In spite of their physical invisibility, emotional wounds are a very damaging form of abuse. Whether caused by words, actions, or even indifference, emotional abuse is common--yet often overlooked. In this helpful guide, Dr. Gregory L. Jantz reveals how those who have been abused by a spouse, parent, employer, or minister can overcome the past and rebuild their self-image. This revised and updated edition of Healing the Scars of Emotional Abuse includes: strategies for dealing with the verbal abuser; self-check quizzes with each chapter; keys to rebuilding relationships; letters from survivors of emotional abuse; new information on dealing with spiritual abuse; and a biblical plan for healing.
