Enns, a therapist in private practice, and Black, executive director of LifeTrack Strategies, Inc., offer a workbook for individuals in the midst of an abusive relationship to use either on their own or in a group. They begin by defining abuse and explaining that it can be other than physical. By describing real-life situations, illustrating "the cycle of abuse," and posing questions, they help the reader decide whether or not a relationship is abusive. The authors then show how to put together a safe plan for leaving the relationship. Although many of the suggestions seem obvious, their book is impressive because it skips nothing, instead giving small, "easy" steps that can realistically be met. Whatever decision the reader makes is respected. A caring and honest book; highly recommended.?Elizabeth Caulfield Felt, Washington State Univ., Pullman
