"Hi, I'm Patti German, and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist here in New York City. In this clip, we are going to talk about how to spot a potentially violent partner. I think the most important thing to understand in violence, is a person loses his ability to use words to communicate and can only communicate through behaviors. Violence is something that one learns through a family of origin. Having witnessed it, or never having been listened to and heard. So, if you see your partner kicking things or being mean to animals or something along these lines, there is an indication of violence in this sense. So, to be able to sit and talk with your partner about what might be underneath the anger is what can help defray violence behaviors. And violence is about, again, an inability to communicate; to put your feelings into words. This is Patty German in New York City."
