Cook Praeger Publishers 1997 Westport, CT ISBN: 0-275-95862-0 Amazon’s summary: “When most people think of domestic violence, images of battered women or abused children come to mind. But there is another side to this issue that is not as familiar–abused men. This unique book is the first to comprehensively examine this important but neglected social issue. Already praised by a diverse spectrum of readers–from “Dear Abby’s” Abigail Van Buren, to the nation’s leading domestic violence researcher, to those in law enforcement and counseling–this work is sure to spark controversy and discussion. It offers gripping, emotional stories, self-help for victims, and provocative insight into public issues, and provides a basic reference source for professionals. Abused Men presents practical solutions for reducing domestic violence, whether its victims are male or female.” A website with more information about the book is located at: http://www.abusedmen.com |
