Lundy is a TERF.
This book might have some beneficial insight, given its popularity.
I personally cannot trust an author who holds those views to be a consistently enough sound source of insight, and I will read other books in Lundy's place.

This book details domestic abuse, including emotional and physical violence. There are certain sections that discuss child abuse, substance abuse. The author occasionally uses ableist language (e.g. calling abusers' behaviour crazy or insane, despite asserting that abuse is not a mental health problem)tacita's review against another edition

This book is considered required reading for a reason. It discusses how abusive men think and gives no excuses for their behavior. It helped me to understand the abuse my family members went through and the mindset of the men that abused them. I plan on getting a physical copy and re-reading.crybabybea's review against another edition

Some bits were shocking to me, but it was valuable for me to learn what to look out for, and to learn strategies to help partners of abusers.
Despite being 20 years old this book is unfortunately still relevant today.
I fully intend to continue my learning journey with more resources from this book.
