Synopsis:
Coercive control is a severe form of domestic violence experienced by millions of children worldwide, where a controlling individual asserts continuous oppression over their family in everyday life. Drawing on in-depth interviews with children and mothers who have experienced coercive control, Coercive Control in Children's and Mothers' Lives identifies the harms caused to mothers and children, and their processes of recovery. Analysing their struggles and successes, Katz shows the abuse that children and mothers were subjected to and how they can strive to reach out to each other and rebuild their lives.
