From warning signs to coping strategies Ross relates the frequently subtle process of manipulation that draws unsuspecting people into abusive situations in the name of love. He offers a synthesis of research and first-hand observations based upon professional experience. Learn to avoid a controlling relationship or how a careful considered family response can help the victim of an abusive partner break free.

"This DVD should be seen by every person entering the dating scene. A superb account of the manipulation, control aspects and red flags of an abuser's behavior that will enable everyone to spot these predators. This DVD is a magnificent breakthrough--a must-have for every classroom, women's shelter, and abuse websites everywhere."
