A new book, Stalking the Soul, about the impact of emotional abuse

[Guest guest]

Below is the link to a book that's been recommended at the support group for the

adult children of narcissistic pd parents. It has recently been translated into

English from the original French, and its about " outing " emotional abuse.

Here's an excerpt from the publisher's blurb:

" " Stalking the Soul " is a call to recognize and understand the devastating

impact of emotional abuse and, most importantly, to overcome it. Sophisticated

yet wholly accessible, this landmark account is vital reading for health

professionals and victims of abuse, as well as for the concerned public. In 1995

Goleman showed the world that emotions shape our intelligence. Today

Marie-France Hirigoyen shows that emotions shape our entire being -- indeed, our

very soul. "

It covers verbal/emotional abuse and bullying by parents toward their children,

by children against other children (school bullying) and by co-workers and

bosses on the job.

I'm going to ask my library if they can order it for borrowing.

I think its very encouraging that awareness is growing not only here in the USA

but in other countries as well, that emotional abuse as well as physical and

sexual abuse of children is unconscionable and has a bad impact on our society

as a whole and not just on the individual children who are victims of it.

Thanks, Annie!

This book looks terrific, albeit pricey. I have added it to my Amazon wish list

in the hopes I can get it cheaper over the next few months. I plan on

recommending it to my T as well.
