Descriere
With
expertise
and
sensitivity,
the
author
of
this
accessibly
written
volume
addresses
a
real
but
long-neglected
problem:
the
pain
and
humiliation
of
sexual
assault
suffered
by
many
women
at
the
hands
of
their
partners.
Extensive
gathering
of
personal
testimony
from
survivors,
together
with
interviews
with
service
providers,
bears
witness
to
a
lack
of
validation
and
insufficient
assistance
currently
available
for
such
women.
This
volume
gives
hope
to
survivors
and
provides
critical
information
for
service
providers
to
gain
a
better
understanding
of
the
seriousness
of
the
problem.
