'The Psychology of Female Violence' explores the psychology of violent and criminal women. Drawing upon psychodynamic and criminological perspectives of female offending, the link between childhood experience and adult behavior is expounded. The book is divided into three sections focusing upon violence against children, violence against the self, and violence against others. Major topics include: Self-harm; Eating disorders; Physical abuse of children; Infanticide; Battered women who kill. 'The Psychology of Female Violence' will be valuable to students studying clinical psychology, women's studies, sociology, counseling, psychoanalysis, and criminology, as well as all practitioners involved in mental health and the criminal justice system.
