It is a real help to have Dr. Enroth’s book available online. Many other sources are online to help now, also, though Enroth’s is one of the best because it is so thoroughly researched.
I’ve been trying to collect sources on spiritual abuse and put links to them in one place to make it easier for people in abusive situations.
