Author Biography: Adam Edwa Jukes

Book Synopsis

Men who Batter Women presents a unique psycho-analytic perspective on clinical studies of the roots of male violence towards women.
Most published work concentrates on the experiences of the female victims of domestic violence. This book is unusual in that it focuses on the male perpetrators. Adam Edward Jukes considers both feminist approaches to male violence and those perspectives that treat such violent behaviour as pathological. The author suggests the practical implications of his research for clinical treatment and explores how effectively psychotherapy can be used to treat men who batter women.
