Life-saving
Read this one and you won't have to read shelves and shelves of other self-help books. The truth within it _is_ startling as another reviewer mentioned. I've reread this many times over the years since someone recommended it to me. Most of it has been underlined, the margins are filled with notes. It's wonderful to reread it and finally see that you have no abusers in your life anymore.The principals within it will also help you with making decisions about counselors and therapists and assorted other helpers. Don't accept abuse from them either. Frankly, if this is your issue, I wouldn't see a therapist who hasn't read this book.
Get Encouragements for the Emotionally Abused Woman, too. They go very well together and both are worth the money.

A must read for those in an abusive lifestyle!
I bought this book to gain a greater understanding of the dynamics of my emotionally abused friend. It was like this book was written about her!
Author, Beverly Engels knows her subject well. Her therapeutic expertise shows you how to recognize and understand the abusers in your life. There are indentifing patterns that show where you are emotionally trapped & advice on how to remove yourself from these destructive patterns.
An interesting point is that the abused equally contributes to the sickness of the relationship as the abuser does! You cannot have one without the other!
This is a MUST READ for anyone in this sitution and for those loved ones who desire to have an understanding of this nightmare. There is great hope should you desire to have a healthly life!

The ONLY help I got!!!!
In this book I finally found someone who understood! Understood that there can be *great* abuse inflicted upon women without a hand ever touching them! This author knows that the deep internal scars are harder to heal than the superficial physical ones, for they wound the heart! I was drowning without a life vest until I found this book! Hallelujah!
