How can a man be considered a pillar of his community, run a successful business, yet regularly give his wife a black eye? The very nature of these questions proves our unarticulated assumption that domestic violence is restricted to the lower classes. When we do hear stories of high-profile victims, we regard them as exceptional cases and still believe abuse doesn't happen to \"people like us.\" Now Susan Weitzman counters this assumption by exploring a heretofore overlooked population of battered wives-the well-educated, upper-income women who rarely report abuse and remain trapped by their own silence.With keen insight and sensitivity, Weitzman, a psychotherapist and educator, traces common patterns of behavior among this group-their internal dilemmas and decisions, their dangerous desire to cover up abuse and maintain appearances. She shows how their abusive relationships follow a different course from those in other socioeconomic groups, and how these distinctions have profound implications for understanding the true nature of this behavior. Delving into the stories of these women-wives of CEOs and attorneys, of physicians and professors, the women often professionals themselves-Weitzman builds harrowing psychological profiles of both the abused and the abuser., ISBN13:9780465090730 ISBN10:0465090737 Material Type:hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Used Book Depot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46344951922851,"sku":"A-STR_UBD_H0001564","price":12.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/411J0VFH5FL.jpg?v=1759997307","url":"https:\/\/usedbookdepot.com\/products\/not-to-people-like-us-hidden-abuse-in-upscale-marriages","provider":"Used Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
