«Femmes sous emprise» is the essay by Marie-France Hirigoyen, published by Pocket in paperback (320 pages, in French).
The author analyses how physical violence in a couple does not appear suddenly, but after an escalation of abuse and intimidation. The worst violence is not the most visible: women become trapped in a dynamic of control. With examples, the author offers keys to detect the first signs of psychological violence and intervene in time.
Originally published in 2004, this Pocket edition dates from 2006. Marie-France Hirigoyen is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst specialising in victimology.
For readers interested in psychology, feminism and prevention of gender-based violence.
Marie-France Hirigoyen is a French psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and psychotherapist specialising in mobbing, a form of bullying. Her interest in stress led her in the mid-1980s into victimology, a branch of criminology. She later turned her attention to workplace stress generated by mobbing behaviour.
