The subject is emotional abuse―the ongoing process whereby one person attempts to destroy the will, needs, desires, or perceptions of another. The object is the well-educated, high-functioning professional woman.
Dr. Joan Lachkar examines the origins and early warning signs of the psychological violation she describes as a dance between abuser and abused. She goes on to introduce typologies of each (the narcissistic or passive-aggressive abuser, the unentitled self) and to explore the bases for their collusive attachments.
Addressing therapeutic functions like empathy, containment, and countertransference, and following a couple's evolution from a state of fusion through transitional two-ness to emerging separateness, dependent and interdependent, Dr. Lachkar applies her psychodynamic approach to treatment, informed by object relations and self psychology, and complete with guidelines for technique and practical suggestions for the couple.

The Many Faces of Abuse: Treating the Emotional Abuse of High-Functioning Women Reviews
-
As an independent high-functioning woman at 24, the only advice I would provide for ladies like me is TURN AROUND AND RUN when you met a bossy abuser boyfriend. You can never save him or you can never change him.
Take care for your own and good luck!
Love is everywhere around and it does Not hurt. -
very informative
