Bringing together contributions on abuse from writers working in
social policy, social work and psychotherapy, Psychodynamic
Perspectives on Abuse explores the nature and ramifications of
abuse in a new light.
Abuse is defined broadly and considered as a widespread
phenomenon with a variety of manifestations and contexts. Its
consequences, and the responses it may provoke, are discussed in
detail with reference to three areas. In the personal context, the
impact of abuse on an individual's development, emotional life and
ability to participate in society is addressed. In the workplace,
where the focus is upon working relationships and organizational
goals, abuse may cause stress, undermine effectiveness and lead to
legal redress: thus it involves a different set of problems and
requires different treatment. In relation to society as a whole,
the threat which abuse poses and the factors which determine policy
are evaluated. Psychodynamic Perspectives on Abuse is unique in its
range and focus, providing the cross-disciplinary approach to this
problem which is essential for developing strategies to deal with
it at all levels.
