Publisher's Summary
Children of Coercive Control extends Evan Stark's path-breaking analysis of interpersonal violence to children, showing that coercive control is the most important cause and context of child abuse and child homicide outside a war zone, as well as of the sexual abuse, denigration, exploitation, isolation, and subordination of children. The book provides a working model of the coercive control of children and illustrates its dynamics and consequences with dramatic cases drawn from the headlines and Dr. Stark's forensic practice. The cases include those in which the coercive control of children runs in tandem with the coercive control of women, where children are "weaponized" in the coercive control of their mother and cases where abused mothers harm their children to survive or protect them from worse.
By highlighting a criminal cause of child maltreatment and a plausible justice response, Evan Stark challenges the common assumptions that child abuse and neglect fall on a continuum of problems rooted in maternal deficits, immaturity, poverty, and environmental stressors as well as the combination of Child Welfare and Child Protection Services that currently provide the ameliorative response.

Important Information that all health professionals need to read
This is an acedemic textbook filled with horrifying stories of abuse and control of victims that tried to get help from professionals, but were not heard. The story of Magdelena makes me infuriated. how can we have abandoned so many women like this? I have heard versions of this my whole life. it's epidemic, and this book finally talks about it. RIP Evan Stark - your work will save so many lives. thank you for writing this.
