An Ill-Fated Introduction. The Utility of Contempt. Engendered Self-States. Masochism as Medium. Theater of Judicial Absurdity. Venus With Arms. Epilogue.
Abby Stein is Associate Professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and post-graduate faculty at the Manhattan Institute of Psychoanalysis. She is the author of Prologue to Violence: Child Abuse, Dissociation, and Crime (Analytic Press, 2007).
"I think that Cupid’s Knife will be very useful for experienced
clinicians who are already comfortable conducting psychotherapy and
who will most likely find that Stein’s work adds to their ability
to imagine the experiences underlying a woman’s pattern of abusive
relationships in a way that permits them to formulate more creative
and effective responses to the challenges of helping these women.
The book could also be useful for non-clinicians who work with
women in relevant contexts and people who work with their partners
and their children."- Wendy Katz, The International Journal of
Psychoanalysis"Any account of romantic love under the siege
conditions of relational violence must seek out paradox. Abby Stein
has that gift, showing us how women's anger and agency are woven
through the tendrils of abuse and victimization. Her book hurts.
But it also inspires – her writing, scholarship, and clinical depth
transform portraits of "victims" into those of survivors, whose
stories demand our attention and respect." - Virginia Goldner,
