But it bothers me that it did not take into account the risk of domestic violence.
For example, the chapter ‘Declare Your Independence’ focused on submission in relationships, such as the traditional marriage role for women, and on ways to change those dynamics. Now on rereading it, I’m seeing it clearly addressed gender role issues. Approval seeking, guilt, and dependence, which are covered in the book, were a big part of the traditional social roles for women then but not so much for the men who thought the book just stated the obvious. Looking back now I realize those reactions were gender based. I remember some people saying it was no big deal, the ideas in it were just common sense but for a number of us it was revolutionary. This book was a hot topic when it hit the shelves in the mid ‘70s.

Perhaps you believe that you have no control over your feelings and reactions - Dyer shows how you can take charge of yourself and manage how much you will let difficult times and people affect you.
