It involves a perpetrator using a range of tactics to intimidate, humiliate, degrade, exploit, isolate and control a partner or family member. Some coercive control perpetrators use violence, others do not.Drawing on interviews with children and mothers who have experienced coercive control-based domestic violence, this groundbreaking book sheds light on the impacts of coercive control on children, how it is perpetrators who must be held accountable for those impacts, and how resistance by children and mothers occurs. Resistance happens in everyday life, not just in response to incidents of violence. Breaking free from coercive control is not a one-off event but a sustained battle for safety and recovery in which child and adult survivors need supports and professional interventions that work.Written accessibly for students, researchers, practitioners, survivors of domestic violence, a\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author does discuss the interaction between mothers and children in dealing with situations of domestic abuse...the book notes that children are victims of domestic abuse just as their mothers are. * Choice *\u003cbr\u003eThis book advances understanding of DV by adding to existing practice perspectives. Coercive Control in Children's and Mothers' Lives is an excellent addition to the extant literature on comprehending and addressing DV and abuse. * Kyunghee Ma, Affilia: Feminist Inquiry in Social Work *\u003cbr\u003eThis is the book on coercive control and children that professionals and survivors have been waiting for. By giving the voices of mothers and their children equal weight, Dr Emma Katz elegantly lays bare the flimsily and artificial walls, created by professionals, between domestic violence and child maltreatment. This book is a journey into the everyday, crazy-making, scary, painful, petty minutiae of coercive control. It sharpens our vision of perpetrators as parents, opening the door to new accountability efforts. It offers hope through intimate narratives of safety, love, and healing between adult and child survivors. By tying the voices of survivors to an incisive analysis of policy and systems failures, Dr Katz offers the domestic violence informed practice change road map we need. * David Mandel, Executive Director and Founder, Safe \u0026amp; Together Institute *\u003cbr\u003eAmidst the failure of police, courts and child welfare to hold the male perpetrators accountable, Emma Katz follows fifteen families through their harrowing years of abuse and recovery. In a pioneering work that shows that children are subjected to the same abusive tactics as their mothers, she applies the new paradigm of coercive control to amazing effect, evoking the voices of women and children to identify the multiple forms of harm inflicted, the tactics perpetrators use to co-opt or weaponize children, how children resist and how some women break free. The book depicts a disturbing reality. But the ultimate message of survival against adversity is uplifting. This book will change how we understand and respond to children's experience of woman abuse. * Evan Stark, PhD, MSW, Author of Coercive Control and Professor Emeritus, Rutgers University, New Jersey *\u003cbr\u003eDr Emma Katz is one of the world's leading experts on coercive control, and with this text she has done something rare: centred the voices of children. This will become a seminal text for all who seek to understand and respond to coercive control. It will also be a lifeline for people who have grown up navigating the impossible terrain of coercive control in their family homes: finally, there is a text that honours their agency, their strategic nous, and the sheer act of will it took for them to survive. * Jess Hill, investigative journalist and author of See What You Made Me Do: Power, Control and Domestic Abuse *\u003cbr\u003eDr Emma Katz gets right to the heart of the matter of how coercive controllers harm their children. With great knowledge and care she 'connects the dots' of how children are victims of coercive control and domestic violence, and how that coercive control impacts critical aspects of their lives and emotional and social development. Throughout the book she demonstrates that the failure to hold abusers accountable as parents is endangering kids; that children should be listened to, believed, and heard; and that children's fear, trauma and the danger being caused by the abuser must be taken seriously. Thank you for hearing the voices of children \u0026amp; honoring the reality of our experiences. * Ruth Stearns Mandel, survivor professional, Safe \u0026amp; Together Institute E-Learning, Communications \u0026amp; Strategic Relationship Manager *\u003cbr\u003eWritten by the world's leading expert on coercively controlling abuse and children, this book provides a powerful detailing of children's direct experiences of coercively controlling abuse by (mostly) fathers and the multi-faceted harms they suffer, calling for courts and service providers to recognize children as direct victims, not merely incidental witnesses, of coercive control. * Professor Joan Meier, Professor of Law and Director of the National Family Violence Law Center, George Washington University Law School *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a timely book addressing an under-researched area of domestic abuse — the impact of coercive control on children. Katz begins with a powerful sentence, \"if a situation of coercive control was a political system it would be a dictatorship\", setting out clearly the entrapment victims experience. It has hitherto been popularly considered that children merely witness abuse and control, but this book graphically documents the experiences of both mothers and children showing that children are victims in their own right. It should be compulsory reading for every child protection professional and every family court judge. * Professor Jane Monckton Smith, Professor of Public Protection, University of Gloucestershire *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Understanding coercive control 2 Coercive control and the agentic child 3 Interviewing children and mothers about coercive control 4 Coercive control: Harms to children 5 Mother-child relationships under coercive control 6 Ready to recover?

Seconds later, miles from home, Holly Crichton got a shocking call from her son. I just shot Dad, Mat told her. The violent end to a violent situation came as no surprise to the community; Holly and her sons had been living in terror from the abuse of her husband for many years. Surprisingly, when Holly and her youngest son were disabled in separate accidents, the abuse did not subside it only escalated. Fiercely protective of her younger son, Holly rarely left the farm. But in time, Mat met and married a woman he loved, moving into a house on the family''s land. Encouraged by a family friend, Holly pushed her worries aside one September long weekend and set off with the friend for a music festival. She was there when Mat''s call reached her. As she raced to Mat''s side, she vowed that the vicious cycle of domestic violence that had claimed her husband''s life would not claim her son''s as well. But in a shocking turn of events, the police characterized the elderly father as the victim, and the son, Mat, as the aggressor. The community turned out in full force to prevent Mat from being convicted on a first-degree murder charge, and eventually the sentence was reduced to manslaughter. With an incredible support team of friends, neighbours and lawyers surrounding her, Holly mounted an epic effort on her son''s behalf. NO WAY TO RUN is Holly Crichton''s story of tenacity, hope, love and courage and a remarkable testament to the power of community. Crichton''s humour and unending reserve of hope and perseverance is an extraordinary example of a woman and her children''s choice to survive.","brand":"Caitlin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888936268119,"sku":"9781987915181","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781987915181.jpg?v=1722551875"},{"product_id":"girl-alone-9780008138257","title":"Girl Alone","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAged nine Joss came home from school to discover her father''s suicide.
