- Summary:
- "Violence against women has been examined in thousands of research articles and books across multiple disciplines. The extraordinary range of subtopics alone makes it difficult for clinicians, teachers, and researchers to form a coherent picture of the phenomenon. Women and Victimization: Contributing Factors, Interventions, and Implications is the first book to comprehensively examine and integrate a vast and diverse literature base, drawing from divergent findings to reveal a picture of complexity and of intertwining risk and resilience factors. Why do some women develop serious mental health problems like posttraumatic stress disorder or depression after victimization, whereas others survive seemingly unscathed? Is depression in women a risk factor for victimization and substance abuse, or is it an outcome? This definitive book provides a critical literature review, integrating and analyzing the widespread research on violence and victimization, mental health, and substance use among adult women. Students and professionals working in any of these three major fields will find the book a provocative and indispensable resource"--Jacket.
