Praise for Lundy Bancroft and Why Does He Do
That?
"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, New York Times bestselling author of The Gift of
Fear and Fear Less
"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 Tough Guise: Violence, Media
and the Crisis in Masculinity "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."--Publishers
Weekly "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."--Library Journal
