Abusive Relationships and Acquaintance Rape

“The minute you tell others, you end the control,” says the host of this powerful, practical guide to recognizing and leaving abusive relationships, one of three titles in the Relationships Video Series. Focusing on empowerment through exposure, this program aimed at both victims and victimizers--featuring an open-forum discussion with 10 young adults--defines abuse, explores the underlying motivations, details the warning signs of an unhealthy relationship, and most importantly, offers suggestions for getting out and acquiring help. In addition to the stories told by the young people in the support-group setting, the video includes factual information presented by psychologists and social workers. Recommended. The other two titles in the series (series price: $225) are: Building and Maintaining Healthy Relationships and Recognizing Unhealthy Relationships. Aud: H, C, P. (E. Gieschen)
