Sinopsis

Physical violence may be the most overt manifestation of relationship abuse, but maltreatment of intimate partners takes many other forms as well. This integrative work explores the nature of male abusiveness by focusing on the development of a particular personality constellation - one that is easily threatened, jealous and fearful, and that masks these emotions with anger and demands for control. Presenting results of controlled research with over 400 batterers, Donald Dutton shows that many abusers exhibit high levels of trauma symptoms. This symptomatology is cogently linked to elements of childhood experience including witnessing of violence, the use of shaming techniques by parents and insecure attachment and, in turn, to such characteristics as terror of abandonment and the inability to regulate one's emotions or deal with conflict effectively. A concluding chapter focuses on treatment. This text should be of interest to psychologists, psychiatrists, family therapists, social workers, forensic professionals, and students and researchers in these areas.

Cr�ticas

"Who says there is no progress in social science, especially in predicting who is likely to become chronically violent? Distilling 20 years of research on men who assault their female partners, Dutton has produced a seminal paradigm for understanding the origins, development, and occurrence of intimate aggressive behavior. Among only a handful of books of similar influence in the field of applied social psychology, I predict this work will guide thinking and research in this emerging area for some time to come."--Ehor Boyanowsky, PhD, School of Criminology, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada "By far the best text on the male batterer written to date. Dutton's conceptualization of the psychology of male batterers is firmly grounded in the broader clinical psychology and psychiatric literature as well as his 20 years of extensive domestic violence research and clinical work. This book is a 'must read' for any clinician working with perpetrators or victims of violence. I am convinced that this book will stand the test of time and is destined to be a classic text on this issue." --Daniel Jay Sonkin, PhD, Psychotherapist, Sausalito, California, author of Learning to Live without Violence: A Handbook for Men "Perhaps the most enlightening chapter for many readers is the chapter on psychotherapy with abusive men, which serves as a brief treatment manual....This book is state-of-the-art in its information, from a man whose resume includes having been an expert witness in the O. J. Simpson case....An informed and valuable work on a subject of great current interest." --"Cleveland Psychological Association" "Provides a sweeping examination of research and theory with an eye toward intervention and change....This volume contains a wealth of very useful material, including schematic diagrams illustrating points and hypothesized relationships, clear tables, copies of measurement instruments, ten pages of references, and endnotes. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." --"Choice" "Dutton makes his book interesting by telling us how his theory evolved as he conducted his research. The story about how a researcher goes about testing and refining theories is one that would be very educational for graduate and serious undergraduate students....This book will be of interest to those who study wife assault regardless of theoretical persuasion. Dutton's research is summarized well in this volume and his findings need to be accounted for in any theory." --Canadian Psychology "Promises to have a wide influence on practice and research with domestic violence perpetrators....Makes an important contribution to our understanding of domestic violence. It provides an integrative and theoretically rich perspective on the not-so-obvious psychological aspects of domestic violence perpetrators." --"Contemporary Psychology" "In this comprehensive, theoretically and empirically soundbook, Donald Dutton expands on the leading models of domestic abuse by focusing on the personality structure of male batterers." --"Journal of Marriage and the Family" .,."by far the best study of the male abuser in print. It is startling in the depth of understanding it displays of one particular type of male batterer, the puzzling man who abuses his domestic partner but appears to have no difficulty controlling his anger with others. Dutton's current understanding of the abusive personality is informed by prodigious research of his own, informed appreciation of the work of others, and a personal intellectual journey of discovery....this is an important book that can be of real value to all professionals concerned with the problem of domestic violence." --"Families In Society" "The treatment chapter is an excellent demonstration of the application of the author's research findings to a group intervention for male batterers....This is a very readable book that would be useful as a text in a wide range of both undergraduate and graduate courses. Research methods, including statistical analysis, are explained very clearly and simply, and the author presents each of the study instruments in its entirety. Likewise, figures are generously employed to delineate theoretical relationships among variables....this book is an impressive contribution to our understanding of the origins, development, and occurrence of male aggression toward female intimates. The findings, grounded in the broader psychology and psychiatric literature, provide a developmental profile that should enhance prevention, intervention, and treatment efforts. In addition, this volume would seem to be an essentialresource for other practitioners and policymakers interested in domestic violence, as well as those who research the topic." --"Journal of Social and Personal Relationships"

Descripci�n de la librer�a

Sharing is the best surprise When we share our excess with others we�re often surprised by what we feel, what changes in us, and who we get to know in the process. Sharehouse Goods exists to create that experience for as many people as possible. Sharehouse Goods receives excess stuff from individuals or organizations (our sharers), and then we liquidate that stuff, creating jobs for people in Milwaukee. The process is simple: we receive what people are willing to share, and then we sell it online or at our storefront, creating revenue for the sharers (to keep or to donate), and jobs for people who are struggling to find employment. There�s a lot of sharing going on, and even more surprises, at Sharehouse Goods.
