title: The impact of domestic violence on children: an adolescents' story.
abstract: The authors in this paper illustrate how growing up in a violent household impacts the emotional and psychological development of one college-aged student who confronts her father in a letter about his violent behavior as she was growing up. The Williams Assessment of Unresolved Issues (WAUI) survey instrument is briefly discussed as a tool in gathering data about violent episodes experienced by college-aged students during their childhood.
