520 |a In this volume, Mary Ann Dutton presents her innovative work with battered women. It is solidly grounded in research as well as in the social and political analysis of domestic violence. Her work is based on extensive contact with battered women in both clinical and forensic settings. Dutton first outlines a conceptual framework for understanding the battered woman's response to violence, abuse, and control. This serves as the foundation for both assessment and intervention. Her framework has application within both a clinical and a forensic context. She also discusses battered women's strategies for escape, avoidance, and survival. The text spells out, in concrete, practical terms, what it means to place the pathology outside the battered woman, and its implication for practice - that battered women are not "sick," but they are in a "sick" situation. From this premise, Dutton creates a model with three primary goals for working with battered women: 1) safety first, 2) empowerment through choice-making, and 3) healing the psychological trauma. This is an essential book for mental health professionals involved with clinical intervention in domestic violence and for legal professionals interested in understanding the impact of domestic violence on battered women.
