Presenting some ground-breaking ideas, this book prompts a radical
reappraisal of how we think about and understand male intimate
abuse and violence. Over the last fifty years an array of resources
and interventions have been brought to bear on domestic violence
and abuse between intimate partners. Yet intimate abuse continues
to be endemic in our society. One of the principal reasons for this
lack of effective intervention is that we have ignored a critical
ingredient which is the foundation of long-term intimate abuse and
violence. This book uncovers the layers of covert tactics which men
employ to establish and maintain control over their intimate
partner. By deepening our understanding of what is going on the
author suggests that we can develop a more efficient and consistent
response to the issue. Working with both the perpetrators and
victims of intimate partner abuse has given the author a unique
insight into the tactics employed by the male abuser. He suggests
that male intimate abuse and violence are driven by an entitlement
to sexual priority and that the other tactics of control and
violence are motivated by this entitlement. It is this motivation
that distinguishes male intimate violence from other forms of
'domestic violence' such as female to male violence and elder
abuse. The author details the similarities in tactics and
motivation between the paedophile and the male intimate abuser. He
has found that by explaining these tactics to victims he has
released many of them from the mind-control that they have
experienced.
