Jeremy Holmes writes: “Horrific, terrifying, unbearable – I never thought those hyperbolic adjectives would apply to a psychotherapy book.  But all ring true of this superbly curated collection of escape stories, and their painfully moving antecedents and consequences.  A compelling read for all who work with victims of control, torture, abuse, coercion and brainwashing and the perverse attachments these engender.  I was profoundly shaken by this book, but also somehow cleansed and uplifted.”
