We, the editors, dedicate this book to: Diana E.H. Russell,
trailblazer in addressing the issue of intimate partner
sexual violence (IPSV), and the survivors of IPSV who
have fallen through the service provision cracks, or been
actively harmed and further endangered when they
reached out for professional help. We hope this will no
longer be the case.
