The Illusion of Love: Why the Battered Woman Returns to Her Abuser Paperback - 1996
by David Celani
First line
The field of personality development is fragmented into many warring theoretical camps because there is no absolute agreement as to how humans function psychologically.
From the rear 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
