literelli's review against another edition

challenging informative slow-paced

5.0

An excellent resource for a victim of abuse and their family/ friends that explains methods an abuser uses and how abuse is a choice and a reflection on the abusers core values. 
Some bits were shocking to me, but it was valuable for me to learn what to look out for, and to learn strategies to help partners of abusers. 
Despite being 20 years old this book is unfortunately still relevant today. 
I fully intend to continue my learning journey with more resources from this book.
