- Description
- Based on interviews carried out over a period of eight years, novels, films, and domestic violence literature, the author explores the role of storytelling in the history of the battered women’s movement. She argues how cultural contexts shape how stories about domestic abuse get told, and offers tools for bringing psychology into discussions of group dynamics in the domestic violence field.
