Asay, University of Nebraska, Kearney • John DeFrain, University of Nebraska, Lincoln • Marcee Metzger, Voices of Hope • Bob Moyer, Family Violence Council This one-of-a-kind edited collection draws on the expertise of authors from 16 countries representing 17 cultures to tell the story of domestic violence in their respective parts of the world. The book incorporates a strengths-based approach, including individual, relationship, community, and societal strengths.

Hall, Private Practice, Santa Rosa, California Encouraged to publish her story by her therapist and co-author, Evelyn J. Hall, Beth Sipe vividly details the evolution of domestic violence during her 16-year marriage: the background and events leading up to and immediately following her tragic act of desperation that ended the life of her sadistic perpetrator. Beth's subsequent mishandling by the police, the military, a mental health professional, and the welfare system illustrates how women like Beth face further revictimization and neglect by the very systems that should provide support and assistance. Insightful commentaries written by experts in the field follow Beth's story and deepen our understanding of the causes and process of spousal abuse, why battered women stay, and the dynamic consequences of domestic violence. This updated edition includes new commentaries and an epilogue that tracks what happened to Beth in the years following the publication of her book.
