No Place for Abuse: Biblical & Practical Resources to Counteract Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is a leading cause of injury and death to women worldwide One in five women around the globe is physically or sexually abused in her lifetime, and gender violence causes more death and disability among women aged 15 to 44 than cancer, malaria, traffic accidents or war. Regrettably, the church is not immune to this problem; some studies suggest that incident rates of domestic violence among active churchgoers are not much lower than those among the general populace.Representing the International Task Force on Abuse, formed under the auspices of the Women's Commission of the World Evangelical Fellowship, Catherine Clark Kroeger and Nancy Nason-Clark have listened to the voices of women from around the world and especially to those within the church. Now they help us hear their cries and find concrete ways to respond so that no home will be a place of abuse.In this immensely helpful guide you'll find: - true stories and statistics that illustrate the gravity and extent of the domestic violence
- a look at what Scripture says about domestic violence, including verbal abuse and patterns of concealment, secrecy and silence
- a discussion of how proper concerns for Christian families can be twisted to endanger women and their children
- an assessment of alternatives to suffering in silence in a threatening environment
- practical tools for pastors and other counselors for interviewing abuse victims and perpetrators
- outlines for sermons, Bible studies and youth group activities that address the problem of domestic violence
No Place for Abuse is an essential book for pastors, counselors, church leaders, missionaries, evangelists, teachers--indeed, for anyone who wants to make a difference in women's lives..

Does caffeine counteract alcohol-induced impairment? The ironic effects of expectancy *.: An article from: Journal of Studies on Alcohol
This digital document is an article from Journal of Studies on Alcohol, published by Alcohol Research Documentation, Inc. on November 1, 2002. The length of the article is 7268 words. The page length shown above is based on a typical 300-word page. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Digital Locker immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser. From the author: Objective: Studies have shown that expectations of alcohol-induced impairment can produce adaptive responses to alcohol that reduce the degree of behavioral impairment displayed. The present study tested psychomotor performance following combined caffeine and alcohol administration in 42 social drinkers (23 men). Subjects were led to expect either that caffeine would antagonize alcohol-induced impairment or that it would have no effect. The study tested the hypothesis that drinkers who expected an antagonist effect of caffeine would display greyer alcohol impairment than those who expected no antagonist effect. Method: Groups practiced a pursuit rotor task and received a moderate dose of alcohol (0.65 g/kg) combined with either 4.0 mg/kg caffeine or placebo caffeine. Some groups were led to expect that caffeine would counteract the impairing effect of alcohol and others were led to expect no counteracting effect. Psychomotor performance was then tested over a 3-hour period. Results: In accord with the hypothesis, groups led to expect counteracting effects of caffeine displayed greater impairment than those led to expect no counteraction. Caffeine had no significant antagonist effect on alcohol impairment. Conclusions: The findings suggest that compensation for alcohol impairment occurs when drinkers hold clear expectations that the drug will disrupt performance. When no such clear expectation exists, no compensatory response occurs and the impairing effects of alcohol are observed. (J. Stud. Alcohol 63: 745-754, 2002) Citation DetailsTitle: Does caffeine counteract alcohol-induced impairment? The ironic effects of expectancy *. Author: Mark T.
