Dangerous Relationships

“People in love tend to overlook, rationalize, and justify unhealthy behaviors and patterns. This book will shake them out of that fantasy.” —Susan Forward, PhD, #1 New York Times bestselling author
 
Possessiveness, insensitivity, and a sudden personality change are all warning signs of a potential abuser. Dangerous Relationships will help readers recognize a potentially violent personality before it’s too late. Interweaving real-life stories of four couples, Dr. Noelle Nelson highlights dangerous turning points in relationships and explains how readers can safely diffuse tension between their spouses, lovers, or roommate and protect themselves from abuse.
 
“An important book for every woman who has had an abusive relationship, or who is newly into a relationship in which there are warning signs surrounding control and power. No one deserves abuse, and Dr. Nelson has made it clear that the pattern can be discovered quite early in a relationship, and that a woman can get out before she gets hurt.” —Sherry Simmons, Executive Director, The Support Network for Battered Women
 
“I would highly recommend this book to anyone who may be in a violent relationship, or to a relative or close personal friend who has concerns about the safety of someone they love.” —Diane P. McGauley, Executive Director, The Family Place, Chair, Texas Council on Family Violence
