Title: Extremely Useful Resource
Review: I found Elgin's techniques to be extremely helpful when I was struggling with remaining in an abusive situation. They helped me recognize, analyze, and divert the verbal abuse. Although it did not cure the abuser of the need to abuse, it did change the abuse to more open and easily recognized forms, that made the final solution more obvious. These techniques have been extremely useful in other instances of verbal abuse from healthy individuals, and have changed the mode of communication of those individuals towards me for the better. She gave me the power to control my language environment, and to remove myself from toxic language.
