Men: Was Your Last Relationship Abusive? Although it is a little
known fact, men as well as women are abused in relationships. Many men in abusive
relationships either don't realize they are being abused or can not admit, even to
themselves, that a woman could abuse them.
Verbal as well as physical abuse by women is the reason behind some divorces and
relationship endings, even if that reason is never given or even realized by the men and
women involved. |

This eye-opening book begins by examining the most common misconceptions about the issue of male abuse. After laying the groundwork for a serious reconsideration of how society thinks about domestic violence, Cook allows a number of abused men to tell their stories. He then puts these experiences in the context of what therapists and others who have worked with such men know about domestic violence and how the male victim is similar to, yet different from, his female counterpart. Cook shows how the abused man, his friends and family, and the abusive or abused woman can come to grips with domestic violence. |
