Abstract
SUMMARY Fostering change of psychologically abusive behavior in couples requires that helping professionals be able to recognize such behavior, to assess the couple's capacity for safety as well as their willingness to change, and to offer direction and guidance for helpful change. Following a review of the research on psychological abuse (including emotional and verbal abuse), each of these areas is discussed.
