About this listen

If your partner: seems irritated or angry at you several times a week, denies being angry when he clearly is, does not work with you to resolve important issues, rarely or never seems to share thoughts or plans with you, or tells you that he has no idea what you’re talking about when you try to discuss important problems…you need this audiobook.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Although the facts, I trust the author, are true - she presents only one part of the story. She says as if the blame was 100% on the abuser and 0% on the abused person.It is simply not right and me being in recovery myself I see that the problem of such dysfunction is on both sides. Besides, the author recalls in most cases women as the victims, vaguely mentioning how men are verbally mistreated by women (sarcasm, cynical comments, also physical abuse) treated by women. It's more and more shown by recent studies.

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator has a good voice, but is interpreting in such a way as the abuser was a monster and the abused person a soft and totally innocent person.

Do you think Verbal Abuse: Survivors Speak Out needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

If the analysis is going to follow only the above way of thinking, I think it is mis-informing the topic. Besides, me myself being a verbal abuser, I behave in such a way more of my unconscious fear rather than pure desire to control the other person.

Any additional comments?

The author be more objective.

The content: more ideological rather than factual
