This book is so insightful as to how abusive men think and act. It was challenging to read from how heavy it got at times and the topic of abuse and the victims of abuse is never an easy pill to shallow. I would recommend this book to everyone

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book, it left me with multiple perspectives on the topic of domestic abuse and how many things contribute to both abuse and solving and giving justice to issues of abuse. Although I do wonder how updated this book is on stats such as how many men are abused by women, as the author does claim it's rare, I do think the perspectives and information he highlights is very important for everyone to know, both men and women.

While severely biased toward the assumption of male-on-female dynamics, the actual descriptions of abusive behaviors are invaluable and specific.
