Lundy Bancroft has written what is probably the most comprehensive and readable book on domestic violence, the beliefs of the abuser and the dynamics of abuse. This truly is a MUST READ for anyone seriously trying to understand the dynamics of domestic violence and abuse and how to cope with living in or leaving an abusive relationship. In fact, THIS is one of the only two or three books which we (staff at Hidden Hurt, and forum members) ALWAYS recommend a new DV victim or survivor reads. Currently available as Paperback, Kindle and in Audio format: To order in the US: Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men To order in the UK: Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling MenIf you have read this book and would like to leave a comment about it for the benefit of other HH Forum visitors, please do!

Before I read this book,and after reading several other books on verbal and emotional abuse,I was not sure what was going on in my marraige.After reading this book,I am sure .There is no doubt.I wish I had read this 10 years ago,when i first married.The author portrays several different types of abusive men--my husband is there.Your husband will be too, if you suspect you are being abused in some way.Or,the book will clear up for you whether it is abuse or not.This book is a diamond, a must have read,for any woman who does not understand why her husband acts the way he does.Through understanding the abuser,and his methods, his power over you is gone.He keeps you confused deliberatley,but this book blows that away.Even if you are too scared to take the book home, keep it at a freind's house and read it!!It has changed my life.I feel strong and most of all,clear and certain.There are lots of other books on the subject but this one is unique because it leaves no room for doubt.And to know that what is happening is true and it IS him,not YOU, gives you back your self esteem and hope for the future.Read it and be free from his influence.Look at your husband in his true light.
