The Batterer - by Donald G Dutton & Susan K Golant (Paperback)

About the Book

Drawing on his studies of more than 700 abusive men, Sutton here paints a dramatic and startling portrait of the man who assaults his intimate partner, such as admitted abusers like Joel Steinberg and O.J. Simpson. With dramatic case histories that shed light on the dark secrets of spousal abuse, "The Batterer" provides the missing link to show how men can harm the women they love and how we can begin to put an end to violence behind closed doors.

Book Synopsis

What kind of man deliberately hurts the woman he loves? Drawing on his pathbreaking studies of more than seven hundred abusive men, as well as therapy with hundreds more, Dutton paints a dramatic and surprising portrait of the man who assaults his intimate partner.
