Inside the Mind of a Battered Woman: Understanding the Mindset and Behaviors of Abused Victims, (Paperback)

It is a rare privilege to be allowed inside someone's mind and a huge responsibility - especially so when that mind has been battered almost into submission. To those who have no personal experience as victims of spousal abuse, those who read to understand and to help, this book gives you a peek into the state of the mind of battered women, a state of helpless, hopelessness, loneliness, fearfulness, illusion, and pain. The book enables you to understand the physical, emotional, and psychological dynamics that drives the actions of a woman that has been battered into submission. An understanding that may perhaps make you a channel of support to those who are trapped in the valleys of destructive relationships, and who need a lifeline to pull them up from the valley of abuse and hopelessness to the stable ground of refuge and hope.
