서명/저자: Invisible chains : overcoming coercive control in your intimate relationship / Lisa Aronson Fontes

초록/해제: 요약 :"When a man showers all of his attention on a woman, it can feel incredibly romantic, and can blind her to hints of problems ahead.

Lisa Aronson Fontes draws on both professional expertise and personal experience to provide practical guidance and support for readers who find themselves trapped in a web of coercive control. Understanding this destructive pattern and why it occurs is the first step toward repairing or ending a relationship that has become toxic. Readers get vital tools for determining if they are in danger and if their partner can change--and for getting their freedom back"--해제 :Provided by publisher.
