A better way : women breaking the cycle of domestic violence : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

This examination of domestic violence is divided into two main components. The first component explores the research that has been conducted about partner abuse. In particular, the incidence, theories, and counseling issues related to domestic violence are discussed. The second component is more personal in nature. It deals with my personal experiences while working as a volunteer intern at A Better Way, a shelter for women and children who are victims of domestic violence. These two components work together to create a more veritable depiction of the research results.
