The Emotionally Abusive Mindset\nThe Emotionally Abusive Mindset is written from the heart of a seasoned biblical counselor, Anne Dryburgh. The third book in her Overcoming Emotional Abuse series dives deeper into recognizing the mind frame of the abuser and the victim in various relationships. Her insights evoke a depth of discernment coupled with understanding and sympathy for those caught in the destruction of emotional abuse. This book will help pastors and biblical counselors obtain the biblical acumen to recognize abusive relationships and give sound counsel that produces a transformational change in Christ.

Author of Help! I’m A Slave to Food\nIn an engaging and truly readable style, Anne manages to present complex issues in an accessible way. Anne explores what an abusive mindset actually looks like, not just in clear definitions, but through examples and story. The second part of the book is especially helpful, showing that in Christ there is true hope for everyone. But Anne does not leave this hope as some ethereal aim, rather she grounds it in real and practical ideas. As with the other books in this series, it will prove to be a valuable resource for both professionals and non-professionals alike, as well as providing victims – and perpetrators – of abuse a guide as to how to live out a truly godly life. 
Simon Marshall,

European Christian Mission\nFor a concise, biblically focused response to emotional abuse, this is your book. Anne Dryburgh aptly presents various expressions of spousal, parent, sibling, disabled, spiritual, and elderly abuse. Then, navigating with biblical skill in a complex arena, she identifies common well-intentioned behavioral and spiritual mistakes and debunks the misuse of Scripture. Based upon the relational, functional, and substantive callings of every believer, which are carefully explained, The Emotionally Abusive Mindset champions the choice to honor God rather than yielding to an abuser’s desires. This book packs a powerfully hopeful worldview into 100 pages! A helpful tool for abuse survivors and their counselors. 
Sue Nicewander Delaney, 
MABC, ACBC\nAnne has done it again! Her writing is perspicuous, theologically accurate, and practical. If you think you might be being abused by a boyfriend or girlfriend, a spouse, or a spiritual leader this small book may help you confirm or disconfirm your perception. If you are a pastor or counselor wondering if you are dealing with a case of abuse, or if an elder or deacon has an abusive mindset, Anne can come to your rescue.

Illumine Press

In this her second book in the Overcoming Emotional Abuse series, Dr. Anne Dryburgh provides a practical and thoroughly biblical resource to use when counseling Christian women who are being treated in an emotionally abusive manner by their husbands. Questions have been added at the end of the first three chapters and are designed for the emotionally abused woman as she seeks to know the Lord and apply the principles suggested in the book. Those counselling such women will also find the questions helpful. From the Foreword 'The Emotionally Abusive Husband' is a tremendous, short book that reveals the depravity of man in a marriage relationship that has gone bad, but gives the hope of the Gospel that Christ can save us from our sins and transform our lives! Recently, this book had been used mightily in my family's lives. Thank you, Dr Dryburgh, for another compelling work! - Johnny Touchet, pastor and missionary, and founder of Partner 10:15 ministries How this book can help you The purpose of this book is to provide a resource to use when counseling Christian women who are being treated in an emotionally abusive manner by their husbands. It does not cover physical or sexual abuse in marriage and it assumes that the position of headship is one of authority. I take the view that in practice headship refers to a husband laying down his life for his wife, not laying down the law. As a result, like the response of the Church to Christ's sacrifice, a wife is more likely to respond to a husband's lead when she sees his love and sacrifice for her. Questions have also been added at the end of the first three chapters; these are designed for the emotionally abused woman as she seeks to know the Lord and apply the principles suggested in the book. Those counselling such women will also find the questions helpful. What this book is not A word of caution is necessary. Abusive situations are gravely serious. While insights have been suggested in this book, it is not the definitive answer about how to help abused women. It touches on subjects that are tremendously complicated and where time is needed to address these areas in an in-depth manner to be able to effectively help people. Well-intentioned but unwise advice can cause suffering and damage lives. Wisdom and insight are required on a case-by-case basis. There are no standard cut-and-dried answers, as someone said, 'one size does not fit all.'
