I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH angry and controlling men for fifteen years as a counselor, evaluator, and investigator, and have accumulated a wealth of knowledge from the two thousand or more cases with which I have been involved.
Why Does He Do That PDF – Lundy Bancroft
I have learned the warning signs of abuse. And control that a woman can watch out for early in a relationship. I have seen clues to recognizing when verbal and emotional aggression are heading toward violence. Why Does He Do That PDF
I’ve found ways to separate abusive men who are faking change from those who are doing some genuine work on themselves. And I have learned that the problem of abusiveness has surprisingly little to do with how a man feels—my clients actually differ very little from nonabusive men in their emotional experiences—and everything to do with how he thinks. The answers are inside his mind.
The purpose of this book is to equip women with the ability to protect themselves, physically and psychologically, from angry and controlling men. To prepare for writing this book, I first generated a list of the twenty-one questions that women most often ask me about their abusive partners, questions such as: “Is he really sorry?”

“Why do so many of our friends side with him?” “Is he going to hit me someday?” and many others. I then built my explanations around these concerns to make sure that women would be able to look here to find the information they urgently need. Why Does He Do That PDF
You will find these twenty-one questions highlighted as you go through this book. You might want to flip through the pages for a moment now just to grab a quick glimpse of where I have addressed the issues that are most pressing for you.
Another central goal of mine is to offer assistance to each woman who is struggling with how she is being treated in a relationship, regardless of what label she may put on her partner’s behavior. Words like control and abuse can be loaded ones, and you may not feel that they fit your particular circumstances.

I have chosen to use the term abusers to refer to men who use a wide range of controlling, devaluing, or intimidating behaviors. In some cases, I am talking about physical batterers and at other times about men who use or insult their partners but never frighten or intimidate them. Why Does He Do That PDF
Some of the men I describe in the pages ahead change moods so drastically and so often that a woman could never feel sure what they are like, much less attach a label. Your partner may be arrogant, or may play mind games, or may act selfishly over and over again, but his better aspects may make you feel that he is miles away from being an “abuser.”
Please don’t let my language put you off. I have simply chosen the word abuser as a shorthand way of saying “men who chronically make their partners feel mistreated or devalued.” You can adopt a different term if you know one that fits your partner better. But whatever style of mistreatment your partner uses, rest assured that you will find in these pages the answers to many questions that have perplexed you.
