Pt. 1. Emily's story / Emily -- Pt. 2. Family violence / DVIRC ; Jenny Nunn and others.
This book is about how lives can be turned updside down when one person in a family uses violence against other family members. 'Emily' spent several years trying to remove herself and her children from the grasp of a man who abused them. During that time she sought assistance from a number of people and organisations, but found that telling them about the abuse made little difference. The book traces the different and complex pathways along which women and children pass as they escape from family violence. It is essential reading for students, professionals and for the general reader who wishes to learn more about its dynamics.
