I read a few things that seemed pertinent to the recent influx of discussions on abusive relationships.

I'll just leave these here if anyone wants to have a look-see:

‘It’s like you go to abuse school’: how domestic violence always follows the same script | Society | The Guardian

Military Training Materials — The Center for the Study of Human Rights in the Americas (CSHRA)



What I'd like now is information on how to counter the brainwashing, but that information doesn't seem to exist. All the guides on helping abuse victims seem to assume that the abuse victim will eagerly comply with whatever escape method you've designed for them, but I've found that this is rarely the case on account of the brainwashing.

And if it's so easy to brainwash someone, why is it so hard to undo?
