About the Author
Lundy Bancroft has spent the last sixteen years of his career specializing in the field of domestic abuse, and is considered one of the world's experts on the subject. He is a court-appointed custody evaluator and the author of articles on abuse that have appeared in The New England Journal of Medicine and The Journal of Contemporary Psychology. A former codirector of Emerge, the nation's first program for abusive men, Bancroft now practices in Massachusetts, while also training various state and judicial agencies nationwide in dealing with domestic abuse situations.
From Booklist
Bancroft draws on 16 years of counseling men who abuse women and as a custody evaluator and child-abuse investigator to offer sound advice to women who are abused by their partners and are concerned about the impact on their children. Without judging women in abusive situations, Bancroft emphasizes that they are in the best position to help their children heal after witnessing abuse. She begins by describing how children view abuse from verbal put-downs of their mother to physical abuse and how their conflict and confusion manifest in a range of symptoms from sleeping and eating disorders to underperformance in school. She ends each chapter with action guidelines for women called "What Can I Do?" Bancroft analyzes the pros and cons of deciding whether to stay with or leave an abusive partner and offers coping strategies that include teaching children to be open about their feelings and devising a "safety plan" of escape if necessary. She also offers advice on choosing therapists and support groups, and practical skills for rebuilding the family. Vanessa Bush
