Why read it?

1 author picked Women Who Love Psychopaths as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I loved this book because the research Sandra Brown illuminates about narcissistic abuse is groundbreaking.

I was gripped by how the author described the people who are the perpetrators of trauma bonds. It was the first book that I had read about domestic violence that did not blame the victim.

In fact, the author presented personality research that changed my whole perception of the victim in a trauma bond.

From Nadine's list on The best books about trauma bonds.
