Silverman, Ph.D., Director, Violence Prevention Programs, Harvard School of Public Health</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for Lundy Bancroft and <i>Why Does He Do That?</i></b><i><br></i><br>"Bancroft has opened a window into the thinking of abusive men, and his book helps open a door out of abusive relationships."--Gavin de Becker, <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The Gift of Fear</i> and <i>Fear Less</i> <p/>"Most books about abuse in relationships focus on women--how they're hurt, why they stay. As important as these questions are, they can also distract us from the heart of the problem. Bancroft boldly asks--and brilliantly answers--the most important questions of all: Why do so many men abuse women? What can be done about it? This book is desperately needed and long overdue."--Jackson Katz, creator of the award-winning video <i>Tough Guise: Violence, Media and the Crisis in Masculinity <p/></i>"This fascinating investigation into what makes abusive men tick is alarming but its candid handling of a difficult subject makes it a valuable resource for professionals and victims alike...Jargon-free analysis is frequently broken up by interesting first-person accounts and boxes that distill in-depth information into simple checklists. Bancroft's book promises to be a beacon of calm for many storm-tossed families."--<i><i>Publishers Weekly</i></i> <p/> "Bancroft, a former codirector of Emerge, the first U.S. program for abusive men, and a 15-year veteran of work with abusive men, reminds readers that each year in this country, two to four million women are assaulted by their partners and that at least one out of three American women will be a victim of violence by a husband or boyfriend at some point in her life. His valuable resource covers early warning signs, ten abusive personality types, the abusive mentality, problems with getting help from the legal system, and the long, complex process of change...This is essential reading for those in the helping professions and highly recommended."--<i>Library Journal<br></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Lundy Bancroft</b> has over twenty-five years of experience in the fields of abuse, trauma, and recovery.
