Emotional Abuse
The Trauma and the Treatment
A new model for treating the devastating effects of emotional
abuse
Emotional Abuse provides a clear road map for therapists to guide
them through the intricacies of treating emotionally-abused
victims. Any therapist working with emotionally-abused clients will
find this a most useful text.
--Jeffrey T. Mitchell, president, International Critical Incident
Stress Foundation
Marti Tamm Loring uses her own research and clinical work with
emotionally abused women to explore the components of both overt

new model for its treatment.

"Emotional Abuse breaks new ground in describing this little
understood and acknowledged form of interpersonal mistreatment.
Loring describes both overt and covert emotional abuse and makes
crucial linkages to other types of abuse as well. Her intervention
strategies are grounded in relational theory and give the therapist
a practical approach to the assessment and treatment of the
emotionally abused client." (Christine A. Courtois, clinical
director, Center for Abuse Recovery & Empowerment, Psychiatric
Institute of Washington, D.C.)
