This groundbreaking reference offers mental health professionals a
rigorous, nuanced guide to working with abuse survivors with
disabilities in religious communities. Expert contributors unravel
complex intersections of disability, religion, and identity in the
context of gender violence (including spotlights on racial, gender,
and sexual minorities, Deaf persons, and men), and offer
survivor-centered best practices for intervention. Chapters explore
how responses from clergy and other religious figures may sometimes
prevent survivors from seeking help, and how faith leaders can help
to empower survivors. The concepts and research presented here
support multiple purposes, from removing barriers to survivor
services to working with religious communities to be more inclusive
and transparent. Among the topics featured: From barriers to
belonging for people with disabilities: Promising pathways toward
inclusive ministry. Empowering women with intellectual disabilities
to resist abuse in interpersonal relationships. Race, culture, and
abuse of persons with disabilities. Ableist shame and disruptive
bodies: Survivorship at the intersection of queer, trans, and
disabled existence. From the narratives of survivors with
disabilities: Strengths and gaps between faith-based communities
and domestic violence shelters. Religion, Disability, and
Interpersonal Violence brings transformative insights to
psychologists, social workers, and mental health professionals
across disciplines providing guidance within religious and disabled
communities in their clinical practice. It also provides valuable
background for researchers seeking to examine the interface between
religious culture and the abuse of persons with disabilities.
This reference offers the nuanced understanding and practical
guidance needed to address domestic violence, sexual assault, and
human trafficking in diverse religious communities. Introductory
chapters sort through the complexities, from abusers' distorting of
sacred texts to justifying their actions to survivors' conflicting
feelings toward their faith. The core of the book surveys findings
on gender violence across Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Eastern, and
Indigenous traditions--both attitudes that promote abuse and
spiritual resources that can be used to promote healing. Best
practices are included for appropriate treatment of survivors,
their children, and abusers; and for partnering with communities
and clergy toward stemming violence against women. Among the topics
featured: Ecclesiastical policies vs. lived social relationships:
gender parity, attitudes, and ethics. Women's spiritual struggles
and resources to cope with intimate partner aggression. Christian
stereotypes and violence against North America's native women.
Addressing intimate partner violence in rural church communities.
Collaboration between community service agencies and faith-based
institutions. Providing hope in faith communities: creating a
domestic violence policy for families. Religion and Men's Violence
against Women will gain a wide audience among psychologists, social
workers, marriage and family therapists, and other mental health
professionals who treat religious clients or specialize in treating
survivors and perpetrators of domestic and intimate partner
violence, stalking, sexual assault, rape, or human trafficking.

This compact book is constructed using psychological theory and
research to empower university faculty to facilitate student
engagement and address student resistance to diversity and social
justice education more effectively. University faculty
teaching diversity and social justice have traditionally
encountered various forms of student resistance. Recent cultural
trends of political opposition to teaching critical race theory and
other forms of increased polarization and scapegoating with
decreased levels of social tolerance have exacerbated challenges in
promoting student engagement in diversity and social justice
education in universities and colleges. In contrast to
traditional models that tend to be confrontational in addressing
student biases, the new Moving Towards Social Justice (MTSJ),
Relational Partnership Development Model (RPDM) and process
theoretical models seek to build on appropriate pre-existing
strengths, interests, values, and the developmental readiness of
students who might otherwise oppose learning about the contexts,
lives, and predicaments of marginalized persons living in various
intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, national origin,
immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity and
ability/disability status. Emphasis is placed on the development of
professional and life skills, such as wisdom and intercultural
competence, which provide incentives and remove barriers to
learning about social justice and diversity. Project-based learning
approaches grounded in a developmental framework to foster the
thriving and well-being of diverse students, collaborative partners
in the community, and diverse persons served by the community
partners are emphasized. The role of empirical assessment,
feedback, and program refinement over time is also delineated
within the models. Subverting Resistance to Social Justice and
Diversity Education: Constructive Approaches with Undergraduate
Students is an indispensable and timely resource for
university and college instructors who teach courses or have
significant portions of a class that involve education around
social justice, diversity, and intersectionality issues, such as
cross-cultural psychology, multicultural psychology, social work,
sociology, intercultural communication, and counseling or clinical
practice with individuals or families from diverse social
locations. University officers of diversity, faculty development
providers, and other administrators interested in empowering
university faculty to increase student engagement in social justice
and diversity education also would find the book a useful
reference.
As violence against LGBTQ+ persons continues to be a pervasive and
serious problem, this book aims to inform mental health providers
about the unique needs of LGBTQ+ survivors of interpersonal and
structural violence. Individual chapters analyze unique aspects of

to avoid ineffective and sometimes simplistic one-size-fits-all
treatment strategies. Among the topics covered: Macro Level
Advocacy for Mental Health Professionals: Promoting Social Justice
for LGBTQ+ Survivors of Interpersonal Violence Intimate Partner
Violence in Women's Same-Sex Relationships Violence Against Asexual
Persons Invisibility and Trauma in the Intersex Community Sexual
and Gender Minority Refugees and Asylum Seekers: An Arduous Journey
Sexual and Gender Minority Marginalization in Military Contexts
Navigating Potentially Traumatic Conservative Religious
Environments as a Sexual/Gender Minority Violence Against LGBTQ+
Persons prepares mental health professionals for addressing
internalized forms of prejudice and oppression that exacerbate the
trauma of the survivor, in order to facilitate healing,
empowerment, healthy relationships, and resilience at the
intersection of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender
expression, and diverse social locations. This is a valuable
reference for psychologists, social workers, counselors, nurses,
mental health professionals, and graduate students, regardless of
whether they are preparing for general practice, treatment of
LGBTQ+ clients, or treatment of survivors and perpetrators of
various forms of violence.
