Psychotherapist and former cult-survivor Daniel Shaw's theory of traumatic narcissism describes the deeply damaging impact of a "traumatizing narcissist" who subjugates others through control and exploitation, rather than focusing on the narcissist's own character traits.

In this book Wade Mullen introduces us to the world of impression management--the strategies that individuals and organisations utilize to gain power and cover up their wrongdoings. Mullen reveals a pattern that accompanies many types of abuse, almost as if abusers are somehow reading from the same playbook. Useful in how it explores classic organisational abuse strategies.
