I disagree with this comment. Veaux seems awful, but a bad messenger doesn’t make a bad message and his coauthor (one of his ex-partners and accusers) AFAICT, still endorses the book. In any case, I continue to believe it contains good relationship advice.
Can you say more about what you think is good about the advice, and why that book in particular is the best source of that advice?
The co-author didn’t immediately retract the book but had since said at least one of the core models strips people of defenses against abuse, and that that wasn’t necessarily the worst thing in the book, just the easiest thing to point to.
