Dr Phil and Domestic Violence: Only Women Can Be Abuse Victims

Dr Phil and Domestic Violence: Only Women Can Be Abuse Victims

By A Shrink for Men | Source | January 24, 2011

There’s a new article on www.Shrink4Men.com that explores a recent episode of the Dr Phil Show in which Dr Phil refuses to acknowledge the fact that men can be the victims of abuse, too. The couple featured on the show are in a mutually abusive relationship. The wife freely admits to physically assaulting her husband and destroying his property. Instead of holding her accountable, Dr Phil minimizes her violent behavior by calling it a relationship issue while simultaneously condemning the husband for his abusive behavior.
