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.

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.

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.

Yet sometimes even the cynical and world-weary amongst us are taken aback. Sometimes we confront a crime so terrible, so horrendous, so deeply wrong, that we reach for the word ''evil''. The 9\/11 terrorist attacks were not merely wrong, but evil. A serial killer who tortures his victims is not merely a bad person. He is evil. And as the Holocaust showed us, we must remain vigilant against the threat of evil. But what exactly is evil? If we use the word ''evil'', are we buying into a naive Manichean worldview, in which two cosmic forces of good and evil are pitted against one another? Are we guilty of demonizing our enemies? How does ''evil'' go beyond what is merely bad or wrong? This Very Short Introduction explores the answers that philosophers have offered to these questions. Luke Russell discusses why some philosophers think that evil is a myth or a fantasy, while others think that evil is real, and is a concept which plays an important role in contemporary secular morality. Along the way he asks whether evil is always horrific and incomprehensible, or if it can be banal. Considering if there is a special psychological hallmark that sets the evildoers apart from the rest of us, Russell also engages with ongoing discussions over psychopathy and empathy, analysing the psychology behind evildoing.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

The Principles and Practice of Narrative Medicine expresses the collective experience and discoveries of the originators of the field. Arising at Columbia University in 2000 from roots in the humanities and patient-centered care, narrative medicine draws patients, doctors, nurses, therapists, and health activists together to re-imagine a health care based on trust and trustworthiness, humility, and mutual recognition.Over a decade of education and research has crystallized the goals and methods of narrative medicine, leading to increasingly powerful means to improve the care that patients receive. The methods described in this book harness creativity and insight to help the professionals in being with patients, not just to diagnose and treat them but tobear witness to what they undergo. Narrative medicine training in literary theory, philosophy, narrative ethics, and the creative arts increases clinicians'' capacity to perceive the turmoil and suffering borne by patients and to help them to cohere or endure the chaos of illness.Narrative medicine has achieved an international reputation and reach. Many health care settings adopt methods of narrative medicine in teaching and practice. Through the Master of Science in Narrative Medicine graduate program and health professions school curricula at Columbia University, more and more clinicians and scholars have obtained the rigorous training necessary to practice and teach narrative medicine. This text is offered to all who seek the opportunity for disciplined training in narrative medicine. By clearly articulating our principles and practice, this book provides the standards of the field for those who want to join us in seeking authenticity, recognition, affiliation, and justice in a narrative health care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  Introduction   Part I: Intersubjectivity Chapter 1.

It is authentically hers, full of energy, insight, quirks and personal narrative. Few people can pepper a serious, even scholarly, book on domestic abuse with comments that leave you laughing out loud!  But finding humour in tragedy is Natalie’s great gift, as is her refusal to be cowed by what she has gone through.  This book is both realistic and hopeful, opening a window on abusers and abused, not least by Natalie’s personification of the ‘tactics of torture.’ The profiles of abusing partners, and the struggles of those who suffer will be soberly familiar to many. Written with Christian wisdom and vigour, Natalie’s up to date, well-researched, and ‘must-read’ book challenges us all to work ever harder towards the eradication of violence against women. -- Elaine Storkey, Theologian, Philosopher, Broadcaster and Author\u003cbr\u003eOut of Control is a call to action; at times funny, touching, insightful, challenging and profoundly disturbing… without doubt this is a must read for every church leader. -- Kate Coleman, Founder and co-director of Next Leadership\u003cbr\u003eWhen I first began to review books, two decades ago, I was a jobbing pastor, and took a vow that I would never write ‘every pastor should read this book’—the life is too busy, and too varied, for that ever to be true. Or so I thought. Today I repent: every pastor should read Natalie Collins’s book, and should give it to their leaders to read as well. Domestic violence is an enormous hidden plague that infects every community, and every congregation, in the land, and Natalie exposes the reality of this, and points to practical steps we can all take to help.  Even better, Natalie communicates out of deep expertise, but simply, even colloquially. And all her passion, all her hope, all her joy, all her humour, are present in this book. It is a magnificent achievement, and it matters. Read it! -- Dr Stephen Holmes, Senior Lecturer in Systematic Theology, University of St Andrews\u003cbr\u003eThe book is well-researched and accessibly written. It is full of information which would be useful for those in abusive relationships, those who seek to intervene in such relationships, and those who ought to be intervening – such as church leaders. As a survivor of domestic abuse, Collins speaks with clarity and honesty about her own story. -- Helen Paynter * Centre for the Study of Bible and Violence *\u003cbr\u003eI can’t merely describe this as informative, well-researched and practical.

