Publisher's Synopsis
PRAISE FOR the emotionally abusive relationship
"A good, solid treatment of an insidious but all–too–common type of relationship in which the weapons are words and moods rather than the fist, but which do just as much damage. Most importantly, Ms. Engel doesn’t just describe she shows us the way out."
Susan Forward, Ph.D., author of Emotional Blackmail
"In this book, Beverly Engel clearly and with caring offers step–by–step strategies to stop emotional abuse. She explores the dynamics of emotional abuse, helping both victims and abusers to identify the patterns of this painful and traumatic type of abuse. This book is a guide both for individuals and for couples stuck in the tragic patterns of emotional abuse."
Marti Loring, Ph.D., author of Emotional Abuse and coeditor of The Journal of Emotional Abuse
"This groundbreaking book succeeds in helping people stop emotional abuse by focusing on both the abuser and the abused and showing each party what emotional abuse is, how it affects the relationship, and how to stop it.
