Ditch That Jerk
Neither weighed down by research nor weightless with airy promises, Ditch That Jerk is a gritty, honest, and most of all experienced view of physical and emotional abusers and their effect on victims. Engagingly written, it shows women how to assess their partners and relationships for potential abuse, and for potential change - or not. Author Pamela Wiseman uses examples from counseling sessions to illustrate how the mind of an abusive man works and how to identify the patterns. She details the tricks used by such men to keep women in line and discusses warning signs, alcohol and drugs, and the excuses people use to explain abuse. Optimistic and empowering without candy-coating a difficult topic, this book gives women the tools to make clear-headed decisions about damaging relationships.
The Two Hour Leader
A ll field-based managers receive corporate leadership training of some kind. Yet, despite having completed the same training, some managers rise to the top rankings and some descend to the bottom or reach and sustain "average" for much of their career. WHY? This book is meant to be used as a supplement to your corporate training. You won't find a lot of charts, graphs, and theory. You will find, however, ideas and strategies often not contained in corporate leadership programs. Infusing some of those ideas and strategies into your daily business plan will separate you from your peers and help empower you to achieve whatever goals you set for yourself. I spent nearly 30 years in various leadership roles. During that time I experimented with many different tactical and strategic methods. The ones that consistently worked best - that resulted in sustained high performance achievement - are the ones outlined for you here. At first glance, some may seem like common sense. But I have found, over the years, that common sense is not necessarily common knowledge. This book is for those leaders who believe that good performance isn't good enough....

How do we help our children, or the children in our care? How can we reestablish meaning in our lives?

Current controversial social and legal issues such as mutual battering, child welfare and "failure to protect" policies, child custody and visitation rights for batterers, mandatory arrests, and welfare reform are also covered. Two new chapters devote attention to domestic violence in the military and to the challenging and rewarding role of those who work with battered women and their children. New resources have been included to reflect the ever-evolving wealth of books, web sites, and agencies available to both helpers and those in need.
