Maria France Hirigoyen

In this groundbreaking account – already an international best-seller – Dr Marie France Hirigoyen lays bare the destructive hidden’ phenomenon of emotional abuse. She argues that while emotional abuse is not as visible as physical abuse, it is equally violent and perhaps even more widespread. It is a crime whose aim is, she says, ‘a virtual murder of the soul.’ Illustrating her points with gripping case histories from her own therapeutic practice plus popular examples, Hirigoyen analyses the psychology of abusers and their victims.
