About The Book

This poignant volume presents the first study of drawings of elementary-school-age children who have lived with domestic violence and who have, in many cases, been themselves the victims of violence. Avoiding the sensationalism often associated with such matters, the authors remain compassionate, investigative, and insightful as they provide vivid portraits of children who come from families suffering from severe dysfunctions. Sensitive and detailed vignettes powerfully convey the effects of family violence on the youngsters who become victims of brutality witnessed and brutality received. Silent Screams and Hidden Cries puts before the reader 50 drawings of human figures, families, trees, and houses produced over a two-year period by 18 children during their stay at the Safe Home for Abused Families. Each drawing is analyzed through an interpretive discussion. All of the drawings project these children’s serious emotional disturbances and alert the reader to their feelings of helplessness, powerlessness, fragmentation, depression, anger, and anxiety. Equally revealing is the way in which these drawings, coupled with the authors’ analyses, demonstrate how the family influences the child and how, in turn, the child frequently assumes a certain roll in order to sustain the family. This uniquely revealing volume provides the mental health professional with a remarkably effective way to become aware of and understand children traumatized by violence and to define the

therapeutic tasks. It will also help to sensitize the community to the effects that witnessing violence has on young children.
