This review is from: Talking to a Battered Woman: A Guide for the Short-Term Helper (Paperback)
This little book is a wonderful resource for people in the helping professions, particularly those working in shelters for battered women. It's concise, well-written, and conveniently organized. It would be a useful addition to any library, and an invaluable aid for distribution to women in this situation. Highly recommended!
