Intimate Violence

Book Review by: Goodlin1975    

Original Author: Richard J. Gelles
This book challenges the issues of intimate violence in the household. Stemming from domestic violence, you immediately think
that a male is involved. Intimate violence involves all family members. Emotional, psychological and sexual abuse are glorified. Parents, siblings and elderly are directly affected by intimate violence. Abuse takes place in all races and doesn''t discriminate. Violence within the family nucleus was once rare and now extensive studies have revealed troubling issues. The violence has always existed, but never explored in detail. Agencies haven''t engaged into abuse prevention more frequently in families and especially in the case of elderly victims. if you want to learn more about the different forms of abuse in families, read about intimate abuse. You will be shocked at what goes on in the household.
