The book is on agony of destitute women which highlights the psychological issues pertaining to stress and depression of destitute women in shelter homes. Very little efforts have been made earlier to understand the problems and concerns of these women. Its crucial to note that the issues of the staff who work in shelter homes were never taken care of. It has been observed that the understanding of psychosocial care has been very limited in these shelter homes. The staff led to the inadequate care and support and at times injustice to the inmates who have been victims of difficult circumstances. This book aims to, enable the care givers of the shelter homes to understand the needs of the women and give them an insight into the spectrum of psychosocial interventions. The investigator had visited many destitute homes in her college days which created an interest in her mind from her young age to work for these women. From her observations, she has found much psychological distress and depression present in destitute women.
