Diagnostic but undemonstrative and theoretical
There are way too many self-help books out there and to make a mark, an author has to bring personal touch. This one has straight to the point approach and bolded points, highlighting the crucial matters/issues. Therefore, it was a rather quick read as it didn't beat around the bush at all. I realize first step is to identify. And that is brilliantly covered in this book. I also understand one can be shown the path, but it has to be walked by the one suffering. If that is the goal, then the author has successfully given guidance to recognize it.
Although Dr. Emily Craig has over 15 years of experience in counseling such victims, I did not see any real examples. And that is why I felt it was a theoretical account. I personally know women who have resorted to counseling, provided free by church, during their tough times and it was not realistic at all. This book came out as vacant to me from that perspective. I did not see doable solutions but more of reviewing known obstacles. There is much importance and coverage given to identifying than managing challenges. Or even how to actually come out of an abusive relationship.
I don't want to be hypercritical. However, the crippling matter of contention, a truly suffering person faces are financial independence and security. Those are not within grasp in this world. And this book covers them with impractical advice, citing them in detail as an issue without any real-life solutions.
Having said that, I appreciate all unobserved and overlooked signs included here. There is a Doemstic Hotline number in the end in case a person in an abusive marriage needs it. I found this book highly effective in how to establish if one is in an abusive relationship. That part makes this one a worthwhile read. It also is very empowering for women as it encourages us to be independent.
