Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. "Exploring the psychology of violent and criminal women, this text draws upon psychodynamic and criminological perspectives of female offending, and the link between childhood experience and adult behaviour is expounded. The book is divided into three sections focusing upon violence against the self, maternal abuse and violence against others. Some of the topics include: self-harm; eating disorders; physical abuse of children; women who kill their children; sexual abuse; women who kill their violent partners; and arson. Case material is used throughout to illustrate theory. This work should be useful to students studying clinical psychology, women's studies, sociology, counselling, psychoanalysis and criminology as well as all practitioners involved in mental health and the criminal justice system.