Based on his deep professional engagement with familial, organizational, and societal trauma, Fromm brings to life the experience of the individual in each of those contexts. His psychoanalytic approach emphasizes the dignity of the individual and demonstrates the value of curiosity to understanding such important matters as moral injury and the fear of repetition of trauma, whether conscious or unconscious. He shows us that mourning is required to move beyond grievance to grief, to join past to present, and to create space for an adaptive future.

Fromm compellingly recounts the stories of children delegated to bring their parents’ unspoken pasts into the present, of organizations whose fragmentation unconsciously communicates a censored history, and of societal structures bound up with what the social or the political realm has not yet assimilated. At the center of this remarkable book is Fromm’s own delicate, subtle act of listening, grounded in his clinical experience and turned not only toward the patients and institutions he encounters but also toward the great psychoanalytic theoreticians, whose work, as he reveals, emerges as a unique task of personal witness. In its movement between individuals and institutions, this book is consistently surprising. And it reminds us, importantly, that the reenactment of trauma demands “the dignity of our listening,” and that the contact with the dead, as Fromm so beautifully shows us, brings life back to the living.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Cathy Caruth, Class of 1916 Professor of English, Cornell University; author, Unclaimed Experience: Trauma, Narrative and History and Listening to Trauma: Conversations with Leaders in the Theory and Treatment of Catastrophic Experience\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Throughout the book, Fromm has you on the edge of your seat in anticipation of what he is going to reveal next.

This ending is a touching tale of the scavenging of Anna Freud’s curtains from being cast into a builder’s skip in London, their transformation, neglected, into the author’s back office, and then with a good wife’s creative genius, into gifted cushion covers, marking a psychoanalytic bequest, down generations. This provides a rich and wry tale of a bequest that is also this book’s gift to bestow. As so often the author resorts to the poetic to describe the ineffable and transcendent meanings of such psychoanalytic engagement, for whatever will be the next stage of our various journeys.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Richard Morgan-Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Fromm demonstrates an ingenious way of listening and of understanding which is one of the great inspirations of the book. He also has a special way of writing. It is eloquent – at times poetic – and a very personal way of writing. This is worth underlining as it brings the reader into the material, and the experiences described are often very difficult to take in and to reflect upon. It took this reviewer a long time to read the book. This was, however, necessary as the book presents the worst of humankind’s history. But Fromm also offers ways to deal with trauma and also hope. Fromm has a way of leading the reader gently but firmly into matters that we will need to deal with in years to come.'\u003c\/p\u003e -- Sverre Varvin, International Journal of Psychoanalysis, 2023, (104)(6):1136-1139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Permissions\u003cbr\u003e About the author\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrologue\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Of Whom Shall We Speak: Psychoanalysis and Dignity\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart I: Trauma in Families\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1 – Fear of Breakthrough: The Transmission of Trauma\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2 – Walking into the Wild: Traumatic Disillusionment and Identity Crisis\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3 - A Way of Looking at Trauma: Erik Erikson and the “Cogwheeling” of Life Cycles\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart II: Trauma in Organizations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4 – Minding the Gap: The Problem of College Suicide\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5 – Potential Space and Organizational Trauma\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6 – On the Mantelpiece: Organizational Trauma in Plain Sight\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart III: Trauma in Society\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7 – National Nightmare: The Legacy of Perpetrator Trauma\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8 – The Cure for Depression is Jihad: A Case Study\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9 – Sky of Tears: Clinical Work after 9\/11\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 10 – The Day I Died: Combat Trauma and Moral Injury\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 11 – We Don’t Speak of Fear: Large Group Identity and Chosen Trauma\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 12 – The Stones Speak: Historical Trauma and Cultural Healing\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 13 – Traveling through Time: A Group Intervention in Northern Ireland\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAfterword – When There Are So Many: Two Moments during the Pandemic\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eEpilogue - Anna Freud’s Drapes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eReferences \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eIndex\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karnac Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48741696471383,"sku":"9781800130258","price":27.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781800130258.jpg?v=1720058467"},{"product_id":"serial-killers-of-mexico-chilling-stories-of-evil-buried-beneath-the-narco-drug-wars-9781802791273","title":"Serial Killers of Mexico: Chilling Stories of","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA collection of chilling stories of murders from Mexico, one of the world's most prolific hunting grounds for serial killers. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e'If I was a serial killer looking for new victims, I'd head over the border to Mexico because life is cheap there and the police have got so much other sh*t to investigate, they don't bother with random killings.' - A former FBI agent\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor decades, America has been considered to be the natural home of serial killers.

