soundssimpleright:ivanberk:appropriately-inappropriate:hellomissmayhem:gaywitchesforabortions:tehbewilderness:the-fly-agaric:bajo-el-mar:Reading about abusive men and the way they think. Very unsettling and an incredible book so far. Here are my very professional notes.what book is this?This is from “Why Does He DO That” by Lundy Bancroft.I’m so glad I’m seeing more and more Lundy Bancroft quotes on my dash because this book CHANGES THE LIVES OF ABUSE VICTIMS.The programs run for rehabilitating abusive men through the courts? Bancroft DESIGNED THEM. His programs are replicated ALL OVER THE WORLD.He literally wrote THE book on abuser rehabilitation.Here’s a link to a pdf copy. If you haven’t read this book yet, read this book.Can we talk about how it seems like the entirety of the book is online on PDF, this making it accessible to anyone with an internet connection? That is how we stop abuse. We enable everyone to know what it looks like, so that when it happens, they can shut it down.New link, old one is broken.Further emphasizing the point that abuse isn’t a mental illness, but a learned set of behaviors that serve the abusive person and are reinforced by the way others respond to them. -- source link
