Description: Mills challenges the orthodoxies surrounding intimate abuse. She reveals that many couples don't want to end their relationships-- instead, they're looking for tools that will help stop the abuse, and argues for a comprehensive approach to prevention that encourages victims to overcome their shame and get the help they need.
