- W289768704 abstract "The Battered Woman Syndrome: 3rd edition Editor: Lenore E. A. Walker Springer Publishing Company, LLC. US$51.70 (pb); pp488; ISBN 978-0-8261-4315-0 Violence against women and girls causes pain, disability, and death to an untold number of individuals every day, in every country in the world. Battered woman syndrome (BWS) was first used in the title to a US National Institute of Mental Health research grant in 1977. Since the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders by the American Psychiatric Association in 1980, BWS has been used in the psychological literature as a subcategory of post-traumatic stress disorder. Walker's pathfinder book The Battered Woman Syndrome has provided a state-of-the-art perspective on the field of domestic violence for the last 30 years. This concept-driven book is divided into 2 sections. The first section, comprising the initial 8 chapters, discusses general topics relating to BWS, including the definition and description of domestic violence, risk assessment, and sexuality issues. In the second section, special topics focus on attachment issues for battered women and the men who batter them, substance abuse and addiction, women in prison, and battered women who kill their abusive partners in self-defence, and the Survival Therapy Empowerment Program which helps women better understand how the violence has impacted on their lives. The goal of this third edition of this seminal text has been to amalgamate newer scientific data with the literature on domestic violence. Authors describe several types of abusers: those who batter in order to get power and control, mentally ill people (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, borderline personality disorder, substance use) who batter, and antisocial personality disordered abusers (portrayed as either 'pit bulls' or 'cobras'). Structural changes in the midbrain causing autonomic failure and 'cell memories' are put forward to explain the aetiology of violence and aggression. Learned helplessness, learned optimism, and sex role socialisation are well described to explain how they maintain BWS. Psychoactive substance abuse in the context of BWS is also discussed. The connection between violence against women, violence against children, violence against the elderly, and street violence is introduced in this edition. It also includes a focus on culture and ethnicity, including research on African and Caribbean American women in a later chapter. This third edition presents data generated from the newly modified Battered Woman Syndrome Questionnaire. There is a singular mention of lesbian and gay relationships in the context of BWS which is interesting. …" @default.
