Entrapped Downloadable Edition

Entrapped examines coercive control and the patterns of behavior that can gradually restrict another person’s freedom, independence, relationships, and ability to make decisions.

Through real-world understanding of controlling behaviors, the book helps readers recognize warning signs that are often overlooked when abuse does not involve obvious physical violence. These may include isolation from family and friends, financial control, intimidation, monitoring, manipulation, threats, humiliation, excessive rules, and the gradual erosion of personal autonomy.

Designed to increase awareness and understanding, Entrapped explores how coercive control develops, why it can be difficult to recognize from outside a relationship, and how individual behaviors can form a larger pattern of domination and control.

The book can serve as a valuable educational resource for individuals, families, advocates, educators, professionals, and others seeking a deeper understanding of coercive control and its impact. Its focus on recognizing patterns and identifying warning signs also makes it suitable for use in educational and training environments where coercive control is being studied and discussed.
