Voice America Talk Radio Network, Internet broadcasting pioneer, producing and syndicating online audio and video, today announced that psychotherapist, internationally renowned litigation expert and lecturer on abuse in upscale marriages, Dr. Susan Weitzman, will join Dr. Paula Joyce host of Uplift Your Life: Nourishment of the Spirit radio program on the VoiceAmerica 7th Wave Channel http://www.voiceamerica.com/channel/250/voiceamerica-7th-wave Thursday, October 9 at 8 AM Pacific Time.

Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWire) -- 10/08/2014 --Susan Weitzman, PhD, authored the ground breaking book, Not to People like Us: Hidden Abuse in Upscale Marriages, which identifies the unique tactics and characteristics of domestic abuse in upscale marriages. She was featured on Oprah, 20/20, NPR and The Chicago Tribune when her book launched and recently in The Daily Beast and on First Business responding to the recent NFL scandal. She will share with us her broad and deep understanding of why people stay in abusive relationships. Possibly more important, she will help us discover how people can choose to leave abuse and what we can do as friends, colleagues, family and members of a broader community to support the abused individual. When we do nothing, we are all complicit. For a person caught in abuse to leave such a relationship, they need help in seeing the truth and support when they leave.

This is an international problem, not a problem just for the individual. When one of us suffers, we all suffer. All too often therapists, businesses and family systems give the power to the abuser. As a community, we can change this. Dr. Susan will help us see the issues from a broader perspective.

Dr. Susan Weitzman is now working on a second book exploring new ways to counter the use of the courts by the abuser to harass the partner. She is also: heading an Inter-Faith Initiative in suburban Illinois to increase awareness of upscale violence; developing programs for corporations on how to deal with domestic violence; and working on a documentary on upscale violence. A psychotherapist, litigation consultant and national lecturer with more than 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Weitzman is recognized internationally as an expert witness on upscale domestic violence and its impact. http://www.theweitzmancenter.org
