Avoiding the Abuser - I. The Submissive Posture Abusers react to the slightest provocation - real or imagined - with disproportionate wrath and, often, violence. It is important, therefore, never to openly and repeatedly disagree with your abuser or contradict him. If you do - your abuser is bound to walk away, but only after he has vilified and harmed you in every way he can. narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
Avoiding the Abuser - II. The Conflictive Posture Contrary to its name, the conflictive posture is actually about avoiding conflict by minimizing contact and insisting on boundaries. It is about refusal to accept abusive behavior by demanding reasonably predictable and rational actions and reactions. It is about respect for you and for your predilections, preferences, emotions, needs, and priorities. narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
Condoning Abuse Abuse is bound to be found in patriarchal, narcissistic, or misogynistic collectives. Many societies exhibit cross sections of these three traits. Thus, most patriarchal groups are also misogynistic, either overtly and ideologically so - or covertly and in denial. narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
Contracting with Your Abuser How can one negotiate with an abuser without incurring his wrath? What is the meaning of contracts "signed" with bullies? How can one motivate the abuser to keep his end of the bargain - for instance, to actually seek therapy and attend the sessions? And how efficacious is psychotherapy or counseling to start with? narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
Coping with Your Abuser Sometimes it looks hopeless. Abusers are ruthless, immoral, sadistic, calculated, cunning, persuasive, deceitful - in short, they appear to be invincible. They easily sway the system in their favor. Here is a list of escalating countermeasures. They represent the distilled experience of thousands of victims of abuse. They may help you cope with abuse and overcome it. narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
How to Spot an Abuser on Your First Date Is there anything you can do to avoid abusers and narcissists to start with? Are there any warning signs, any identifying marks, rules of thumbs to shield you from the harrowing and traumatic experience of an abusive relationship? narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
Reconditioning the Abuser Can abusers be "reconditioned"? Can they be "educated" or "persuaded" not to abuse? narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
Reforming the Abuser Abusers are narcissistic and possessed of alloplastic defenses. More simply put, they feel superior, entitled, above any law and agreement, and innocent. Others - usually the victims - are to blame for the abusive conduct ("see what you made me do?"). narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
The Abuser in Denial Abusers regularly deny the abuse ever took place - or rationalize their abusive behaviors. Denial is an integral part of the abuser's ability to "look at himself/herself in the mirror". narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
The Abuser's Body Language Many abusers have a specific body language. It comprises an unequivocal series of subtle - but discernible - warning signs. Pay attention to the way your date comports himself - and save yourself a lot of trouble! narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
The Anomaly of Abuse Is abuse anomalous - or an inevitable part of human nature? If the former - is it the outcome of flawed genetics, nurture (environment and upbringing) - or both? Can it be "cured" - or merely modified, regulated, and accommodated? There are three groups of theories - three schools - regarding abusers and their conduct. narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
The Guilt of the Abused Therapists, marriage counselors, mediators, court-appointed guardians, police officers, and judges are human.

Many things work against the victim facing the justice system and the psychological profession. narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
Your Abuser in Therapy Your abuser "agrees" (is forced) to attend therapy. But are the sessions worth the effort? What is the success rate of various treatment modalities in modifying the abuser's conduct, let alone in "healing" or "curing" him? Is psychotherapy the panacea it is often made out to be - or a nostrum, as many victims of abuse claim? And why is it applied only after the fact - and not as a preventive measure? narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
