Review # 1 was written on 2020-08-18 00:00:00 Anant Upadhyay A bit dated, but I would argue it is still a must-read for those who work in "helping fields" (ministry, education, healthcare). Abuse isn't always visible or obvious, but there are signs. Oftentimes there is emotional, psychological, verbal, and social abuse/battering long before there is physical violence. There needs to be greater awareness of these things as domestic abuse as well!

Review # 2 was written on 2019-09-08 00:00:00 Patrick Peristeri I was surprised that the book was an update of previous research with additions of recent research. I didn't expect such a scholarly approach. However, the reading was not hard. I learned many things, including the meaning of learned helplessness, the definition of The Battered Woman Syndrome, and what the difference is between a victim and a survivor. I am a victim.
