The Batterer As Parent:

Addressing the Impact of Domestic Violence on Family Dynamics

Sage Publications, 2002 - Social Science - 240 pages

The Batterer as Parent takes the reader inside of homes affected by domestic violence, imparting an understanding of the atmosphere that battering men create for the children who live with them. Bancroft and Silverman show how partner abuse affects each relationship in a family, and explains how children's emotional recovery is inextricably linked to the healing and empowerment of their mothers. The authors cover the important but often-overlooked area of the post-separation parenting behaviors of men who batter, including their use of custody litigation as a tool of abuse. Readers also are guided in evaluating change in the parenting of men who batter, assessing risk to children from unsupervised visitation, and supporting the emotional recovery of children. Although the book is written primarily for professionals, its accessible style makes it engaging and useful for abused mothers and anyone else wishing to assist children exposed to battering.

Review: The Batterer as Parent: Addressing the Impact of Domestic Violence on Family Dynamics

User Review - Katrina - Goodreads

A great review of academic research on batterers and the potential risks involved in their parenting. Sobering and a little scary, but important information to have. I wish lawyers and judges involved in family law cases would all read this book. Read full review
