Description

Directed to victims of domestic assault, this volume describes the feelings experienced by many women who are in relationships involving physical and psychological abuse and presents specific ways in which a woman can realistically and responsibly respond to the violence. The text uses the personal accounts of women who have been in abusive relationships and the approaches to suffering and recovery involved in the principles of Morita and Naikan therapies. Individual sections focus on the characteristics of a good relationship, effective ways of handling emotions, the decision to leave a relationship, and methods of surviving the past and starting life over again. The text also explains appreciation and respect, redirection, making choices, expectations, and building a partnership in a new relationship. The discussion rests on the view that no woman should live in fear or experience violent behavior.
