Surviving Domestic Abuse examines how formal and informal supports
and services can mitigate the damaging, and sometimes fatal, social
cost of domestic violence. The book highlights victims' perceptions
of supports and lays a foundation for professionals and family
members to effectively assist victims of domestic abuse. The book
offers actionable recommendations and multiple-use cases to fill
gaps in the understanding of the complexities that exist in
domestic violence dynamics. Dr Finneran uses real-life interviews
with victims to inform action and intervention for policy, strategy
and decision-making for support and service providers including law
enforcement, healthcare, social services and employers.
Identification of successful supports and services can assist in
preventing victims from returning to their abusive relationships,
and the author provides real-life examples and a sounding board for
the voices of real women who have endured domestic abuse. Spanning
the gulf between research and practice, this is the ideal book for
a range of professional communities including psychologists, social
workers and healthcare professionals, and victims and survivors
themselves. It's also suitable for academics and researchers, and
students taking domestic violence treatment and prevention courses.
