“An important and original book about violence” In this important book, suppressed in England, Pizzey argues that not every battered woman is simply a victim. To successfully reduce violence, Pizzy convincingly shows that domestic violence prevention workers must distinguish between the emotional terrorist, addicted to pain and provoking violence, and those truly seeking escape from violence. This is the successor to “Scream Quietly or the Neighbours Will Hear”, the first book on wife battering. It is a challenging must-read for all those dealing with family violence, policy-makers, family rights activists and anyone concerned about violence in society. The book contains the updated text of the original book, suppressed in England, minus outdated appendices, plus Pizzey’s new research and conclusions comparing battered women and violence-prone women. A separate section describes the “emotional terrorist”, a personality instantly recognizable to their targets. CONTENTS: The “emotional terrorist”, who she is and why she does it. A comparative scientific study of battered women and violence-prone women. * History of the first battered women’s shelter in the world (including virtually the full book “Prone to violence”) * Effects of violence on children * Violence and addiction– theory, data and the Connection. * Conflict-resolution solutions from a pioneer in dealing with domestic violence. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Erin Pizzey founded the world’s first shelter for battered wives in 1971. From that beginning there are now women's shelters all over the world. Over a period of ten years, Erin Pizzey became involved with over 5,000 women and their children who came through her shelter. This book is the core of her thinking and conclusions on domestic violence. She has completed two world tours lecturing on domestic violence. A writer and a journalist, she has written: Scream Quietly or the Neighbors Will Hear (also done as a film of the same name), Infernal Child and The Slut's Cookbook. Pizzey's fiction writing includes The Watershed, In the Shadow of the Castle, The Pleasure Palace, First Lady, The Consul General's Daughter, The Snow Leopard of Shanghai, Other Lovers, Swimming with Dolphins, For the Love of a Stranger, Kisses and The Wicked World of Women.

Wow... that's a side I never thought about

ByJeff Williamson January 28, 2005

Format: Paperback

Basically, Erin Pizzey, setup the first refuge for battered wives in 71. Eventually she saw some of the women that were emotionally abusive and violent themselves but claimed to be only victims and aggravated problems (mostly for low self esteem reasons) with the whole family (and others in the homes) and used children, family members, close friends, jobs, and others as weapons at the detriment for all involved.

This is an excellent book that takes a look at both sides of domestic violence - the physical and mental abuse that goes on in some circumstances (but obviously not all of them). And Ms. Pizzey is the perfect person to tell this story since she is the original founder of homes for battered women. Men that beat women should go to jail and women who are violent should be held responsible as well.

I had to buy this book from Canada (Commoner's Publishing) because it's basically suppressed in America and England due to the some feminist extremists... which is unfortunate because it's not an unfair book... nor does it negate any responsibility from anyone.

There are also pictures from the kids from those families, tons of research, tables of data, interviews, and more. She covers her bases quite well which is probably why this book scares some people.

ByErikon July 6, 2014

What is the root of evil in the world? How is violence created? Some people would argue that it is in man’s very nature to be evil. That to tame the raging beast within, we must medicate ourselves with doses of civilization. This theory plays well into the agendas of religions like Christianity that has the concept of original sin, and also into the agendas of socialists and communists. Man is evil, only in God can he find salvation! Man is greedy, only the government can save us!

However this theory of ‘’evil by nature’’ does not conform to reality. On the contrary, the evidence points to man being inherently being neither evil nor good. Rather man is more like that of a fluid, taking the shape of what it is poured into. Adaptability, argued to be one of the biggest reasons we are the dominant species on earth.

In her book, Erin Pizzey provides strong evidence for this fluid human.

Mrs. Pizzey is known for having established the world’s first women’s shelter. And her book is built on her experiences taking in, caring and hearing the stories of women and their children who have escaped a violent household.

While the book is filled with great (and desperately needed) wisdom, it has been won through great suffering. The stories Mrs. Pizzey relays, the horrors she have seen are almost like that from a hell-dimension. But to discard the stories she shares is to make a grievous error that makes one culpable to letting evil reign over our children.

What Mrs. Pizzey concludes from her experiences, is that in many of the women and even children that came to seek her aid, there was an addiction to violence. Listening to the stories of those under her care, Mrs. Pizzey drew the conclusion that violence had been normalized in childhood, and was now in adulthood associated with pleasure for many of the women and children.
This kindle-book is written in a very easy language. But its contents can be, at many times be extremely difficult to stomach. What Mrs. Pizzey shares with us, is some of the most horrible abuse mankind has to offer.

But it is not pretending that the horrible abuse didn’t happen, and isn’t still happening, that we fight evil. It is by acknowledging it and learning where it comes from and why.

A politically-incorrect but balanced perspective on the domestic violence problem by a woman who knows

ByNightrideron January 10, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Excellent book that goes into detail about the roots and culture of domestic violence. The author pays special attention to women (her area of expertise) and their experiences of violence: the true battered woman and the misunderstood violence-prone woman. Has some very interesting and pertinent information regarding the author's experience with the Feminist Movement as she was busy establishing the first battered women's shelters... in the world. If you are a Feminist and believe that domestic violence is a male problem, then you should read this book. You won't like what the author has to say (based upon her extensive experience), but you should read it anyway. It just might expand your horizon and show you a better path for dealing with the domestic violence issue. Well worth the read!

Fascinating close and clear view of the effects of family violence. There are a few typos but the prose is excellent. The work of Pizzey is breathtaking
