From the Back Cover
'For clinical psychologist Celani, Fairbairn's object relations theory is the key: he argues that battered and battering spouses manifest complementary personality disorders, both in response to neglectful, rejecting parents. Because abuser and abused failed to achieve differentiation, introjection, and integration in childhood, both seek love from--and fear loss of--an adult partner who is as incapable of meeting their needs as their parents were.' -- Booklist
