Summary: This book saved my life!
Comment: I was in a relationship that became abusive after a few months. I was alone in the USA, with very few options. This book literally saved my life! Dr Dutton described my partner's bahavior precisely, and showed me there was virtually no hope of his being able to change. Just knowing the aetiology of his problem was a great comfort. Once I understood what was going on - and could relinquish the dream of an "ideal" relationship, I was able to take action.I left (with the help of a few friends)before there was physical abuse.
My advice to women stuck in an abusive relationship: LEAVE!!
Do not stay. Give up the dream, and get on with your life alone. You do not need these men.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: I was a woman in a horribly abusive relationship searching for answers. I lived in constant fear. Then, I happened on this book and it changed my life. I was amazed that it seemed the author must have lived in my home. How else could someone so accurately describe my life? The information gave me power and hope. The book showed me that what was happening was not my fault. I was able to stand up and tell my husband to either get help or I was gone. I was able to stick to my guns. He never really got help but he did read the book. Amazingly the abuse stopped. He realized what he was doing and that he was a product of his environment. This book truly saved my life.

Summary: The Surreal Mind of the Abuser
Comment: A much-needed exposition of the habitual batterer's mind, based on hundreds of real-life cases. This book expels the myth that there is a "typical" abuser. There isn't. Abuse cuts across all professions, social-economic strata, levels of income and education, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and location.
To embark on our exploration of the abusive mind, we first need to agree on a taxonomy of abusive behaviours. Methodically observing abuse is the surest way of getting to know the perpetrators.
Abusers appear to be suffering from dissociation (multiple personality). At home, they are intimidating and suffocating monsters - outdoors, they are wonderful, caring, giving, and much-admired pillars of the community. Why this duplicity?
It is only partly premeditated and intended to disguise the abuser's acts. More importantly, it reflects the his inner world, where the victims are nothing but two-dimensional representations, objects, devoid of emotions and needs, or mere extensions of his self. Thus, to the abuser's mind, his quarries do not merit humane treatment, nor do they evoke empathy. Sam Vaknin, author of "Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited".
