Book reviews about abuse.
The Verbally Abusive Relationship How to recognize it and how to respond by Patricia Evans Verbal abuse is a kind of battering which doesn't leave evidence like physical abuse does. However, it can be just as painful, and recovery can take much longer. The victim of abuse lives in a gradually more confusing realm. In public she is with one man, in private he becomes another. Often, for the verbally abused woman, there is no other witness to her reality and no one can understand her experiences.
