Title: Propogates Myths of Domestic Violence -- AVOID!
Review: This book is of low quality and is not based on any scientific knowledge or research. In the first chapter, the author refers to an alcoholic man "slapping his wife around" but then states that the man did not "seriously" harm his wife. (???). ALL forms of domestic violence are serious. A slap in the wrong place can cause serious damage to the human body. Slapping leads to more damaging forms of abuse 100 percent of the time. Finally, a "mere" slap causes extremely harmful psychological damage to the abused partner.Then the author goes on to state that it was the husband's alcoholism that caused the violence. WRONG!!! Anyone with any knowledge at all of the subject of domestic violence knows that alcoholism does not CAUSE the abuse. Removing the addiction to alcohol cannot, and does not, stop the abuse.Anyone who wants proof of my statements can call their local domestic violence shelter for free information.
