Susan Forward: Emotional Blackmail

In the book, you will learn what emotional blackmail is and get to know all its forms with examples from the work of a psychotherapist.

Analyze the manipulator and the victim, find out why some are prone to blackmail and others humbly accept to be victims. You will find that there is never a single guilty one – it was interesting to read about how the victim contributes to the manipulator’s growing.

The book talks a great deal about the roots of problems and the impact of childhood trauma on the character of the manipulator/victim.

There will be plenty of examples here, so I promise that after reading the book you will really shake your brain and get a better understanding of yourself and those around you.

The second part of the book describes the practical steps to get out of the vicious circle and set boundaries.
