Abuse OF Men BY Women – Our Interview with Author Ann Silvers [Videos]

Many of us think of domestic violence as a problem of men mistreating women. However, roughly half of all relationships where intimate partner violence occurs involve violent women.

Ann Silvers is a counselor and relationship coach near Tacoma, Washington. She is the author of many self-help books, including Abuse OF Men BY Women: It Happens, It Hurts, and It’s Time to Get Real About It, one of the few books specifically about female-to-male partner abuse.
