Anyone Familiar With Current Literature On Child Sexual Abuse Knows That non-offending mothers are routinely blamed for allowing their children to be victimized. This book analyzes and challenges this orthodoxy. It explores why mothers are held responsive when they are not themselves offenders, and presents clear documentation of the institutionalized sexism they encounter in intervening agencies. Central to the study are the cases of twenty-four mothers whose children disclosed incidents of sexual abuse. Betty Carter follows the experiences of these women in detail, documenting the treatment they received from police, child-protection workers, counsellors, schools, courts, physicians, co-workers, and family members. She traces mother-blame to the specific wording of legislation, to the implementation of agency, policies, and to front-line practices. Using a feminist analysis, Carter argues that the practices and policies of various institutions reproduce and maintain familistic ideology and sexist practices. She has drawn on her years of experience as a child-protection worker and child-abuse specialist to formulate this challenging study.

In Love, Honor and Negotiate: Making your Marriage Work, family therapist Betty Carter offers a cutting-edge, common-sense approach to helping marriages survive, grow, and flourish: renegotiating the marriage contract.

El presente libro investiga el ambito de la familia desde una perspectiva feminista. Partiendo de los trabajos del Women s Project in Family Therapy, fundado en 1977 por las mismas autoras, se centra en el entorno familiar planteando aspectos, situaciones comunes y consecuencias de la socializacion basada en el genero en las relaciones dentro de la familia. En este sentido, el materia proporcionado por el texto esta proyectado para ser aplicable clinicamente y, para, facilitar este proceso, cada una de las autoras aporta un caso ilustrativo a cada capitulo. No es extrano, asi, que cada lector acabe encontrando una u otra orientacion teorica que le resulte familiar y afin a su propio modo de pensar y trabajar. Y por ello la obra no solo acaba constituyendo un excelente texto para cualquier tipo de cursos sobre las relaciones entre terapia familiar y estudios feministas, sino tambien una guia inestimable para los especialistas en salud mental y una lectura inspiradora para cualquier persona que desee explorar la red invisible de las pautas vinculadas al genero en las familias.
