Not just another self-help book

Marti Tamm Loring clearly defines the area of emotional abuse - a relief for those who have suffered for years with no words to articulate how they feel. She also cites research to back up her hypothesis - how wonderful! Loring is compassionate and sincere, and lets the disenfranchised feel they are finally understood. I have recommended this book to clients and their families, friends, and my family members.
