Can anyone recommend some good books on abusive relationships and how they relate to people joining cults? I have heard of Steven Hassan in the cult area, but what about the abusive relationship aspect?

Emotional Backmail - Susan Forward

Lady Lee
Take Back Your Life by Lalich & Tobias - specifically deals with both issues and the similarities see: Captive Hearts, Captive Minds/Take Back Your Life
Emotional Blackmail mentioned aboveis excelent but it is not written about cults Emotional Blackmail and JWs and Emotional Blackmail and ex-JWs
Toxic Parents by Susan Forward is good but it is written about abusive parents. But as you read it you will see it is very easy to substitute WTS as the abusive parent Toxic Parents Toxic Religion 1 and Toxic Parents Toxic Religion 2
