This book introduced a new model of woman defined advocacy that was
designed to bridge the gap that sometimes occurs between a battered
woman's perspective and a victim's advocate's perception. Created
to improve service delivery to women who are victims of domestic
violence, this model emphasized placing attention on the victim's
assessment of the risk in the violent relationship and on her
decision making. The authors aim to help advocates better
understand battered women's decisions, including the decision to
stay in an abusive relationship, to improve advocacy for victims
with various cultural experiences and backgrounds, and to provide
advocates with assistance in redesigning their services so they may
better meet the needs of battered women.
The second edition will be updated to include current research,
greater emphasis on working with marginalized populations, an
expanded advocacy framework, more emphasis on client strengths and
strengths based perspective, and more pedagogical elements will be
introduced.
