Why Does He Do That?

Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men

"He doesn't mean to hurt me — he just loses control." "He can be sweet and gentle." "He's scared me a few times, but he never hurts the children — he's a great father." "He's had a really hard life..."

Women in abusive relationships tell themselves these things every day. Now they can see inside the minds of angry and controlling men — and change their own lives. In this groundbreaking book, Lundy Bancroft, a counselor who specializes in working with abusive men, uses his thirty years of experience to help women recognize when they are being controlled or devalued, and to find ways to get free of an abusive relationship.

Among the important topics addressed are the early warning signs of abuse, the nature of abusive thinking, myths about abusers, ten abusive personality types, the role of drugs and alcohol, what can be fixed and what can't, and how to leave an abusive relationship safely.
