Controlling People: Controllers use verbal abuse to subtly undermine their victim's perceptions, to manipulate them into doing what they want, to foster dependency, to isolate them from truth, from outside contact and even from their own children. They may withhold information while lying to their victim.. Controllers create confusion, emotional pain and mental anguish, while periodically "rescuing" their victim by seeming to offer the balm of love that alleviates the victim's pain drawing the victim ever closer. Controllers gain and maintain power over people while often presenting a perfect persona to the world.

About my books, by Patricia Evans:

Each of my books covers different information.

The first, “The Verbally Abusive Relationship,” shows that verbal abuse is a lot more than name-calling and that there are a dozen main categories of verbal abuse, from the silent treatment and discounting, to threatening and name-calling.

The second book, Verbal Abuse Survivors Speak Out,” explains other forms of control, coping, and has a largesection on recovery.

The third, “Controlling People,” clearly lays out what goes on in the mind of the person who uses verbal abuse to control someone, or some group. There is nothing else like it. -Dr. David L. Quinby Professor, Emeritus, Dept. of Psychology, Youngstown State University says, "Human kind urgently needs this, both on an individual and a collective level.Nothing else seems to be working very effectively."

The fifth book, "The VerballyAbusive Man-Can He Change?" shows the reader exactly what to do to wake up a person who indulges in verbal abuse, but thinks that either they don't indulge in verbal abuse or think that they are provoked to be abusive when no one has abused them. Some people respond to verbal abuse, such as:"You're too sensitive, with a comment like "You're being a jerk." They don't know how to respond in a non abusive way. This book help to sort it all out and is ideal for partners of people who indulge in verbal abuse, and likewise is ideal for people who want to stop being verbally abusive.

What Verbal Abuse Is

This site is dedicated to the recognition and prevention of verbal abuse in homes, schools and workplaces. Verbal abuse includes withholding, bullying, defaming, defining, trivializing, harassing, interrogating, accusing, blaming, blocking, countering, diverting, lying, berating, taunting, putting down, edifying, discounting, threatening, name-calling, yelling and raging. The Verbal Abuse web site ushers in a new millennium of increased awareness. It reflects our growing knowledge of verbal abuse--one of the worst forms of abuse anyone can experience in any ongoing relationship or association. It serves as a link to resources and information about verbal abuse. The site will grow and change as we gather information. Indeed, it was only as recently as 1992 that verbally abusive relationships were named and described. We invite you to contribute to our collective knowledge and resources. If you have a resource that you think should be included on the Verbal Abuse site, please let us know.

For quick navigation, please see our site map. Or explore the site by clicking on items of interest in the navigation bar above. Some will give you drop-down menus with new choices.
