Intended primarily for therapists who work with victims of violence, this book integrates material on post-traumatic and dissociative disorders with the psychology of women. It covers the psychobiology of trauma, the social psychology of sexism, discrimination and violence against women, and modern approaches that take into account the complex interactions among biological, psychological and social factors in women's lives.
