Customer Reviews

Great resource for clients

I bought this book to train staff and for client support. It arrived quickly, is a good read and I am happy with it.

A must read

As a college counselor I have recommended this book to numerous students (both male and female) who have been in abusive relationships and are trying to break free. Dr. Nelson has done an excellent job portraying the characteristics of the abuser and the feelings of the victim. I would strongly urge anyone who may think they are involved with an abuser to read this book. It also is an excellent resource for those in the dating world to heed the red flags of abuse. It is a lifesaver.

Purge Your Fears

It has been two years since my ex-boyfriend attacked me. And I am only now allowing myself to open up to a new relationship. This book gave me permission to let go of the hurt and confusion. I now have the tools to tell the difference between someone who will hurt me and someone who will care for me. I have asked several of my friends and family members to read it. The information is invalueable to all.

Good for researching material

Only reason why I bought this book was for my college class "Crisis Intervention for the Criminal justice professionals" The book is a bit overanalyical, needs more common sense and less of the author attidude. The book gives the feel of one side and not the other. Good information for research papers...that's about it.

Very Helpful and Honest

This book can help you even if you've already been in an abusive relationship. It helped me recognize and understand the signs my ex-husband was showing me before we were married, though at the time I didn't have the tools I needed to see what I was getting into. It also gave me the confirmation and strength to not return to the relationship by reinforcing what I already suspected and by sharing the stories of others who had experienced abuse.
