Common Purpose
by Lisbeth B. Schorr
In her previous book, Within Our Reach, which has shipped more than 70,000 copies, Lisbeth Schorr examined small-scale social programs that succeeded in reducing child abuse, school dropout rates, teenage pregnancy and juvenile crime, identifying the specific attributes that made these programs successful. But less than half the programs celebrated in , Within Our Reach survived when they became part of mainstream bureaucracies. In Common Purpose, Lisbeth Schorr identifies the efforts by dozens of large school systems, welfare systems, and child protection agencies she has researched over the past seven years that have shown that effective programs can be sustained expanded, and replicated. From reformed social service bureaucracies in Missouri, Michigan and Los Angeles to "idiosyncratic" but accountable public schools in New York City, she shows how mainstream bureaucracies have been made hospitable to programs that incorporate flexibility; community roots; a clear, long-term mission; and well-trained staff able to exercise individual judgment. She shows how "what works" in small-scale hot house conditions can be combined to transform whole inner city neighborhoods.At a time when welfare as we know it is coming to an end, Common Purpose is a welcome antidote to our current sense of national despair, proof that Americas institutions can be made to work to assure that all the nation's children will come into adulthood prepared to share in the American Dream.
The Batterer As Parent
by Lundy Bancroft
"This book beautifully educates the reader on the world in which batterers live and raise their children. Judges, lawyers, and others in decision-making roles will find this information very helpful in crafting appropriate decisions regarding a child’s safe contact with a battering parent." — Judge Bobbi Alpers, Iowa District Court "Excellent. I’ve been waiting for this book. It is a crisp, cogent, comprehensive exegesis on batterers, their parenting styles, their custody litigation practices, and the adverse impact of their violence on battered mothers and their children. A must read for attorneys, advocates, custody evaluators, judges, and batterer intervention service providers." — Barbara Hart, J.D., Legal Director, Battered Women’s Justice Project/Civil Division "This is by far the clearest and most insightful book to appear on domestic violence and custody issues, thoroughly grounded in both the research and the court system. An indispensable tool and a breakthrough, it is must reading for anyone handling the 50% of custody cases where domestic violence issues arise." — Joan Zorza, Esq., Editor, Domestic Violence Report "Critically informative for those who work directly with victims or abusers. The authors provide a comprehensive road map to the many problems batterers exhibit as parents, how these affect children, and what can be done about it." — David Adams, Ed.D., Psychologist, Founder and Co-Director of Emerge "This is a groundbreaking work that elucidates the complexity of the family dynamics engendered by a batterer’s presence in the home. Grounded in a sophisticated understanding of psychological trauma, and offering important recommendations for assessment and treatment, this book should be required reading for all professionals who work with parents or children affected by domestic violence." — Beth Tabor Lev, Ph. D., Director of Training, The Traumatic Stress Institute 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.

Living on a Dream
by Patt Blue
Patt Blue's parents married and divorced each other three times during their thirty years together. Theirs is a tragic story of emotional abuse and submission. The charming and obsessive philanderer, J. W. questions his wife's every move. The desperate, all-suffering Louise, with no money of her own, no voice in family decisions, believes his lies and tries to please. As an independent adult living in the era of feminism, Blue felt compelled to ask why and to understand. Why did her mother stay with him? Why does any woman stay with a man who psychologically torments her? For twenty years as a photographer Blue has focused her camera on people in trouble. Now, in this book, she turns her attention to her own troubled family. Combining oral history told by her mother, photographs taken by her father, and her own memories and contemporary photographs, she has produced this unflinching book that seeks an answer.
