Praise for Why Does He Do That? "Bancroft has opened a window into the thinking of abusive men, and his book helps open a door out of abusive relationships."--Gavin de Becker, New York Times bestselling author of The Gift of Fear and Fear Less "This is without a doubt the most informative and useful book yet written on the subject of abusive men."--Jay G. Silverman, PhD, director, Violence Prevention Programs, Harvard School of Public Health "Jargon-free analysis is frequently broken up by interesting first-person accounts and boxes that distill in-depth information into simple checklists. Bancroft's book promises to be a beacon of calm for many storm-tossed families."-- Publishers Weekly "Bancroft boldly asks--and brilliantly answers--the most important questions of all: Why do so many men abuse women? What can be done about it? This book is desperately needed and long overdue."--Jackson Katz, creator of the award-winning video Tough Guise: Violence, Media and the Crisis in Masculinity "This is essential reading for those in the helping professions and highly recommended."-- Library Journal "At last--the straight scoop on men who abuse women. This is a book not just for abused women and domestic violence professionals, but for everyone who wonders why there's so much violence in America. Read it."--Ann Jones, author of When Love Goes Wrong and Next Time, She'll Be Dead "Bancroft helps women who feel trapped in unhealthy relationships make sense out of what is happening."--Sarah Buel, JD, codirector, Domestic Violence Clinic, and lecturer, University of Texas Law School "A compelling read about a tough topic. What you read here will come back to you long after you put the book down."--Angela Browne, author of When Battered Women Kill "An informative and necessary read."--Susan Weitzman, PhD, author of Not to People Like Us: Hidden Abuse in Upscale Marriages, Praise for Why Does He Do That?

With seven themes designed to encourage and inspire, Daily Wisdom for Why Does He Do That? will help you digest what is happening one day at a time, so that you can gain clarity, safety, and freedom. You will see the truth in your destructive relationship. You and your children will survive.

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.

  • Best Resource for victims of Abuse! Help right from the first page!

    This is an excellent resource for those coming to the realization of or out of an Abusive relationship. It is helpful when one slips back into the old thinking to read almost any page and come back to reality. This book, along with its main book are some of the top MOST helpful books I have read dealing with this issue. THANKS- Many times over to the author. We needed you.

  • Must read for people with crazy making spouses

    This book is a very important read for anyone that lives with an emotional abuser. I wouldn't have believed a book would make such a difference. Whether you're planning to leave and need a little extra emotional help or you're stuck, this book will help. There is so much to learn and knowledge is power. Hide it if you must, read in little bits if necessary, but read it. It's not your fault and most people will judge you for being in the situation, which doesn't help. This book doesn't judge and it may become your best source of courage, comfort and support.
