Something's Not Right

"Am I imagining things . . . or could this be abuse?"
Using the term abuse may seem extreme, a label for what happens to other people, not you. Yet when you think about a certain relationship or institution, you just can't shake the feeling that something's not right.

Something's not right. In his debut book, researcher and advocate Wade Mullen introduces us to the strategies individuals and organizations employ to gain power and cover up their wrongdoings. Abusers of all kinds use these patterns to control and coerce, to keep their victims silent. If we can learn to decode these methods--if we can learn the language of abuse--we can begin to stop the cycle of destruction in our lives.

Something's Not Right will help you identify and describe tactics that were previously unidentifiable and indescribable, giving you the language--and courage--you need to move toward freedom and create a safer future for yourself and others.

Wade Mullen, Phd, is a professor, researcher, and advocate working to help those trapped in the confusion and captivity that mark abusive situations. His personal experiences and ongoing research enable him to write with both care and expertise.
