He was a professional psychologist. She was trained in psychology, but had no practice.

Here again is evidence of my belief that we are 90% emotion and only 10% reason. While I've not hit any women, I was involved once with a woman whose father was an alcoholic, and she unconsciously did her best to replicate her family of origin in her intimate relationships in adulthood. She would often provoke her partner verbally, and would do the "go away closer" routine, leaving her partner totally bewildered and frustrated. One (of three) ex-husbands was a practicing psychiatrist, and she had two Master's degrees, and was a respected member of a university staff. Clearly, intellect didn't alter the topsy-turvy behaviour. I, as someone with a similar background, was easily sucked into an intolerable, insane situation with her.
