Reviews

Going beyond either/or positions, Paula Nicolson shows how the problem of domestic violence is as deeply personal as it is political.a Her book revisions the landscape of scholarship through this dual lens, combining psychodynamic and feminist perspectives to produce a highly nuanced account of patterns of intimate partner violence.a It is both a courageous and inspired book. -- Janice Haaken, Portland State University
