A compilation of the most up-to-date research, theory, and practice in the intersection of women's studies, traumatology, counseling, and therapy, providing the first comprehensive look at the stressors that affect women's lives. The book is divided into three sections, the first of which examines women's experiences of stress and trauma using a lifespan developmental framework spanning form childhood through old age. The second section focuses on the range of violence and abuse of women, and includes cutting-edge research on the long-term health and neuropsychiatric effects of stress and trauma. A final section presents careful examinations of stress and trauma in the lives of women of color, women with disabilities, and lesbian women, three populations that are often overlooked. This unique volume is an invaluable resource for students and practitioners of all levels, and represents a new standard for knowledge to promote further research in the field.
