issues that confront today's Christians.
A boundary is a personal property line that marks those things
for which we are responsible. In other words, boundaries define
who we are and who we are not. They impact all areas of our
lives:
-- Physical boundaries help us determine who may
touch us and under what circumstances.
-- Mental boundaries give us the freedom to have
our own thoughts and opinions.
-- Emotional boundaries help us deal with our own
emotions and disengage from the harmful, manipulative emotions
of others.
-- Spiritual boundaries help us to distinguish God's
will from our own and give us renewed awe for our Creator. |

Trauma Through a Child's Eyes: Awakening the
Ordinary Miracle of Healing (Paperback)
by Peter Levine (Author)
Peter Levine's work in trauma is grounded in medical biophysics,
psychophysiology and psychology, as well as his own innovative
research into the instinctual behaviour of wild animals. Over
the past 35 years, he has developed and refined a method called
Somatic Experiencing (SE), which provides the foundation for
this guide to dealing with trauma in children. At the core
of this book is the understanding that trauma begets violence,
and violence begets trauma. The effects of trauma can result
not only from catastrophic events such as abuse and violence
but from everyday, common incidents such as minor auto accidents,
routine medical procedures, family stresses, even something
as seemingly innocent as falling off a bicycle. "Trauma
Through a Child's Eyes" offers a hopeful alternative
to children acting "in" (on themselves) or "out"
(on others) in response to pain and injury. Most children
possess an innate natural resiliency, and Levine explains
how adults can help them tap into and strengthen that resiliency
to resolve the effects of trauma and cope successfully with
future harmful situations. |

Women Caught in the Conflict: The Culture
War between Traditionalism and Feminism
by Rebecca Merrill Groothuis
The strength of Groothuis‘ unique contribution in
this book is that she puts the present gender debate into
a richer and deeper context of history, culture, and logic.
Although she does not here present a complete case for biblical
equality (this she does in her second book,Good News for Women:
A Biblical Picture of Gender Equality), she does make distinctions
and develop arguments that help clarify a debate that is often
clouded by name-calling, ignorance, and illogic. |

Social Work, Domestic Violence and Child Protection:
Challenging Practice
by Catherine Humphries
The responses of social services to child abuse arising in
the context of domestic violence remain some of the most contentious
and controversial in this area. This report explores the problems
and opportunities presented for child protection workers responding
to child abuse that occurred in the context of violence towards
the child(ren)'s mother. This particular aspect of domestic
violence intervention is frequently overlooked as issues such
as policing, child contact, interagency working and offender
programmes have gained precedence in the development of intervention
strategies. The report recognizes the difficulties of developing
sensitive child welfare practice in an area where there has
been a traditional separation of services for women and services
for children, and provides good practice examples for overcoming
the traditional difficulties in this area |
