There is some really great stuff in here but I am hung up on the fact that he keeps repeating that only 1% of abusers are actually psychopaths and I am just flabbergasted at this. No dude. Just about every single one is a psychopath. It's actually the reverse where a small minority may not meet that criteria. Granted this book is very old but I still feel like even current research is not great about this. Men are scary. In my opinion only a small minority of them are safe to be around. I am one of those women who will choose the bear. I don't know how to look at the world any different way. This is the knowledge the world has provided for me.
