Not happy with it

Hi all

So 9 month dd is getting harder to put to sleep, she seems to fight it a lot. The only calm way usually is going for a drive just before 7ish so then she's asleep and can manage to her her in the cot

On weekends dp/So puts her to bed as not there over the week
But his way is basically holding her right against chest and rocking her even though she's screaming. And I mean SCREAMING like she's in pain. This method used to work when she was a bit younger as she seemed to like the "swaddling" and being near the chest, however now it just seems pointless? But SO won't budge everytime I try tell them, he basically is using the cry out method of just making her scream for ages until she falls to sleep
I hate it! Not happy at all and wondering if this is somehow dangerous? Sometimes he'll also put her in the cot and kind of hold her so she can't move. I just don't think it's right but he starts going angry and shouting at me if I try come up and intervene. The thing is though she's crying and becoming even more distraught so I think it's just a bad way to get them to sleep? She does eventually sleep probably through exhaustion but it makes me feel sick and I even end up crying as I hate hearing her scream for ages

Is this right? I don't know if this is classed as the cc method. I just hate it. Please can someone share some advice or tell me if it's wrong/dangerous

Thanks

That sounds horrendous and I wouldn't be happy with it (and I've used cc previously.)
