Don't speedy redirect to Psychological abuse instead Martin TB 17:34, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
This article is almost entirely plagiarized from the link provided at the end.

[edit] Very badly done
Needs a lot of cleanup; it's almost completely taken from one of the links.
[edit] Import topic that really needs improvements
This is an important subject and I hope someone with writing skill will improve upon it.
As mentioned, a lot of it is plagiarized from the website http://www.thisisawar.com/AbuseEmotional.htm ... maybe even all of it.
[quote] They attempt to destroy any outside support you receive by belittling that support in an effort to retain exclusive control over your emotions [/quote] Isolating you from your friends, family, and other emotional support, is a common tactic of the abuser. Not just by belittling them though, but by moving them away from them, forbiddening them to participate in group activities, etc. I think that should be written out in a clearer manner.
Perhaps someone could check all the nonprofit groups out there and gather information from them to quote from, and make a complete list.
I'm going to add a link to this website for battered women, since it has a lot of great information on it. http://www.in-map.net/counties/STJOSEPH/GOVERNMENT/Stjoesheriff/domestic.html Dream Focus
[edit] Merge?
I really think that this should be merged with Psychological abuse once it's changed so it's not plagiarized, because the psychological abuse article doesn't really give a definition of what it is and the part that it does give is remarkably like that of the emotional abuse definition (humiliation, degradation, isolation). Excuse my disastrous run-on sentence as I am in a hurry here. Eilicea 19:33, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Scary
The checklist reads like it was written by a perpetrator of emotional abuse (the emotional abuser refuses to use logic, preferring histrionics instead???? How judgemental!) This entry needs a lot more clarity and a lot less personal opinion. This is such a difficult, important issue: and the fogginess of the checklist will more likely serve to perpetuate emotional abuse than heal it.
[edit] Not a reliable source
I don't really feel the eqi.org link is reliable. The person has lists no credentials and instead refers to himself as an "independent writer" with only a few local radio appearances and news editorials. (I have other reservations about this site and individual but they don't have to do with it being a reliable source so I won't bring them up.) Crystallina 03:01, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Does need help
I tried to add a good link but the system rejected it. www.drirene.com This site is primarily for Verbal Abuse, but since Verbal Abuse is a subset of Emotional Abuse I thought it would be appropriate. This site is run by a REAL Dr. and has helped many people in the throes of many types of abuse. Kc7rad 04:37, 25 November 2006 (UTC).
