Summary

Donal D Dutton Ph.D.
This influential book provides an innovative framework for understanding and treating intimate partner violence. Integrating a variety of theoretical and empirical perspectives, Donald G. Dutton demonstrates that male abusiveness is more than just a learned pattern of behavior—it is the out-growth of a particular personality configuration. He illuminates the development of the abusive personality from early childhood to adulthood and presents an evidence-based treatment approach designed to meet this population’s unique needs. This edition features two new chapters on the neurobiological roots of abusive behavior and the development of abusiveness in females.
