This chapter brings into question one of the basic assumptions operating in the public mental health field today : that mental illness is biological or genetic in origin and is therefore treatable primarily by symptom control or management . A case study of my daughter Anna, a victim of early childhood sexual trauma, is used to demonstrate the need for inclusion in the field of an additional view of the etiology of mental illness . Forces supporting the emergence of a new trauma paradigm are highlighted. ANNA'S STORYFrom the age of 13 to her recent death at the age of 32, Anna was viewed and treated by the mental health system as "severely and chronically mentally ill ." Communication about who she was, how she was perceived and treated, and how she responded took place through NOTE ; e reader is forewarned that to provide a realistic account of Anna's experience and her attempts to communicate it to others, explicit language and graphic descriptions of her behavior are included.

Domestic violence is a dangerous and prevalent social problem affecting up to 4 million women and countless children annually. Shelters offer safety and an opportunity for change during the crisis of family violence. These individuals also have the potential for retraumatization if leadership within the program recapitulates the abuse and coercion felt at home. This article reviews three related trends through the lens of power and control--domestic violence policy and service, models of leadership, and the study of traumatic stress disorders and recovery--and describes their implications for modern shelter service delivery.
