Description

Cupid's Knife explores the psychological barriers that keep women trapped in abusive relationships, moving beyond the conventional focus on material obstacles like shelter and employment. Drawing on real narratives from physically and emotionally abused women, psychoanalyst Abby Stein reveals how women's repression of their own aggression becomes a critical factor in undermining their agency and autonomy. This groundbreaking work, part of the Psychoanalysis in a New Key series, examines the complex internal dynamics that make leaving violent partnerships feel impossible, even when external support systems are in place. By connecting anger, splitting, and self-preservation, Stein offers fresh insight into why many women remain bound to their abusers despite having the resources and opportunity to escape. Essential reading for mental health professionals, social workers, domestic violence advocates, and anyone seeking to understand the psychological underpinnings of intimate partner abuse.

Key Features

Abby Stein's analysis connects women's repression of anger to their inability to leave abusive relationships, offering a psychoanalytic perspective often missing from domestic violence literature.

The book draws on gripping first-person narratives from physically and emotionally abused women to illustrate the psychological mechanisms of entrapment.

Published by Routledge as part of the Psychoanalysis in a New Key book series, ensuring rigorous scholarly grounding and peer-reviewed content.

Cupid's Knife goes beyond material barriers like shelter and employment to examine how internal psychological splitting undermines women's agency and decision-making.
