It’s heartening to hear that An Garda Síochána is taking this horrendous crime very seriously.
In addition to the physical and emotional abuse, many victims often face tactics from their tormentor in which they are isolated by their abuser.Īnother common stratagem is for the controller to work on making their victim feel guilty for spending time with family and friends.Ĭan you imagine a greater, more confined hell, than to live in fear of one’s own partner? I spent much of my working life as a clinical psychotherapist, assisting victims of such manipulative behaviour.Ĭoercive control is a pattern of oppressive behaviour which is intended to control another human being by stripping away their sense of self. But this behaviour has been here - hidden in society - for far too long. Recent appalling events have brought this emotive subject into the public sphere and triggered an overflow of abhorrence in the media regarding this conduct. Sir - Coercive control has recently been highlighted in a much-needed public way.
