I recommend it highly. She offers a quick understanding of what went wrong and how to remedy your life.

Amber Ault has written a practical handbook for recognizing and dissolving destructive and impossible relationships as constructively as possible. A must read too for all professionals who work with the lesbian and gay community. -Julie Tallard Johnson, MSW, LCSW,author of The Zero Point Agreement: How to Be Who You Already AreDr. Ault offers up something for lesbians in destructive, crazy-making relationships.

If your current relationship undermines your ease, well-being, and productivity, this book can help you get clearer about what is not working and how to take action so that you can open yourself to the possibility of having the relationship happiness you deserve.. In one small volume, Amber Ault, Ph.D., MSW spells out how three "personality disorders" (Narcissistic, Anti-social, Borderline) account for much of the toxic "come here/go away" "I love you/I hate you" and "it's all about me" drama that keeps good women in relationships that are great every once in awhile but wretchedly crazy-making most of the time. Ault, a clinical sociologist and psychotherapist, draws from clinical literature and experience, expertise in LGBT culture, and a series of interviews with lesbian and queer women who have survived relationships with toxic partners to help you determine if the trouble you are experiencing in your relationship is rooted in a partner's personality disorder. Perhaps most importantly, she provides specific skills you need to use if you are preparing to exit a toxic relationship, and detailed strategies for recovery, once you are free. Every person deserves to be in a happy, joyful, supportive relationship. W
"Raise Your Awareness Before It's Too Late!" according to J. L. LaTulippe. This book did shed light on a very challenging friendship that should never have progressed into anything more. I now have a lot more awareness about these "personality disordered" types and will RUN if/when I meet another one again.

Griggs This book speaks to a very specific problem and audience, of which I am a part. It was very healing to know that others have suffered similarly, and helpful to look at why I would be attracted to such chaos. The author asks challenging questions, and pushes the reader to be self reflective. Excellent book!. "Well-Researched and Compassionate: The Rarest Combination!" according to Peace. This book is a groundbreaking contribution to so many important fields: relationship abuse, LGBTQ struggles, personality disorders, and feminist theory. Dr. Ault tackles these difficult topics with extraordinary compassion, warmth, and understanding. She provides well-researched examples of toxic relationships throughout the book, which really helped me to
