A woman is thinking of leaving her husband, who has abused her for the past five years of their marriage. This isn’t the first time she has thoughts of leaving. Her children are frightened by their mother’s cries and the bruises on her face. They don’t know what will happen next.Violence in the home is still a hidden epidemic that is often misunderstood by those who have not been impacted by its wrath. They may wonder: 'Why doesn’t she just leave?' 'Why do men abuse the women they love?' Mike McGrane’s House of Abuse was created to help perpetrators of domestic violence examine their behaviors and, hopefully, end their abuse. This intervention exercise has been used in multiple settings with victims/survivors, clinicians, chemical dependency counselors, the military, high schools and colleges, and general audiences throughout the world to increase understanding of this complex issue.Drawing on the author’s three decades of work with both perpetrators and victims/survivors, The House of Abuse: Understanding Violence in the Home describes each room in The House through the stories of the men and women who have lived there-and offers conclusions about what sorts of interventions can help bring peace to The House.
