Using numerous examples drawn from case history and her own therapeutic expertise, Engel will show you how to
 
* Recognize and understand the abusers in your life
* Identify the patterns that have kept you emotionally trapped
* Complete your unfinished business
* Decide whether to walk away from an abusive relationship or take a stand and stay
