As the publishers website states, this volume "explores the foundation and causes of intimate coercion, focusing specifically on the identification of the issue and subsequent healing process." Sociologists Loring and Scardaville shine a light on intimate coercion and how devastating it can be for the victims and their families. In the book's 11 chapters, they provide information on what intimate coercion entails; how to evaluate subjects to determine if coercion is occurring; how coercion happens, and reasons why it continues, in a relationship; and what therapies work with coercion. The book details the types of abuse--physical, sexual, and emotional--common to coercive relationships. Case studies scattered throughout the book are invaluable in helping the reader understand the nature of intimate coercion--on the parts of the coerced and the coercer. A chapter on special populations highlights some of the distinct problems (deportation, making sexual orientation public, and so on) the groups might face. The chapter on the transformation of coerced subjects using therapy and transformative tools is particularly interesting. This readable volume will be valuable to anyone seeking to understand domestic violence, mental health problems, or criminal justice. Summing Up: ** Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals.--K. Evans, Indiana State University
