<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Are you a victim of domestic abuse? Or do you desire to stop abusing your intimate partner? Do you simply want to understand what motivates an abuser to reoffend? If so, this ground-breaking book is for you.</em></p><p>With their innovative approach, clinical psychologist Indira Haracic-Novic and men's health expert Dean Quirke shed new light on the epidemic of domestic violence against women. </p><p>Instead of viewing spousal or intimate partner abuse as the sole result of power and control tactics, the authors invite readers to explore the repetitive patterns of abusive behaviour - which tend to escalate in frequency and severity - within a behavioural addiction paradigm.</p><p>They have consolidated their expertise in this book, assisting victims to heal from the trauma of abuse, and to prevent it from happening in future relationships. </p><p>Reaching out to men who want to stop abusing their loved ones, Haracic-Novic and Quirke also provide strategies to break free from their repetitive patterns of abusive behaviour. By dismantling the dangerous aspects of the personality that may have become addicted to abusing their partners, victims and abusers become free to create healthier loving relationships. </p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'For many decades domestic violence and abusive relationships were perceived as an interpersonal relational dynamic. This magisterial book upends the orthodoxy and recasts abuse as addictive behavior rooted in the psychology (or psychopathology) of the abuser. One could argue - perhaps in the next edition - that the victims are equally addicted to their predicament. The authors provide a penetrating overview of several schools of thought, the politics of family and inter-gender dynamics, as well as case studies of abusers. A distillation of the highest calibre coupled with breakthrough transformative thinking. A must!'<strong> </strong><strong>Sam Vaknin, psychology professor and author of <em>Malignant Self-love: Narcissism Revisited</em></strong></p><p>'Indira and Dean have compiled a thought-provoking masterpiece that compels the reader to take a fresh look at the addictive cycle of violence; repetitive behaviour patterns and the build-up of tolerance. Toxic love is an informative discourse and will be useful to a wide audience; victims, perpetrators and therapists as well. The wisdom in this work reflects the authors expertise and profound understanding of the human psyche.' <strong>Pearl <em>Fernandes M. Clin. Psych, Psychologist</em> </strong></p><p>'<em>Toxic Love</em> shines a light on understanding the motivations for a perpetrator to abuse their partners, how it develops into such a pattern, why victims can't leave and how people can change. Highly recommend this book! A great read for everyone to gain a deeper insight into toxic love and its underpinnings.' <strong><em>Julia Green, Naturopath, Health Squad</em></strong></p><p>'Having worked in men's development for many years I've been very concerned about men that commit domestic violence. As a result, I interviewed the co-author of Toxic Love, Dean Quirke, and we explored domestic violence from a man's point of view. His and Indira's book was in development when we did the interviews and now it's released I can see the depth of thinking and experience that has gone into it. I'm sure it will become a valued resource as their new concepts are digested and tested by practitioners in the field.' <strong><em>Hilton Barr Director at 'Cant-2-Can' </em></strong></p><p>'Toxic Love</em> is an essential piece of work that affects so many in society today. The book is highly informative and inspiring in a way that will bring so much hope and light to those affected by this challenge. It is a compelling and engaging read that will go a long way to providing hope and inspiring individuals to navigate their way through these challenges.' <strong><em>Biagio Versace, President & Board Member of MCAS & Founder of 'Mindpositivo'</em></strong></p><p><br></p><br>
