Overview

"What is a dangerous man? Most women would answer, ""one who is physically violent."" But abusive behavior is often more insidious. Men who want mothers, not partners,who prey on lonely, passive women,who are mentally ill, addicted, or emotionally unavailable,or who won't go away when asked to leave are all dangerous. The harm they cause is not always physical,it can also be sexual, spiritual or financial. And the pain often does not stop even after the man is gone. Most women who have dated one dangerous man have dated two or three. The How to Spot a Dangerous Man Workbook is a realistic and effective tool for women to break the dangerous man pattern, and contains 22 worksheets and quizzes to lead women to the place where they can effectively create their personal ""Do Not Date"" list. To break this unhealthy cycle, the workbook gives women a place to explore and learn from their personal mistakes so they can avoid making them in the future. This workbook is a companion piece to the author's book How to Spot a Dangerous Man Before You Get Involved."

The majority of our clients will plan their activities around these groups as not to miss one. I often receive requests from our clients to begin my groups at an outside location so that they can continue to attend and learn. Our staff could not be more pleased by the results of the changes we have made to our program as not 85 to 90% of our clients are breaking the cycle and not going back to or getting involved in new abusive relationships. The clients that are returning to their abuser or getting into another dangerous relationship are the ones that do not attend our groups. <br>Our staff and clients that got to meet with and hear Sandra L.
