Ebook: Saving Beauty from the Beast: How to Protect Your Daughter from an Unhealthy Relationship

Dating violence affects a huge number of teenage girls — one in three girls between the ages of ten and eighteen reports having been assaulted by a boyfriend — and can run the gamut from possessiveness to stalking to outright physical abuse. Often it is the girls with the highest selfesteem, those who believe they are in control of their lives and can bring out the best in their boyfriends, who find themselves in the grip of a relationship in which the tables have been turned.
This essential and timely book incorporates the insights and advice of experts in the fields of education, adolescent psychology, criminal justice, threat assessment, and sociology. Authors Crompton and Kessner also include the voices of teenagers and parents to provide an in-depth portrait of the dynamics of controlling behavior.
