In addressing men-on-women violence, Domestic Violence: Identification and Restoration provides a look into the lives of the men who are perpetrators, as well as the women and children who experience domestic violence. The resulting physical and mental health issues related to women and children are addressed, as well as the personality characteristics of an abuser and the common behaviors oppressors use in the home and in public. The behaviors they commonly exhibit after separation are exposed, including the tactics generally used to sway the court, their lawyer, and their own family and friends in their favor. Domestic Violence explores what happens to brain neurology in women and children when both witnessing abuse and also when directly experiencing abuse. Included are steps to help women and children as well as scriptural encouragement for the victims and survivors at the end of each chapter. Also viewed are the difficulties experienced by the connected parents of the victim-partner, subject matter hardly ever, if ever, addressed. This book includes fundamental and indispensable information in one volume and is meant to not only help women and children in domestic violence situations, but also to educate the professional and ignite further research.
