Perfect for you if...

You're in a relationship where you constantly question what you've done wrong, even when you know you haven't.
You suspect someone you care about is being abused and want to understand what's actually happening beneath the surface.
You've left an abusive relationship and need to make sense of the patterns so history doesn't repeat.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for a book that promises abusers can change their core thinking through love or patience.
You need crisis support right now rather than insight into dynamics and patterns.
You're not ready to face hard truths about a relationship you're still emotionally invested in.

Lundy Bancroft, a counselor specializing in work with abusive men, draws on his professional experience to help women identify controlling and devaluing behavior in relationships and develop strategies for leaving abusive situations. The book examines how abusers think and provides information on early warning signs of abuse, the nature of abusive thinking, common myths about abusers, ten abusive personality types, the role of drugs and alcohol in abuse, what can and cannot be changed in an abuser, and how to safely exit an abusive relationship.
