Help ease the secret suffering of lesbians in abusive relationships
Why is woman-on-woman violence so often ignored or discounted?
Intimate Betrayal: Domestic Violence in Lesbian Relationships
uncovers the hidden problem of lesbians who hurt the women they
love. This long-needed book brings together theory, practice, and
research to suggest new and fruitful ways to understand, prevent,
and treat this common problem. Intimate Betrayal provides new
empirical research into the psychological and sociocultural causes
of abuse. As several of the chapter authors demonstrate, neither
traditional feminist theories about power nor heterosexist
paradigms explain the causes, dynamics, or treatment of this
problem. However, the new research presented here suggests helpful
diagnostic criteria and effective treatments. Intimate Betrayal
analyzes the factors that contribute to lesbian domestic violence,
including: heterosexism and homophobia minority stress emotional
isolation and lack of community ties revictimization of women who
have previously suffered abuse The thorough literature review
included reveals the paucity of attention that has been paid to
this problem. Intimate Betrayal suggests exciting new models for
freeing women from domestic violence, including the use of clinical
and community resources and liberation theology. Community
activists, counselors, and psychologists will be intrigued by the
insightful analysis of the root causes of lesbian-on-lesbian
violence and the valuable treatment suggestions. Researchers will
welcome the new avenues it opens for additional research.
