This book is a comprehensive guide to recognizing and dealing with domestic abuse and violence. It outlines the different types and stages of abuse, and provides information on how to change such relationships or escape from them.
Read this in preparation of taking my domestic violence professional exam in Illinois - I am a counselor at a DV shelter. One of the best books on the topic. Great overview as well as check lists to help readers with gaining personal insight. I refer to this book almost daily - my copy is kept on my work desk. I often use the check lists with clients.
