In Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men, Lundy Bancroft explains various ways abusers behave toward their targets starting with the basics that are common among all abusers. He also describes the types of abusive men including overt abusers, more covert abusers, and he includes multicultural variables. Chapters include information about how abuse starts, how abusers behave in public versus private, abusive men as parents, how abusive men use the legal system, a chapter for those who would ally with abuse targets, and more. Ultimately, Bancroft provides enough information and reinforcement through the end of chapter 'Key Points to Remember' that coming to terms with the realities of abuse may be somewhat easier. This is a well-rounded guide for those struggling to understand or beginning to awaken to the reality of an abusive relationship. It is also a valuable resource for anyone who would ally with abuse targets. Counselors could recommend this book to those who are struggling to come to terms with what is happening to them in their relationship when the counselor understands that they are being abused. Counselors could provide this book as a resource to enable the client to begin processing their experiences so that they will be able to work through them with their counselor, as needed. Counselors who have not experienced abuse may also benefit from the concision of descriptions as an educational tool to help them understand the variety of abusers and their methods.
