Description
Understanding intimate partner violence requires a nuanced approach. This influential book provides an innovative framework for understanding and treating abusive relationships, integrating various theoretical and empirical perspectives to shed light on the development of male abusiveness.
The author, Donald G. Dutton, argues that male abusiveness is not just a learned pattern of behavior, but rather a complex personality configuration shaped by early childhood experiences. He presents an evidence-based treatment approach designed to meet the unique needs of individuals with abusive personalities.
The second edition features new chapters on the neurobiological roots of abusive behavior and its development in females, offering a comprehensive understanding of this complex issue.
