Recensioner i media

From the reviews: "Each focusing on a different yet related aspect of violence against women, the 10 chapters can be read as a whole or individually for their specific emphases. ... The book is important for practitioners who run groups and who work with women. ... useful as a text for graduate courses in group counseling and techniques and in gender and feminist courses And it is very useful for academics who wish to transcend the mentality and constraints of empirically validated treatments for various categories of psychopathology." (Mary Ballou, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 59 (3), January, 2014)
