Hope of Awakening

In this simple, stark presentation, victims of domestic violence speak clearly to us from their hearts, with frank comments on subjects ranging from how the violence started, through the ordeal of abuse, and finally to the victim's eventual "awakening" and escape. Commentary from a clinical psychologist and the co-chair of the American Bar Association's Commission on Domestic Violence offer helpful advice on what to do if you suspect you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship, from seeking assistance to finding support groups. The main point stressed here seems to be, "I got help, and you can too." A good choice for support groups or womens issues programs. Recommended. Aud: C, P. (E. Druda)
