This
important
book
brings
the
ignored
population
of
abused
upper-income
women
to
light,
revealing
for
the
first
time
the
depth
and
severity
of
"upscale
abuse"How
is
it
possible
for
a
highly
educated
woman
with
a
career
and
resources
of
her
own
to
stay
in
a
marriage
with
an
abusive
husband?
How
can
a
man
be
considered
a
pillar
of
his
community,
run
a
successful
business
and
regularly
give
his
wife
a
black
eye?
That
we
can
even
ask
these
startling
questions
proves
how
convinced
we
are
that
domestic
abuse
is
restricted
to
the
lower
classes.In
"Not
to
People
Like
Us"
psychotherapist
Susan
Weitzman
dramatically
challenges
this
assumption.
It
is
the
first
book
to
explore
a
previously
overlooked
population
of
emotionally
and
physically
battered
wives-the
upper-educated
and
upper-income
women,
who
rarely
report
abuse
and
remain
trapped
by
their
own
silence.
Weitzman
draws
on
an
in-depth
study
to
document
the
shocking
nature
and
incidence
of
abuse
among
the
wives
of
professors,
physicians
and
CEOs-many
of
them
professionals
and
executives
themselves.
With
keen
insight
and
profound
sensitivity,
she
reveals
the
unique
path
taken
by
the
upscale
wife-the
early
warning
signs,
the
dilemmas
and
decisions,
the
dangerous
desire
to
cover
up
and
maintain
appearances.The
first
book
to
condemn
the
legal
and
social
service
system
for
failing
to
recognize
domestic
violence
among
upper-income
families,
"Not
to
People
Like
Us"
offers
crucial
information
to
help
women
find
their
way
out
of
abusive
relationships
and
toward
safety
and independence.
