Recovery from Abuse

Recovery from Abuse

This website targets 'pastors and other religious professionals' with information about abuse, how it affects survivors, and ,notably, how it affects family members and family dynamics. While it is targeted to pastors religious professionals, much of the information is not specific to religion at all. In the Family Member section it has some good information on how spouses of abused persons are affect, and in the Family Dynamics section it talks about three different roles a survivor may take on in the family, and discusses the effects of each of those roles.

Although the journals, books and research cited are a bit dated, this site is a good overview of abuse and how it affects survivors, partners and families.
