The Committed Professor A Memoir

My Fall From the Lectern to the Psych Ward

By: Kathi Miner

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Grateful does not even begin to describe how I felt about my life. At forty years old, I had a loving husband, two amazing children, a beautiful home, and a fulfilling career as a college professor in psychology and women’s and gender studies at a top U.S. university. Most importantly, I remained resolute in my principles and values of combating sexism and gender inequality in relationships and in society. And it paid off, big time, or so I thought . . .

In The Committed Professor, A Memoir, My Fall from the Lectern to the Psych Ward, Dr. Kathi N. Miner tells the powerful true story of being married to a man with a double-life of adultery, the horrific narcissistic abuse that occurred after she filed for divorce, and the related events that led her to being committed to a psychiatric hospital. In her harrowing narrative, she demonstrates the critical role patriarchy plays in the process of divorcing abusive men.

The Committed Professor, A Memoir, My Fall from the Lectern to the Psych Ward should be of interest to:

• Anyone who has experienced or wants to learn more about narcissistic or psychological abuse by an intimate partner
• Anyone who has experienced or wants to learn more about narcissistic, betrayal, or divorce trauma
• Those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or PTSD-related symptoms as a result of non-physical abuse from an intimate partner
• Women in the midst of a marital separation or divorce from an abusive partner or who are considering leaving their psychologically abusive partner
• Academics and students in psychology, women’s and gender studies, sociology, law, social relationships, and health and well-being
• Those who work in the family law system (e.g., attorneys, judges, social workers, etc.)
• Anyone who likes a good, true story that is full of surprising twists and turns

What a gripping story

This is a really important read, not only for any woman who has suffered through narcissistic, abuse, but also any professional that deals with family law, couples or family counseling to understand the insidious nature of the damage a narcissist can do to people in their lives. The only complaint I have about this book is the automated voice that told the story. I don’t like that Audible has decided not to pay real people to tell real people‘s stories - and instead uses AI to save a buck
