The Abusive Personality: Violence and Control in Intimate RelationshipsGuilford Publications, 6 ago 1998 - 214 pagine This thoroughly documented work demonstrates that male abusiveness is more than just a learned pattern of behavior - it is the outgrowth of a particular personality configuration. Findings from the author's research with over 400 batterers are integrated with the literature on object relations, attachment, and psychological trauma to trace the development of the abusive personality from early childhood to adulthood. Helping readers better understand the causes of abusiveness and the subjective experience of these men, the book has vital implications for research, prevention, and treatment. |
