In this groundbreaking follow-up to her best-selling books The Verbally Abusive Relationship and Controlling People, Patricia Evans goes beyond identifying verbally abusive behaviors to prescribing a course of action for both victim and abuser. Coupling stories of abused women and abusive men from her own case studies, Evans gives you the tools you need to transform your relationship. Most important, she assures you that such a transformation is possible—given the right circumstances. Evans also helps you determine if your abuser really has changed—or if he’s merely creating the illusion of change. And if he hasn’t changed, Evans helps you decide whether it’s time to leave the relationship—and what to do when it is.

Combining practical applications and the latest clinical research with her trademark support and assurance, Evans shows you how to empower yourself, improve your relationship, and change your life for the better.

A great series of books

Reviewed in Australia on 9 November 2020

What I loved about this book, and I'm unsure whether it was a little intentional , is that it really cemented my decision to leave. The thing that cemented it was reading what was involved in making The Agreement. I ultimately came to the conclusion that it was unfair for me to have gone through what I had already, and worked so hard on myself and the relationship, and then have to put all this extra work into making and maintaining The Agreement. Well done!

I read this book and -after reading other reviews where people said that they felt like the book was about them - had to agree with them. Whilst some of the key points are a little repetitive this helps to hammer home the message of what constitutes abuse and how you can respond to it. I can't recommend it enough.

interesting read

does shed some light but not sure if i felt comfortable with the view that the abusive man see's a mirage image, of
himself in his partner threfore expects same insight and views as he would hold. can see how it could explain some off
the distrubed behaviour and thought processes. I feel still that the "intellegent abuser" knows full well what he is doing,

Auch für Männer interessant ...

Reviewed in Germany on 13 January 2015

Da die deutschspachige Version des ersten Buches von Patricia Evans vergriffen ist, habe ich mir alle ihre englischsprachigen zum Thema verbaler Missbrauch / verbale Gewalt gekauft und finde alle ausgezeichnet - auch dieses. Patricia Evans scheint tatsächlich die kompetenteste Autorin für dieses Thema zu sein.

Habe auch M.F. Hirigoyen (Die Masken der Niedertracht) gelesen - jedoch hier mehr Details und Hintergrundwissen gefunden, vor allem dann, wenn die verbale Gewalt nicht "laut und aggressiv" daherkommt, sondern eher versteckt - im Definieren der Innenwelt des anderen.
