According to the American Medical Association, one quarter of
American women will be abused by an intimate partner at some point
in their lives. Loving support can make a tremendous difference to
survivors as they struggle with the difficult process of healing
and regaining trust in themselves and others. Often, however,
pastoral caregivers possess the same misconceptions about domestic
violence as does the uninformed public. Al Miles addresses the
issues related to inadequate pastoral response to this pervasive
problem. He explores the dynamics of abusive relationships and the
role that clergy members can take to heal this painful situation.
The new edition of Domestic Violence builds upon the insights,
policies, and programs of the original volume and includes new
information on the pathology of domestic violence and the effect
the economic downturn is having on victim-survivors and batterers.
Miles also focuses on helping clergy and other pastoral ministers
develop a more compassionate response to victim-survivors who are
gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender. This thoroughly updated
edition includes questions for discussion, a list of additional
resources, and contact information for state coalitions working to
end domestic violence.
