How can a man be considered a pillar of his community, run a successful business and regularly give his wife a black eye? That we can even ask these startling questions proves how convinced we are that domestic abuse is restricted to the lower classes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003e\"Not to People Like Us\"\u003c\/i\u003e psychotherapist Susan Weitzman dramatically challenges this assumption. It is the first book to explore a previously overlooked population of emotionally and physically battered wives-the upper-educated and upper-income women, who rarely report abuse and remain trapped by their own silence. Weitzman draws on an in-depth study to document the shocking nature and incidence of abuse among the wives of professors, physicians and CEOs-many of them professionals and executives themselves. With keen insight and profound sensitivity, she reveals the unique path taken by the upscale wife-the early warning signs, the dilemmas and decisions, the dangerous desire to cover up and maintain appearances. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The first book to condemn the legal and social service system for failing to recognize domestic violence among upper-income families, \u003ci\u003e\"Not to People Like Us\"\u003c\/i\u003e offers crucial information to help women find their way out of abusive relationships and toward safety and independence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Weitzman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0465090745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780465090747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.19h x 6.15w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2004 pg. 50","brand":"Susan Weitzman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045154418943,"sku":"9780465090747","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d232cde7-e013-4efc-9891-8d9545f64299.jpg?v=1684977056","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/not-to-people-like-us-susan-weitzman-9780465090747","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
