This book entered my life exactly when I needed it! Discussion of Susan Weitzman abuse in the top weddings of the scale was exactly what I was to help me cope and understand what was going on in my divorce requires a billionaire. After 16 years of violence, my decision to leave my husband was only the beginning of a nightmare. His threats to ruin me, take our child to destroy my life, have been combined with my computer and listening to legal maneuvers to ensure that I could not leave. In addition, several mistresses and hidden bank accounts were. Susan book is a great read for anyone going through a divorce to a man emotionally / physically abused rich. It should be required reading for divorce attorneys and judges.
“The upscale violence”: a term coined by Dr. Susan Weitzman, a psychotherapist practicing in Chicago, refers to the physical and / or emotional often hidden, supported, well-referenced using the married women in his pioneering study. “No People Like Us: Hidden Abuse in the top area weddings,” says Dr. Weitzman has a narrow lens. It offers a unique contribution to the literature on domestic violence: Its work is based on years of experience, is based both work in women’s shelters and counseling abused women. Through a combination of case studies of these women still poignant and punished by an analysis and review of the literature on severe domestic violence, Dr. Weitzman and this proves a strong thesis. It debunks the myth that domestic violence is correlated with the status of the lower classes, and at the same time, steers the hostility that some of his colleagues have heaped on him to select this particular population. “A unique aspect of this book is the” “target battered women means dimension …. [which] is not a claim that people need attention” inclusion, Weitzman says, but “[r] ather, it is an attempt” specifically, “including high-end women who were neglected in the largest group of women who are victims of violence.”
Who are these women? They are well educated, with at least a bachelor’s degree, they live in the top 25% of districts in the country, they consider themselves upper middle class or upper class and their combined marital income over $ 100,000.00. Although Dr. Weitzman defines the “Profile” the man violent upscale, it is not involved in male shots. It correctly identified domestic violence as a systemic problem. The Annexes of his book: “Are you a battered woman”, “Traits of a violent man”, “mark” and “domestic violence resources” is the only reason to buy. Therefore, this book belongs in every library, a women’s shelter, emergency room, and the office of the psychotherapist.
Despite the strengths of the work of Dr. Weitzman and their contribution to the literature on domestic violence, as a publisher, I feel compelled to offer constructive criticism. “Nobody Like Us” lack of organization. In an effort to make the dramatic book (and it’s a quick read), the case studies are closely related to the history, theory, diagrams, classical mythology and psychoanalysis, which is why it is difficult is related follow the thread of life of a every woman. A more traditional approach to formally present case studies at the beginning of the book so that the reader can help if needed. In addition, Dr. Weitzman limited its population fourteen women, which is a very small sample, but clear and convincing his right to do so. Finally, the attentive reader will find references littered with annoying errors, references and index, as is often the case when a doctor working in the publication is precipitated. It is difficult to recognize which kind of manual have been followed, if appropriate (for example, “The Chicago Manual of Style” or “Manual of the APA”). (There are also several places in the text of the final exam, but I hesitated to comment because I do mistakes in almost all of the comments.) Another important book, which again creates reality of domestic violence is “But I love “by Dr. Jill Murray. Dr. Murray focuses on the dominant behavior of the abusive behavior toward their teen girlfriends friends. This book fits well with the book of Dr. Weitzman, because it seems to prevent by force. To be truly informed about this social evil, we must also read books by psychologist Lenore Walker, “battered woman” and “battered woman syndrome”. These books introduce the concept of the three-stage cycle of violence: the scene voltage rise, the explosive phase and the honeymoon phase (a step that Dr. Weitzman found not exist in the high-violence).
I do not want, that people like us were written nine years ago, I think my self-esteem, my daughter and I, I would have spared a lot of pain. Dr. Weitzman book is inspiring and shows considerable concern for women, it worked. As a sociologist, I found his research to be original, and we hope to start work in this area, too little studied thusfar. Insightful explanations why women like me are in abusive relationships and theoretical exploration of abusive husbands (suffering from narcissistic personality disorder) may help to understand how I stayed in my marriage and how I like my men ex-husband could not deal with their women so cruel. It was a long way back from the recovery of the abuse I thought (at the time) had happened to me. I felt very alone and isolated and, as Mr. Weitzman has aptly described, had no one to confirm my feelings or encourage me. This book should be given to every girl and every young son to read perhpaps. I thought it was a very moving, delivered fresh, well-written and informative, long overdue.
