Review:'According to therapist Engel (The Emotionally Abusive Relationship: How To Stop Being Abused and How To Stop Abusing), \"even the most loving person\" is capable of emotional abuse-that is, \"any non-physical behavior designed to control, intimidate, subjugate, demean, punish, or isolate.\" In a reasoned, sensible tone, she encourages readers to become responsible for their behavior and for changing it. Identified are ten \"patterns of abuse\" (verbal assault, character assassination, etc.), different kinds of abusive relationships, action steps for cessation, and suggestions for recovery. Using dense writing and cogent examples, Engel clearly shows how this type of abuse, either intentional or unconscious leads to low self-esteem and misery for one or both partners. A difficult and draining yet important read for those who suspect that their relationship has entered abusive territory, this book is highly recommended.
