You can change the negative impacts, heal the psychological, spiritual, and emotional wounds. You can mend the heart, heal the physical body, and ultimately free the psyche. When you heal, your family heals; when your family heals, your children and their children heal. Family violence is intergenerational, and peace begins when you say yes to peace. The violence stops when you have the courage to say yes to peace. Poetry is a tool; healing and restorative poetry is a creative art.

Stop Domestic Violence by Louis Brown,Merritt McKeon,François Duau Pdf

Thanks to the Simpson case, domestic violence is no longer a dirty little secret. It remains, however, a devastating problem, and even more, a deadly killer. What is the answer? In 1994, Lou Brown, father of Nicole Brown Simpson, gave us one solution by establishing a foundation in his daughter's name that provides urgently needed funding to battered women's shelters across the country. Now he goes a step further, and with the help of a like-minded pastor and a legal activist who has been battered, offers hope and practical strategies for combating domestic violence. In a book whose first half is geared to support network people like himself--parents, families, friends, both personal and professional, and acquaintances who can and should make a difference--and whose second half is directed at the victims of abuse, here is an action plan for battered women and those around them. Stop Domestic Violence offers a checklist for the victim of domestic violence, from obtaining restraining orders to getting the support network on her side. Here are steps on how to combat battering within families, within communities, within homes and at the legislative level. For Concerned Friends and Family: - What makes these men do it, and is there a cure for them? - Why do women stay? - What can I do to help a battered woman? And for the Victim--How do I: - Get stronger on the inside? - Deal with the legal system? - Stay sane in a shelter? - Stay save and begin recovery? This is a how-to book--practical, easy to use--and it just might save a life.

Peace After the Storm by Jossine Abrahams Pdf

This book is about the author's personal journey and about challenges of being a woman in a judgmental society. It is also about society treating women like chattels, like pieces of furniture. The author seeks to reach out to those women who experienced struggles in society and in marriage. Many women, young and old, suffer because they feel rejected. The author wants to encourage them to realise that there is life after problems. They can thrive against all odds. The wish is for people to understand that if they face problems, they should not give up. Every cloud has a silver lining.The message to women is, "Do not allow situations to take over and dictate which way you go. Keep fighting until you win the battle. We have what it takes within us to come out at the other end, feeling stronger and more equipped." Humans always adjust. Just do not short-change yourself. In today's world, one has to hustle in order to survive. It is not an easy life out there.We live in a world where we have good people and bad people. However, one has to keep their faith intact and seek their strength from their divine source. This is the message the author wishes to convey in her book, Peace After The Storm. The author says the process of writing this book has liberated her. It has brought healing of the wounds in her heart. Not many women want to share experiences that have brought them shame and pain. However, they will take the courage to speak of their experience today and hope to save others going through the same experiences. Some of the most truthful and painful experiences of her three marriages which are highlighted in this book will touch many people. The scars of the author's life have resulted in her being single, maybe for the rest of her life. Jossine Abrahams helps women to find their own way of dealing with hurt, abuse, deceit and anger. Life has its vicissitudes, but women should always remember that dreams do come true, she says.

Rethinking Domestic Violence by Donald G. Dutton Pdf

Rethinking Domestic Violence is the third in a series of books by Donald Dutton critically reviewing research in the area of intimate partner violence (IPV). The research crosses disciplinary lines, including social and clinical psychology, sociology, psychiatry, affective neuropsychology, criminology, and criminal justice research. Since the area of IPV is so heavily politicized, Dutton tries to steer through conflicting claims by assessing the best research methodology. As a result, he comes to some very new conclusions. These conclusions include the finding that IPV is better predicted by psychological rather than social-structural factors, particularly in cultures where there is relative gender equality. Dutton argues that personality disorders in either gender account for better data on IPV. His findings also contradict earlier views among researchers and policy makers that IPV is essentially perpetrated by males in all societies. Numerous studies are reviewed in arriving at these conclusions, many of which employ new and superior methodologies than were available previously. After twenty years of viewing IPV as generated by gender and focusing on a punitive "law and order" approach, Dutton argues that this approach must be more varied and flexible. Treatment providers, criminal justice system personnel, lawyers, and researchers have indicated the need for a new view of the problem -- one less invested in gender politics and more open to collaborative views and interdisciplinary insights. Dutton’s rethinking of the fundamentals of IPV is essential reading for psychologists, policy makers, and those dealing with the sociology of social science, the relationship of psychology to law, and explanations of adverse behaviour.
