Recenzje

This is a timely book addressing an under-researched area of domestic abuse DL the impact of coercive control on children. Katz begins with a powerful sentence, "if a situation of coercive control was a political system it would be a dictatorship", setting out clearly the entrapment victims experience. It has hitherto been popularly considered that children merely witness abuse and control, but this book graphically documents the experiences of both mothers and children showing that children are victims in their own right. It should be compulsory reading for every child protection professional and every family court judge.
