"Protecting the Gift" is the title of one of the books, I don't remember the other one. My ex threw my copy out because he said it was ******** that I shouldn't read... which made it clear that it was useful reading.
"The Gift of Fear" is the other one. DeBecker is the one who designed the MOSAIC threat assessment tool, which is free for anyone to use for DV assessment.
