The Betrayal Bond: Breaking Free of Exploitive Relationships by Patrick Carnes Phd PDF

Author: Patrick Carnes Phd

In The Betrayal Bond, Dr. Carnes presents an in-depth study of these relationships; why they form, who is most susceptible, and how they become so powerful. Dr. Carnes also gives a clear explanation of the bond that compels people to tolerate the intolerable, and for the first time, maps out the brain connection that makes being with hurtful people comparable to ‘a drug of choice.’ Most importantly, Carnes provides practical steps to identify compulsive attachment patterns and ultimately to change or end them for good.
