In this episode, Don Hennessy – former Clinical Director of Ireland’s National Domestic Violence Intervention Project and author of Steps to Freedom: Escaping Intimate Control – explains the mind of the abuser he calls the “psychophile”: a man who invades his partner’s thinking deliberately, then hides the intent behind chaos, charm, and blame.
