Coercive Control Book Recommendation: Nobody’s Victim: Fighting Psychos, Stalkers, Pervs, and Trolls
I interrupt our regularly scheduled blog post intended to cover the 5 Doubles & DARVO to make a book recommendation.
Although the book Nobody’s Victim: Fighting Psychos, Stalkers, Pervs, and Trolls was published in 2019, I didn’t hear about it until this week on Twitter. And, although it doesn’t refer to coercive control or coercively controlling patterns of behavior by name (at least not in the 20% of the book I’ve read so far)… it sure does a great job of giving real life examples of coercive control.
Coercive control occurs most frequently in domestic abuse, domestic violence, human trafficking and extremist groups (cults), but the pattern of behavior can exist anywhere you can find coercive controllers… which is pretty much everywhere. This book does a fabulous job of revealing patterns of coercive control in contexts you might not expect to find it, as well as within gender-based violence, the most common context.
In my next post I will return to the 5 Doubles and DARVO of the PsychoSocial Quicksand Model™ of Coercive Control.
Stay tuned…
