Review:
"Dr. Sanders' work on date rape and date violence makes visible another, frequently hidden, form of violence. Dating violence affects the lives of an estimated one-third to two-thirds of our children, adolescents, and young adults. Yet, little research has been conducted on this subject, limiting knowledge and understanding of the nature and scope of the issues and care needed by the victims and their families. Through the use of stories of real life situations, Dr. Sanders gives voice to these victims and their family members. She also highlights the need for competent, compassionate care and for social and legal policy reform." Mary Lebold, Dean of School of Nursing, Saint Xavier University, Chicago
"«Teen Dating Violence» provides valuable resources for those working with young people. Through the use of personal stories and current research data, the author raises our consciousness regarding the causes and consequences of dating violence. The book captures the effects dating violence has on those involved and on our society." Teresa LeCompte, teacher, Mother McAuley Liberal Arts High School, Chicago
"Clear and insightful, this is a solidly researched book with startling implications for teens and those involved with guiding them through this often treacherous life passage. As a seasoned clinician, I had a wake up call after reading this book! If you think there are no differences between violence against women and teenage girls, and the way in which these differences are handled in our social, educational, and criminal justice systems, you need to read this book!" Judith Kelly, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Oak Lawn, IL
"As the mother of four teenage daughters, ages 11, 14, 16, and 17, I think this book is required reading for both parents and teens." Donna Gasior, Burbank, IL
