I personally haven't read the book--purchased it for a friend on the advise of a therapist. Very pleased with how fast I received the item. Would certainly order from the company again!

Customer Rating: 

If you suffer from verbal abuse, or you are unsure if you do. This book is excellent. Being that the disorder is very insidious, this book points out the characteristics of the disorder and helps you to clarify and direct your approach to dealing with verbal abuse.

Customer Rating: 

Having survived an abusive marriage I remain acutely aware of the long-term effects that verbal abuse can have on the victim. This book gives great insights into the different realities of the perpetrators and their victims. The author has a keen awareness of the subject and the long-term consequences of remaining in this unhealthy situation.

Customer Rating: 

A concise description of what verbal abuse is and how language is used for domination and control, rather than for connection, support and intimacy. Verbal abuse is often subtle, may insidiously worsen over time, can be difficult to detect, and gets paralyzingly woven into the normal fabric of life. Once you read this book, the signs are glaringly obvious. I recommend this book often in my practice to help people identify why they might feel confused and unhappy in their close relationships. Once read, insight into the situation creates room for personal psychic and emotional shifts, and it is easier to make decisions about how to proceed in life. Great resource.

I discovered this book through the author's website. I had not understood much at all about verbal abuse but this book was a good education. I found myself in every chapter, going back to my childhood. It helped me achieve clarity that I was not crazy for thinking there was something very wrong with my marriage and the relationships with my mother and sister even though I could not quite put my finger on what it was. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wonders why a relationship (not just male/female but others as well) is not working well despite his/her best efforts. The book will be an eye opener and send you on the road to healing and a better life.
