Book Review - The Verbally Abusive Relationship: Patricia Evans

The above book title is one of the best books I have ever read about this topic. As books on abuse go, I have read many and this book is excellent. If you are someone who wonders whether something is wrong in your relationship, or you suspect that your partner's behavior is borderline abuse or straight out verbal abuse, then you must read this book.

Verbal and emotional abuse in relationships quite often goes along unnoticed. When you compare this type of abuse to the physical kind, it's easy to see how you may question whether you or someone close to you is in a relationship that is abusive both verbally and emotionally. We can visibly see injuries and bruises that occur when a partner is battered physically, but the scars and wounds that emotional and verbal abuse leave are deeper and far more damaging. 

This book speaks to the female; in terms of being a victim as it is mostly women that are abused and have no idea what they have done to deserve it. Patricia explains the reasons why women get treated this way and in the second part of the book she reassures women with her strategies for counteracting your man's abusive statements. These strategies can work for anyone, dealing with all types of verbal abuse. Verbal abuse is however, more common between men and women in relationships.

In terms of abuse book on the market, this is really one of the best and next time I update this blog I will be recommending another book that a friend of mine wrote recently and is selling on Amazon and it is really good, however it covers emotional abuse, which is different to verbal abuse. Sometimes verbal abuse can turn into emotional abuse, however we are talking about men who want to counter everything his woman says, and seems keen to start an argument or to blame his partner for something.

So have a look out for this book if you are dealing with verbal abuse from someone as it will really help you in all situations whenever you are accused of something, or called nasty names, which is what abusers do.

Stay tuned for my review of another great book about abuse, coming soon. If you wish to get a copy of Patricia Evans, The Verbally Abusive Relationship. You can purchase it right here at the Amazon link below.
