"Violent Emotions" investigates the role of alienation and shame as the source of repetitious cycles of conflict. Theories and research from large-scale conflict, marital dispute and communication processes are reviewed and provide a background for the author's new integrative theory. This theory - with its research and practical implications - is applied to four case studies of marital quarrels which advance understanding of conflict escalation and resolution. The data generated is extremely useful for preventive and predictive measures in early marital problems and provides insight into the dynamics of family and other forms of violence.
This volume focuses on the immediate and short term psychosocial needs of crime victims and on specific services and treatment programmes developed to meet their requirements. It discusses victim compensation, family violence intervention programmes and victim-witness assistance programmes. The text then reports on the first systematic study of the organizational structure and functions of 184 victim service and witness assistance programmes. The book concludes by examining programmes designed to improve service delivery and lessen the trauma experienced by victims of violent crimes, including rape, domestic violence and robbery.
