Iâm So Confused, Am I Being Abused?
By Lisa Twerski, LCSW
Domestic abuse is a reality that some unfortunately face in their marriages, and one that can be quite confusing and difficult to grapple with.
In her book, I'm So Confused, Am I Being Abused?, Lisa Twerski, LCSW explains how to differentiate between dysfunction, disorders and domestic abuse.
According to Twerski, it is important to discern "whether the emotional abuse (for example) is due to mental illness, dysfunction or is domestic abuse, because the most appropriate intervention will vary depending on what the underlying issue is in a given situation."
Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski believes that this new book "is a must-reading not only for a spouse in crisis, but also for community leaders, those who provide counseling for marital problems... and really, for every member of the Jewish community.â
I'm So Confused, Am I Being Abused? is published by Israel Book Shop and is available in Jewish bookstores and on the web.
