Introductory chapters sort through the complexities, from abusers' distorting of sacred texts to justifying their actions to survivors' conflicting feelings toward their faith. The core of the book surveys findings on gender violence across Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Eastern, and Indigenous traditions--both attitudes that promote abuse and spiritual resources that can be used to promote healing. Best practices are included for appropriate treatment of survivors, their children, and abusers; and for partnering with communities and clergy toward stemming violence against women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the topics featured:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEcclesiastical policies vs. lived social relationships: gender parity, attitudes, and ethics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWomen’s spiritual struggles and resources to cope with intimate partner aggression.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristian stereotypes and violence against North America’s native women.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing intimate partner violence in rural church communities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollaboration between community service agencies and faith-based institutions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProviding hope in faith communities: creating a domestic violence policy for families.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eReligion and Men's Violence against Women \u003c\/i\u003ewill gain a wide audience among psychologists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, and other mental health professionals who treat religious clients or specialize in treating survivors and perpetrators of domestic and intimate partner violence, stalking, sexual assault, rape, or human trafficking. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-08-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781493965854\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4939-2266-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 474\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47693464731788,"sku":"9781493965854","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781493965854.jpg?v=1776773436","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781493965854","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
