As a survivor (not a victim) of domestic violence, and as a group leader of a support group, as well as an evaluator of risk, I am delighted and amazed with this book. This is as good as it gets! He understands and expresses the exhaustion, horror, and real danger women in domestic violence face in a way I've never before encountered in print. For example, he describes how men campaign to get the admiration of others, including her family and friends, and how they manipulate even the court system. How children, especially male kids, are apt to react is well-done as well. Without hesitation we read that Freud was an abuse apologist and that psychologists are still trained to think that way. The title is not the greatest, but the information is. This book contains the best list of resources I've ever seen in one place. If there were to be one book about domestic violence on your shelf, make it "Why Does He Do That..." the single best book on the subject ever written.

I can add just one thing to the other rave reviews of this powerful book. I found it interesting to see that 'couples therapy' is NOT the answer, and WHY. In fact, it plays right into his hands.
This is an amazing, liberating (can i still use that word?) book. get it b4 your sense of self escapes any farther and your ego sinks any lower!

This book was a real eye-opener for me. I finally am starting to understand what in the world was going on in my relationship with my ex-husband. My book is currently on loan to my therapist. After she reads it she will likely be recommending it to several of her clients!

This book lays it out so clearly it will be very difficult for anyone to unknowingly get involved with an abuser. I was always allowing abusers the freedom to continue to abuse by believing and trusting in them. Early awareness is the key. My trouble now is ignoring their constant attempts at contact. They are baffled to be caught! I feel lighter than a feather.
