Böcker av Jean Renvoize

In the early 1980s incest was ceasing to be a taboo subject. First published in 1982, the author had travelled around the USA, where considerable attention had been paid to incest in the previous few years, meeting professionals and ¿ more important ¿ victims and abusers themselves. This is a work of general as well as specialist interest.

In the early 1970s `baby battering¿ accounted for an estimated 700 child deaths a year in Britain. First published in 1974, the special virtue of this book was that, apart from being the first fully-researched book on the subject, the author was able to look at baby battering as an outsider, seeing the picture as a whole.
