About the Book

Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them by Susan Forward, with Joan Torres, is a groundbreaking and widely influential book that was among the first to identify and explore a pattern of relationships now widely recognized in psychology: women drawn into relationships with emotionally abusive, controlling, or misogynistic partners. Drawing on her extensive clinical experience as a psychotherapist, Forward examines the underlying dynamics that draw women into these relationships, and the psychological toll of staying in them.

Through case studies and clinical insight, the book identifies recognizable patterns of behavior in emotionally abusive men — including manipulation, jealousy, blame-shifting, and cycles of idealization and devaluation — while also exploring why intelligent, capable women often find themselves repeatedly drawn to and trapped by these dynamics. Forward offers a compassionate but clear-eyed framework for understanding these patterns, addressing the family histories and self-esteem issues that can make women vulnerable to them, alongside practical guidance for recognizing red flags, breaking unhealthy cycles, and rebuilding a stronger sense of self-worth.

A pioneering work in the field of relationship psychology, Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them helped bring language and clinical understanding to patterns of emotional abuse that were, at the time, rarely discussed openly, and it remains a widely referenced and influential text for readers seeking to understand and escape unhealthy relationship dynamics.
