Why Does He Do That? Lundy Bancroft—a counselor who specializes in working with abusive men—uses his knowledge about how abusers think to help women recognize when they are being controlled or devalued, and to find ways to get free of an abusive relationship. Although not written from a Christian perspective, Lundy, a man, is well qualified to deal with these questions, having been involved as a counselor and evaluator (for court) in thousands of cases.
