Loring's book is an outstanding introduction to a subject that produces a huge amount of suffering. The book is well organized, well-written, and revelatory. Everyone could benefit by reading the information presented herein. If you suspect you are suffering from past or present emotional abuse don't hesitate-buy this book immediately. This book will help you educate and free yourself. A must read.

Marti Tamm Loring clearly defines the area of emotional abuse - a relief for those who have suffered for years with no words to articulate how they feel. She also cites research to back up her hypothesis - how wonderful! Loring is compassionate and sincere, and lets the disenfranchised feel they are finally understood. I have recommended this book to clients and their families, friends, and my family members.

Individuals caught up in situations where they wonder if they are being abused somehow would benefit greatly from this book. It is very well written and contains tons of case studies and references. Emotional abuse is very well hidden for 2 reasons there are no physical scars, and the victims blame themselves for the depression, fear, and confusion they fear. This is precisely what the abuser intends to create whether consciously or not. I can not recommend this book enough. I was able to walk from an emotionally abusive relationship because of the knowledge I learned from this book. This book saved my Life!
