Listening to Battered Women: A Survivor-Centered Approach to Advocacy. Mental Health, and Justice presents an in-depth, multidisciplinary look at society's responses to domestic violence. Although substantial reforms have been made in the services available to battered women since the 1970s, the book shows how the public and private systems available to victims of domestic violence are still failing to meet the needs of the women who seek help. Using a feminist perspective, authors Lisa A. Goodman and Deborah Epstein explore and critique the current available services in three different arenas: the domestic violence advocacy community, the mental health profession, and the justice system.

Male violence against women is a major source of fear, distress, and i njury for women crossing lines of ethnicity, economic status, sexual o rientation, and age. Indeed, despite the underreporting of statistics, acts of violence are everyday events in women's lives, and these acts exert insidious influence even on those individuals who are not direc t targets. No Safe Haven offers an in-depth systematic examination of this problem by focusing on the physical abuse, sexual assault and se xual harassment that many women endure at home, at work, at school, an d in the community. Leading experts review the literature on the preva lence and the physical and psychological effects of each form of viole nce as well as the literature on prevention and treatment.
