Emotionale Erpressung

"I just want what's best for you...", "How can you be so selfish?", "We have high hopes for her, but..." Everyone has heard such phrases at some point. And then they did what partners, parents, children, friends, or bosses wanted. For the sake of relationships, careers, or simply to keep the peace. Under the guise of sympathy and affection, our souls are often manipulated. And we pay for it too. With fear, guilt, and dwindling self-esteem. In hundreds of cases, Susan Forward has experienced, analyzed, and treated this phenomenon. With her uniquely clear style, she illuminates the complex interplay that leads us into this fatal dependency. The four different types of emotional manipulation—from punitive measures to delaying tactics—are presented alongside concrete strategies and countermeasures.
