Everything you didn't know about domestic abuse, Dr Don Dutton meets TheTinMen (Chapter 2)

Emeritus Professor, Dr Don Dutton has worked within family violence for 50 years, to become one of the world’s foremost experts on this issue.Dr Dutton has written nearly a dozen books and hundreds of peer reviewed papers on family violence; as a psychologist he's treated violent men for decades, co-founding the ‘Assaultive Husbands Project’, winning dozens of grants and awards, and acting as an expert witness in scores of legal trials, including the most infamous partner homicide trial in history – on the prosecution against O.J. Simpson. He is, simply put, 'the expert's expert'. What's more, Dr Dutton has been unafraid to challenge the male perpetrator, female victim paradigm of domestic violence, looking past the political ideology, and centreing his research on the evidence.Considering himself an "outsider" within family violence research, Dr Dutton has become a contentious character, often vilified for his hard hitting assertions, and reluctance to bow to the 'feminist agenda' that domestic violence is instrumental, and men enacting 'patriarchal power' onto women.Let's take a look – 00:00 – The paradox of gender equality and violence by women01:58 – The Millennial Shift04:18 – Why do people abuse power?05:59 – How do people respond to these unpopular findings?10:40 – The political agenda within domestic violence15:00 – How domestic violence surveys are flawed21:38 – Do feminist models of domestic violence harm women too?22:19 – Elastic measuring tapes; crime and health surveys24:15 – The Narcissists Prayer; debunking the myths35:22 – Do we normalise violence by women? 37:55 – The ugly truth about intimate partner homicides41:26 – What is "psych-ache"?42:20 – Partner homicide is more about suicide than murder45:42 – Suicide and relationship breakdown49:06 – Borderline personality disorder and abuse54:18 – Why do we ignore the mental health of men who kill their partner?55:10 – Dr Dutton an the OJ Simpson Trial58:45 – How researchers hide the truth01:01:55 – Setting the record straight on domestic abuse01:06:07 – Where to find Dr Duttons workRead Don's research at:https://drdondutton.com/
