VERBAL ABUSE SURVIVORS SPEAK OUT
Verbal Abuse Survivors
Speak Out tells: how verbal abuse precedes domestic violence; about
the transition from verbal abuse to battering; how abusers control their
partner's space, time and resources; how the connection between the inner
and outer world - between action and result - disintegrates and how the
partner may then feel paralyzed and unable to act; what categories of abuse
women experience most; how to cope with a person who abuses you; how to
recover the strength and confidence lost from abuse; what to watch out for
in new relationships and how to go beyond abusive ones; how to look for
a therapist; how to start a support group. This book also lists agencies
to call on for help and referrals in every state.
