The
Gift of Fear: Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence
Each hour, 75 women are raped in the United States, and every
few seconds, a woman is beaten. Author Gavin de Becker says
victims of violent behavior usually feel a sense of fear before
any threat or violence takes place. They may distrust the fear,
or it may impel them to some action that saves their lives.
A leading expert on predicting violent behavior, de Becker believes
we can all learn to recognize these signals of the "universal
code of violence," and use them as tools to help us survive.

The
Batterer : A Psychological Profile
Drawing on his pathbreaking studies of more than 700 abusive

that shed light on the dark secrets of spousal abuse, and with

begin to put an end to violence behind closed doors. |
