Group offered for women in abusive relationships The Psychological Services Center is offering a treatment group for women who are in highly conflictual relationships. The group is targeted toward women who feels as though they are powerless in their relationships and whose partners exert a significant amount of control over them. Women in these types of relationships often find that the problems in their relationships are causing them difficulties in other areas of their lives. The group is designed to provide support and teach women new coping and communication skills to use in their relationships. Women who are interested in joining the group or desire additional information should contact the Psychological Services Center at 1-6914.
Admission is free and open to the public.
McDonough was appointed dean of the University of Virginia School of Architecture in 1994. In 1992, he and his firm, William McDonough Architects, wrote the Hannover Principles, a declaration for environmentally conscious building and design, which was commissioned by the City of Hannover, Germany, as the official guide for all design at the World's Fair in 2000. The McDonough presentation is sponsored by Interface Inc. of Atlanta, Ga., and hosted by the Department of Housing, Interior Design, and Resource Management in the College of Human Resources. Their new forms and innovative use of materials, as well as the technology they developed changed the mass-production of contemporary furniture. The exhibit is sponsored by the Herman Miller company with assistance from its market manager Herb Pulliam.
