Summary: Prevention/Diagnosis of an Abuser
Review: Looking back on my Sociology class in college, I have discovered that this would have been a GREAT resource book to accompany my text. The author has organized an ideal characterization of an abuser and his victim. Perhaps through reading this book, many potential dependent women will become independent and their eyes will be open to the factors contributing to being physically, mentally, and or sexually abused. There are wonderful charts and diagrams (Venn) regarding the mental and physical factors of the abuser and the victim. The author has done a very good job in identifying the "cycle" of abuse. So many victims have closed their eyes to what they know as reality and choose to believe what is false. The section on "The cycle of abuse" was very informative. In closing, this was an informative, eye-opening reality check that must be read by all.

Summary: A Must Read For All Women
Review: The concept of this book deals with an ever increasing problem in our society- anger and violence. This is an excellent book in that it outlines very clearly the definition of violence and gives pertinent resources for the resolution of violence.It is a must read for ALL WOMEN because: it empowers them to recognize an abusive relationship before becoming to involved with an abuser and deters them from accepting abuse, it provides information and guidance for those who are involved in an abusive relationship, and empowers them to leave, lastly, it gives information on how abuse not only affects the individual, but children and eventually society. This book is a great contribution to anger and violence awareness and to the eradication of such an evil.
