Daughters Healing from Family Mobbing: Stories and Approaches to Recover from Shunning, Aggression, and Family Violence

"Dr. Sellers brilliantly demonstrates the common source of forced child marriages, female infanticide, genital mutilation, breast ironing, bride burning, honor crimes, widow rejection, and LGBTQIA2S+ scapegoating abandonment—and names it 'Family Mobbing.' Daughters Healing from Family Mobbing offers strategies and resources for healing from family tyranny. Opening a new, badly needed conversation, this book promises to become a feminist classic."—Sally Roesch Wagner, PhD, founder of The Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation and author of We Want Equal Rights "Daughters Healing from Family Mobbing offers wisdom and truth to all who are determined to stop repeating the past and allowing abuse to consume humans by destroying families. This book gives men and women alike acceptance into a family that understands and helps to mend broken souls. I applaud Dr. Sellers’s accomplishment of a monumental and much-needed, timely text." —MariJo Moore, poet, anthologist, medium, and author of Power of the Storm “Sellers alerts us to the cruelty of Family Mobbing and, importantly, tells us howsurvivors can heal. An essential read for veteran therapists as well as those in training.”—PAULINE BOSS, professor emeritus at the University of Minnesota and author of The Myth of Closure"La lectura de Daughters Healing from Family Mobbing es una experiencia profunda y conmovedora. Y es una experiencia grupal porque Stephanie Sellers siembra su libro de voces de muchos y muchas. Porque lo que cuentan esas voces revela la realidad oculta del acoso intrafamiliar y muestra los caminos posibles hacia la curación. [. . .] Desde mi propia experiencia en la secundaria, cuando la palabra “bullying” no existía, entiendo en el cuerpo lo que hace el libro. Sellers y las otras voces nombran el problema, lo describen cuidadosamente. Después, lo enfrentan. [. . .] Gracias, Stephanie, por esta escritura coral, por este mapa del infierno y del camino hacia el alivio, hacia la vida."—Márgara Averbach, Doctora en Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires[Translation]: "Reading Daughters Healing from Family Mobbing is a profound and moving experience, and it is a group experience because Stephanie Sellers sows her book with the voices of many, because these voices proclaim the unseen reality of family mobbing and point to the possibilities that exist for healing. . . . I appreciate to my core what this book is doing because of my own experience in secondary school, when the word “bullying” did not yet exist. Sellers and the other voices name the problem and painstakingly describe it. Then, they confront it. . . . Thank you, Stephanie, for this choral writing, for this roadmap of hell and the path to relief and new life."—Márgara Averbach, PhD, retired professor, University of Buenos Aires
