This volume contains compilation of original research along with clinical, policy, and educational applications to guide the reader toward an understanding of abused women's experiences.

An invaluable addition to the scholarly-based, practical literature, Empowering Survivors of Abuse is relevant to a variety of readers in the fields of nursing, mental health, criminal justice, and social work. This book is also a must have for shelter and system advocates, policymakers, and health planners, as well as advanced students in these areas.
