This reference offers the nuanced understanding and practical guidance needed to address domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking in diverse religious communities. Introductory chapters sort through the complexities, from abusers'' distorting of sacred texts to justifying their actions to survivors'' conflicting feelings toward their faith. The core of the book surveys findings on gender violence across Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Eastern, and Indigenous traditions--both attitudes that promote abuse and spiritual resources that can be used to promote healing. Best practices are included for appropriate treatment of survivors, their children, and abusers; and for partnering with communities and clergy toward stemming violence against women.
Among the topics featured:
Ecclesiastical policies vs. lived social relationships: gender parity, attitudes, and ethics.Women’s spiritual struggles and resources to cope with intimate partner aggression.Christian stereotypes and violence against North America’s native women.Addressing intimate partner violence in rural church communities.Collaboration between community service agencies and faith-based institutions.Providing hope in faith communities: creating a domestic violence policy for families.Religion and Men''s Violence against Women will gain a wide audience among psychologists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, and other mental health professionals who treat religious clients or specialize in treating survivors and perpetrators of domestic and intimate partner violence, stalking, sexual assault, rape, or human trafficking.

As violence against LGBTQ+ persons continues to be a pervasive and serious problem, this book aims to inform mental health providers about the unique needs of LGBTQ+ survivors of interpersonal and structural violence. Individual chapters analyze unique aspects of violence against specific subpopulations of LGBTQ+ persons in order to avoid ineffective and sometimes simplistic one-size-fits-all treatment strategies.
Among the topics covered:Macro Level Advocacy for Mental Health Professionals: Promoting Social Justice for LGBTQ+ Survivors of Interpersonal Violence Intimate Partner Violence in Women’s Same-Sex Relationships Violence Against Asexual PersonsInvisibility and Trauma in the Intersex CommunitySexual and Gender Minority Refugees and Asylum Seekers: An Arduous JourneySexual and Gender Minority Marginalization in Military ContextsNavigating Potentially Traumatic Conservative Religious Environments as a Sexual/Gender MinorityViolence Against LGBTQ+ Persons prepares mental health professionals for addressing internalized forms of prejudice and oppression that exacerbate the trauma of the survivor, in order to facilitate healing, empowerment, healthy relationships, and resilience at the intersection of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and diverse social locations. This is a valuable reference for psychologists, social workers, counselors, nurses, mental health professionals, and graduate students, regardless of whether they are preparing for general practice, treatment of LGBTQ+ clients, or treatment of survivors and perpetrators of various forms of violence.

This groundbreaking reference offers mental health professionals a rigorous, nuanced guide to working with abuse survivors with disabilities in religious communities. Expert contributors unravel complex intersections of disability, religion, and identity in the context of gender violence (including spotlights on racial, gender, and sexual minorities, Deaf persons, and men), and offer survivor-centered best practices for intervention. Chapters explore how responses from clergy and other religious figures may sometimes prevent survivors from seeking help, and how faith leaders can help to empower survivors. The concepts and research presented here support multiple purposes, from removing barriers to survivor services to working with religious communities to be more inclusive and transparent.
Among the topics featured:
From barriers to belonging for people with disabilities: Promising pathways toward inclusive ministry.Empowering womenwith intellectual disabilities to resist abuse in interpersonal relationships.Race, culture, and abuse of persons with disabilities.Ableist shame and disruptive bodies: Survivorship at the intersection of queer, trans, and disabled existence.From the narratives of survivors with disabilities: Strengths and gaps between faith-based communities and domestic violence shelters.Religion, Disability, and Interpersonal Violence brings transformative insights to psychologists, social workers, and mental health professionals across disciplines providing guidance within religious and disabled communities in their clinical practice. It also provides valuable background for researchers seeking to examine the interface between religious culture and the abuse of persons with disabilities.
