Dr. Wilson has done a superb job of summarizing control issues which dominate and destroy both internal rest and relationships. Even for those who do not recognize the subtle patterns of denial in their lives and interactions, this book is a real eye-opener. Whenever we can locate a copy, I use this with clients in outpatient psychotherapy. The links between safety issues and unrecognized attempts to control are very helpful, and the author shares with candor from her own experiences, yet does not confuse her issues with others', as she recognizes different manifestations of these dynamics. Her faith in Jesus Christ is easily shared and offers hope to those needing safety which they can no longer delude themselves into thinking they can produce on their own.
