It is a fairly heavy topic but is extremely informative and helpful for both women and men.

cnsgirl's review against another edition

Lundy is Anti Vax.
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.

Should be required reading for all women, mental health professionals and those who work in related fields. A bit dated but still unbelievably valuable.

This book is so important. Perfect for survivors (past or present) as well as allies. You don’t even need to read the whole thing - just skip around to whatever applies to your situation. It also has a whole section of resources in the back.

challenging emotional informative sad slow-paced

This book gives insight into the behaviours and thinking of angry, controlling and abusive men. Namely that they have a sense of entitlement and disrespect for their partner and children, and that domestic abuse is not about losing control, or a consequence of mental health issues, substance abuse or trauma. It provides guidance for victims of domestic abuse in understanding their partner, keeping themselves and their children safe, leaving their partner if they want to, and noticing true signs of change. I highly recommend it to anybody to help them become better at understanding abuse, supporting victims and survivors, and working towards a society that does not codify abuse.

Moderate: Sexual assault, Child abuse, Drug use, and Alcoholism

Minor: Ableism

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)

dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

I think this should be required reading to be honest. Breaks down really clearly the what, how, and why of domestic violence. I don't think people are generally aware that it is a cycle, rather than constant negative interactions. It is a little dated as far as gender and pronouns go but the information is so valuable I don't mind. Deeply helpful tool for recovery I will return to.
