Why
Does He Do That?
If you are doubtful as to which book to read
about abusers, look no further because Lundy
Bancroft's book is IT. Everyone I told about
this book was thrilled with the gold mine of
information in it. Very well written, Bancroft is
a compassionate writer, researcher, teacher
to the victims of abuse. Only someone like Bancroft
who has worked with abusive types
for years would know this stuff. When they
said he was the leading expert in the field
they weren't kidding. Do you want to know
abusers inside and out? Get this book.

Healing
The Scars of Emotional Abuse
I found this one uncommonly wise, kind, and
helpful and sensible--you come away
with a grounded, helped feeling...hopeful, too.
I'm not crazy about the word "empowering,"
but this book is empowering, I think. If you're
looking for help in this area, this book is worth
reading.

a process as observable, and often as predictable,
