Book Description
For the last ten years Betsy Groves has been working with children traumatized by witnessing violence. In this book she shows how children understand, respond to, and are affected by violence, especially domestic violence. Groves makes the powerful case that traumatic events carried out by family members carry the most severe psychological risks for very young children. She uses clinical case studies to show that being young does not protect against the lasting effects of witnessing violence, and she offers ways adults can help.

Book Description
Most people are aware of the Jewish Holocaust, the German concentration camps and the slaughter of thirteen million people. At the conclusion of World War II, many of the survivors of the camps came to New York, where physicians and psychiatrists worked with them to transition back to normalcy. These patients all shared symptoms, new to the medical field at the time, broadly called Survivor Syndrome and explained in the book, Massive Psychic Trauma, edited by Dr. Henry Krystal, NY, 1968. Twenty years later, Survivor Syndrome began to be associated with the symptoms of domestic violence within the home. TRAUMA & Survivor Syndrome explains these specific symptoms, differentiates them from post-traumatic-stress-disorder symptoms, and gives a case study of a child-witness to domestic violence who later, under unique circumstances, presented with the symptoms of Survivor Syndrome. Survivor Syndrome material derived from Dr. Henry Krystal's Massive Psychic Trauma, 1968. About the Author: Sherry Lewis Henry PhD, MSW is a retired clinical social worker.She was motivated to write TRAUMA & Survivor Syndrome by the desire and need to investigate her mother's murder, despite the obvious cover-up. Seeking for Truth became a healing journey, which led her to Israel. There, among Holocaust survivors and their progeny, she found peers, validation, and existential restoration. Dr. Viktor Frankl's words rang true, The Survivor's Mission is twofold; healing of man-made, deliberate trauma for others and oneself is an on-going, life-long quest. It Is Good To Be a Seeker, but sooner or later a Seeker must give that which he has found, unto the world, to whomever will receive it. (Richard Bach, Jonathan Livingston Seagull)TRAUMA & Survivor Syndrome is that Gift. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/SherryLewisHen

Book Description
Written by a therapist who specializes in abusive men, this guide reveals how abusers interact with and manipulate children—and how mothers can help their children recover from the trauma of witnessing abuse. Can my partner abuse me and still be a good parent? Should I stay with my partner for my children's sake? How should I talk to my children about the abuse and help them heal? Am I a bad mother? Mothers in physically or emotionally abusive relationships ask themselves these questions every day. Whether it’s physical or “just” emotional abuse, whether it’s aimed at them or you, whether they see or hear it, your kids need you. This book, the first ever of its kind, shows mothers how to: • Protect children and help them heal emotionally • Provide love, support, and positive role models, even in the midst of abuse • Increase their chances of winning custody • Help their kids feel good about themselves “A must-read for every mother who has been abused...it offers the knowledge women need to protect their children and help them heal.”—William S. Pollack, Ph.D., author of the national bestseller Real Boys

Book Description
In Greek mythology, the Phoenix is a powerful and majestic bird that despite its circumstances is able to recreate itself and rise again, often from the ashes that were intended to destroy it. Much like the story of the Phoenix, Cassandra Anderson's memoir, Rising From the Ashes: A Journey from Trauma to Healing, explores the life trajectory of a young woman who was determined to succeed and overcome the obstacles she faced. Rather than allow roadblocks to impede her, she used them to find her strength and develop her own voice-one that now empowers other women. From enduring childhood trauma to overcoming professional insecurities and setback, this riveting memoir will challenge its readers to think about their own lives and how they too can rise from the ashes.
