Why Does He Do That?

Résumé du livre

Lundy Bancroft has worked in the fields of abuse, trauma, and recovery for over 25 years. In addition to working with abusive men as a counselor, Bancroft has served as a custody evaluator and child abuse investigator. He’s also the author of five books, including When Dad Hurts Mom (2005) and The Batterer as Parent (2013), which examine the impact of domestic violence on families.

The main idea in these summaries: Different forms of abuse exist and it is not only limited to physical violence. Abusive conduct includes any behavior that belittles, shames, manipulates, or intimidates another individual. The challenge lies in addressing abuse; it may require a lifetime for an abuser to change his ways, depending on his willingness to change. Practical suggestion: Be attentive to whether his "transformed" attitude is genuine. Abusers are quite cunning. They can portray themselves as reformed individuals when, in reality, they have not changed at all. So, if an abuser claims to have turned over a new leaf, don't easily believe him. If he still fails to fully take accountability for his actions, or respects your autonomy, chances are he still has a lot to work on. Remember – if you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship, seek assistance. Explore local support options. Consult with friends and family. You do not have to face abuse by yourself.
