How He Gets Into Her Head: The Mind of the Male Intimate Abuser

By: Don Hennessy

4.35

Format: 274 pages, Paperback

Presenting some groundbreaking ideas, this book prompts a radical reappraisal of how we think about…

"What we found out by listening to the abusers was that these abusers began the abuse on the day they first met the woman."

-Don Hennessy, How He Gets Into Her Head: The Mind of the Male Intimate Abuser

"These tactics are initiated if the abuser wants to explore the possibility of a lasting relationship and if he feels that the particular woman would be susceptible to such tactics."

-Don Hennessy, How He Gets Into Her Head: The Mind of the Male Intimate Abuser

"Before the abuser initiates contact with a prospective long-term intimate partner he has already developed some very strong beliefs and attitudes. In his own mind he knows what he needs from an intimate relationship and he is convinced that he is entitled to have these needs met. He is also convinced that these needs outweigh any cost to his prospective partner."

-Don Hennessy, How He Gets Into Her Head: The Mind of the Male Intimate Abuser

"…it is easier for us to examine the behaviour of the victim than it is for us to challenge the perpetrator. This may be because the victim, be it male or female, is more likely to present to our services and thus become a burden on our resources. As a community we try to limit our involvement by getting the victim to cooperate in his/her own safety. When the abuse continues we conveniently blame the victim for his/her lack of cooperation."
