Description - Overcoming Emotional Abuse by Susan Elliot-Wright
Many women assume that abuse is always physical. But this is not always the case. Psychological, verbal and emotional abuse may cause serious damage, and this is now recognised by law. This new edition has been updated in line with recent legislation on controlling and coercive behaviour, which can include the abuser preventing friendships or hobbies, refusing access to money, and determining many basic aspects of a person's everyday life, such as eating and sleeping.
Topics include:
• types of emotional abuse, such as criticism, negative comments, emotional blackmail, controlling behaviour and hostile silence
• how emotional abuse may become physical
• how to protect yourself and any children
• sources of help such as women's refuges
• whether an abusive relationship can survive
• when and how to leave
• beginning a new life
