Negative Positive
Title: Feminist View Of Abuse
Review: As a professional counselor I appreciated that the author did not offer excuses for any type of abuse. Much of what he said is very true. However, this book is written from a feminist prospective. To the casual reader any behavior of a male can be misconstrued as abusive.Likewise, he does not discuss the issues of verbal and/or physical female abuse, On page 97 and in chapter 5 he actually implies that if a male claims to be the victim of an abusive female that he probably was (and is) abusive. He also suggest that a man who questions a woman's assertion of abuse is likewise an abuser.This book may help a codependent woman to finally come to her senses and leave an abusive situation. However, it may result in some men getting falsely accused of abuse by a Borderline wife or significant other.
