Now in a thoroughly revised and expanded second edition, this influential book provides an innovative framework for understanding and treating intimate partner violence. Drawing on a variety of theoretical and empirical perspectives, the author traces the development of the male abusive personality from early childhood to adulthood. The book concludes by presenting a cognitive-behavioral group treatment program designed to meet this population's unique needs. In the second edition, the theoretical model has been refined and all chapters have been updated to reflect advances in attachment, trauma research, and other areas. Two new chapters address the neurobiological roots of abusive behavior and the development of abusiveness in females.
