- Ending Domestic Violence - The Number One Reason Many Victims Refuse To Leave
By: D. A. Campbell | - How do you end the cycle of domestic violence? For many of us the answer is simple. Just leave.
However as Erika Tindill - Executive Director of CT Coalition Against Domestic Violence tells Fox News 61 it is not that easy. "The biggest misconception is that victims can just leave. Can simply extract themselves from the situation. Pack up and walk out the door. That is not the case."

By: D. A. Campbell | - The cycle of domestic violence can be very frustrating for those of us who are looking at it from the outside.

- The Effects Of Domestic Violence - Stealing Your Rights
By: D. A. Campbell | - How destructive are the effects of domestic violence? An article from Psych Central gives us a perfect example: "one of the most tragic outcomes of domestic violence is that well more than half of the young men between the ages of 11 and 22 who are in jail for homicide have killed their mother's batterer."
It's a frightening statistic but no more so than the number of women who have lost their lives or received permanent injuries due to domestic violence.

- Ending Domestic Violence - Losing Control
By: D. A. Campbell | - Finally after much pleading and cajoling from people in her social circle she has left the relationship. It was not easy to get her to take this step.

- 3 Devastating Effects Of Domestic Violence
By: D. A. Campbell | - It is almost hard to fully comprehend effects of domestic violence can have on anyone and anything that crosses its path. The destructive force as well as the corrosiveness can impact a family community or even entire counties.
That last one is not an exaggeration. Any country that turns a blind eye to it or in essence hands the abuser the right to abuse is a prime example of that corrosiveness.
Here in the US there have been quite a number of encouraging signs. For i ...

- Psychological Help For Patients Victimized By Intimate Partners: A Clinical Advocacy Model
By: Dr Jeanne King PhD | - When the family wants the patient sick, treatment and recovery are impossible. This is the way it usually appears for all practical purposes. Family members' defenses protect interpersonal and intergenerational dysfunction...unless the patient is internally inspired and externally supported to break the cycle.
As clinicians we know the patient's resistance is an integral part of the psychotherapeutic change process. And in the context of therapy we learn to work with it. We use it t ...

- Abusive Relationships - Making You The Problem In Your Abusive Relationship During Your Divorce
By: Dr Jeanne King PhD | - Battered women and abused men are accustomed to being the scapegoat for the problems in their abusive relationships. They are routinely told:

- And oh yes, remember this one: "None of this ever happened anyway...It's all in your head, crazy-psycho."
Let's face it, "being the problem" goes hand-in-hand with being in an abusive relatio ...

- Domestic Violence Roots-teen Dating Violence?
By: Jack Krohn | - Three years ago one of the first articles I wrote was about domestic violence and all the inequities associated with it. Two young women in my life were victims-one was my daughter whose husband broke her arm. Since then I have tried to keep up with the problem without much luck.
The issue doesn't get a lot of press or maybe enough press is a better way of saying it. It is as I called it back then "America's Dirty Little Secret." To me it is a national disgrace the way women are t ...

- Legal Psychiatric/psychological Abuse - From Family To Court, From Court To Shrink
By: Dr Jeanne King PhD | - A survivor asks, "Once your abusive partner has used the legal system for further abuse, and final papers are filed with you having to see a psychologist of his choosing, what do you do? How do you turn the case around? He continues to threaten to take the children away."
When you are in this situation, it feels like something went "wrong." You ask yourself, "How is it that I'm the victim/survivor and I'm having to defend myself and prove my mental/emotional stability." Right?

- The Effects Of Domestic Violence - The Uncertain Future
By: D. A. Campbell | - One of the effects of domestic violence is illustrated in studies done by organizations like the Coalition for Battered Women. It is believed that when a woman attempts to leave a violent relationship the risk to her increases by a startling seventy five percent.
Why? As the Coalition's executive director Barbara Price states, "He's losing power and control, and that's what it's about." Which means the abuser will do anything to get it back or anything to make sure no one takes it a ...

- The Domestic Violence Cycle - 3 Ways The Abuser Manipulates
By: D. A. Campbell | - Early this year talk show host Oprah Winfrey featured an episode on the domestic violence cycle. She interviewed one gentleman who told her what it was like when he was physically assaulting his wife, "It made me feel invincible."
The first word that comes to mind is frightening. The fact that hurting the one he allegedly loves made him feel invincible is a mind-boggling concept. But so it goes with many abusive spouses. The whole relationship is about power and control. It not onl ...

By: Dr Jeanne King PhD | - Domestic violence survivors often believe they are the only victims in their divorce proceedings. And this belief adds to their victimization. While it is true that they are indeed victimized by the partner they are divorcing, their partners may be victims of legal counsel.

- Domestic Violence: Could You Be An Abuse Victim?
By: Lucille Uttermohlen | - Could You Be An Abuse Victim?
That may sound like a dumb question. You should know if you are being mistreated. You might be surprised how many people are abused who don't recognize that they are being victimized.

By: Dr Jeanne King PhD | - We know it happens; yet when we see it, we're in shock. And when we experience it, we're numb. How can a family member, who once claimed to cherish you, plot to back you into a fabricated psychiatric label and sentence of craziness?

- Family Court Violence - When Psychiatry And Law Serve As The Batterer's Club
By: Dr Jeanne King PhD | - Institutionalizing battered women in psychiatric hospitals is as old as prostitution. It's an effective way to silence and discredit them.

The referring social worker informed me that the young man's birth mother was a schizophrenic who had been institutionalized when he was around five years old.

- Another Case Of Male Abuse Revealed
By: Dr. Heyward Ewart | - This category of corporal punishment includes the use of any instrument to inflict pain by whipping, whether by use of an actual whip, a switch, a belt, or another flexible weapon.
Because this form of abuse is no less than torture and thus fully exposes sadism in extreme cases, and because visual tissue injury is visible, these victims are kept away from doctors. Otherwise, the secrecy is fairly easy to maintain, since usually the strokes are delivered to the buttocks and/or le ...

- Males Abused Also, Not Just Females
By: Heyward Ewart | - A man I once treated was neglected in foster homes from birth to age 2, when the real trouble began. His adoptive father hated him.

According to Dr. Heyward Ewart, the greater the abuse, the greater is the loyalty to the punisher.
