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...” |

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.

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. |

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. |

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

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.

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

Domestic Violence and Child Protection: Directions
for Good Practice
edited by Catherine Humphreys and Nicky Stanley
How do you respond simultaneously to the needs of adults experiencing
domestic violence and the specific needs of their children?
"Domestic Violence and Child Protection" explores
the challenges of working effectively in this complex field
and offers positive models for practice. Individual chapters
address child abduction, legal issues concerning child contact
arrangements, and dealing with abuse in the context of divorce.
Including perspectives from social services, health services
and the voluntary sector, this book is a valuable source of
information and ideas on how to work safely and sensitively
with children living with domestic violence and will be a key
reference for social workers, health professionals and policy
makers. |
