Book Description:
A definitive book providing a critical literature review, integrating and analyzing the widespread research on violence and victimization, mental health, and substance use among adult women. Draws from divergent findings to reveal a picture of complexity and of intertwining risk and resilience factors and to answer questions such as Why do some women develop serious mental health problems after victimization, like PTSD or depression, whereas others survive seemingly unscathed? Is depression in women a risk factor for victimization and substance abuse, or an outcome? A provocative and indispensable resource for professionals in the fields of adult (female) victimization, substance abuse among women, and mental health issues for women.
