VIOLENT PARTNERS: A BREAKTHROUGH PLAN FOR ENDING THE CYCLE OF ABUSE
Linda G. Mills
In this radical new take on intimate abuse, CVR founder and director Linda Mills lays out a new guide to the root causes and basic effects of abuse, and offers innovative solutions. She notes that intimate abuse is more than just a victim and a villain and argues for restorative justice techniques, the strategy that CVR advocates.
Drawing from case studies as well as her own experiences, Mills describes two nationally known treatment programs at the forefront of domestic violence treatment reform - Peacemaking Circles and Healing Circles. Controversial, provocative, and accessible, Violent Partners highlights in detail the complexities of violence. This is essential reading for anyone seeking a new and valuable approach to treating couples in crisis.

INSULT TO INJURY: RETHINKING OUR RESPONSES TO INTIMATE ABUSE
LINDA G. MILLS
With Insult to Injury, Mills challenges the dominant paradigms surrounding the current system of addressing violence between intimates. Informed by compelling evidence, personal experience, and what abused women say about their own needs, Mills proposes no less than a fundamental shift in how we view the problem. Addressing the real dynamic of intimate abuse and incorporating proven methods of restorative justice, Mills' approach focuses on healing and transformation rather than punishment and blame.
