Praise for Why Does He Do That?
“Bancroft has opened a window into the thinking of abusive men, and
his book helps open a door out of abusive relationships.”—Gavin de
Becker, New York Times bestselling author of The
Gift of Fear and Fear Less
“This is without a doubt the most informative and useful book yet
written on the subject of abusive men.”—Jay G. Silverman, PhD,
director, Violence Prevention Programs, Harvard School of Public
Health
“Jargon-free analysis is frequently broken up by interesting
first-person accounts and boxes that distill in-depth information
into simple checklists. Bancroft’s book promises to be a beacon of
calm for many storm-tossed families.”—Publishers Weekly
“Bancroft boldly asks—and brilliantly answers—the most important
questions of all: Why do so many men abuse women? What can be done
about it? This book is desperately needed and long
overdue.”—Jackson Katz, creator of the award-winning
video Tough Guise: Violence, Media and the Crisis in
Masculinity
“This is essential reading for those in the helping professions and
highly recommended.”—Library Journal

not just for abused women and domestic violence professionals, but
for everyone who wonders why there’s so much violence in America.
Read it.”—Ann Jones, author ofWhen Love Goes
Wrong and Next Time, She’ll Be Dead
“Bancroft helps women who feel trapped in unhealthy relationships
make sense out of what is happening.”—Sarah Buel, JD, codirector,

come back to you long after you put the book down.”—Angela Browne,
author of When Battered Women Kill