Also interweaved in this key resource are acutely observed accounts of the Holocaust, capital punishment and homicide within a consumer society.

Despite this, and the lasting physical and psychological damage CPVA can cause, it is an underreported issue, and one that presents serious challenges to practitioners and support services - not least because it inverts our normal understanding of abuse within the family. With this book Helen Bonnick shares the knowledge that she has built up over many years specialising in CPVA as a social worker, practice educator and researcher. She brings this complex issue out of the shadows and provides much needed guidance to practitioners.  Following an introductory chapter, setting the scene and discussing definitions and language, the book is divided into five sections, which develop an understanding of the main issues before moving on to a more structured approach to work in supporting families. `Five impossible things to believe' sets out five core issues in understanding an issue that many people still find hard to accept, setting the scene for future discussions. The second section, `Four traps to avoid', addresses myths and stereotypes, looking at beliefs and assumptions that can impact on the delivery of a service. The third section, `Three aspects of work with families' looks specifically at assessment and models of intervention, after some important consideration of the power issues at play. This is followed by a section on the difficulties emerging from our tendency to think in binary ways: `Two conflicting paradigms'; and lastly, `One thing that everyone can do'. The book closes with a final chapter for those interested in taking their learning further.  Throughout, the easily digestible chapters are illustrated with real-life anecdotes and testimony from families who have faced CPVA. Above all, this is a book which brings the families' lives to the fore, and documents what they say helps, what hinders, and what they want to celebrate or protest. Each chapter includes a section called `What you can do', which may have questions to reflect on, or suggestions of action to continue the work of bringing greater attention and increased resources to this crucial field of family support.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction  Part 1: Five impossible things to believe Chapter 1: How much?

Chapters explore how GBV frameworks and migration management intersect, bringing to the forefront the specific inequalities these intersections produce for migrant women.

Is the ideal of progress obsolete? In this elegant assessment of the human condition in the third millennium, cognitive scientist and public intellectual Steven Pinker urges us to step back from the gory headlines and prophecies of doom, which play to our psychological biases. Instead, follow the data: In seventy-five jaw-dropping graphs, Pinker shows that life, health, prosperity, safety, peace, knowledge, and happiness are on the rise, not just in the West, but worldwide. This progress is not the result of some cosmic force. It is a gift of the Enlightenment: the conviction that reason and science can enhance human flourishing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFar from being a naïve hope, the Enlightenment, we now know, has worked. But more than ever, it needs a vigorous defense. The Enlightenment project swims against currents of human nature--tribalism, authoritarianism, demonization, magical thinking--which demagogues are all too willing to exploit. Many commentators, committed to political, religious, or romantic ideologies, fight a rearguard action against it. The result is a corrosive fatalism and a willingness to wreck the precious institutions of liberal democracy and global cooperation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith intellectual depth and literary flair, \u003ci\u003eEnlightenment Now\u003c\/i\u003e makes the case for reason, science, and humanism: the ideals we need to confront our problems and continue our progress.","brand":"Penguin Putnam Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48864189940055,"sku":"9780143111382","price":14.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780143111382.jpg?v=1722270817"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/collections\/violence-and-abuse-in-society.oembed?page=39","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
