Emotional abuse in intimate relationships is a serious issue because it is motivated by power and control rather than respect and love. They say that emotional abuse is the foundation or umbrella for all types of abuse, including physical and sexual abuse. Although emotional, psychological, and financial abuse is not illegal, they are forms of domestic violence that can lead to criminal abuse.

This book focuses on the emotional abuse experienced by victims who are women in a marriage or cohabiting relationship. The goal of this book is to understand the dynamics within these relationships and the victimization process that occurs throughout these relationships. The book concludes with several recommendations for emotional abuse victims' healing.
