Attain Family Scapegoats-A Hidden Epidemic: Are You The Scapegoat In Your Family? Created By Patricia Jones M.A Available In Ebook

would love to give this bookstars, but itdesperately needed an editor,goes way overboard on Jesus,makes giant unscientific leaps of fancy, andalienates any other non Christian views.
Sadly, there is a valuable book hiding inside this book, If the author had stepped back, and removed the religiosity, I could envision a real best seller.
Hopefully, she will read this review, edit the book, and try again, I really hate to be this blunt, but this topic is vitally important, As a UK Family Physician GP and psychotherapist in training and Christian, I think this is probably the worst book I have ever read since I qualified as a doctorodd years ago.
It is aweful psychology, dreadful theology and Bible scholarship and is a complete waste of money, Worse than that in my view it is toxic , likely to cause harm and certain to cause disappointment.
I have read every one of itspages, it is very repetitive and very overlong and badly edited.
At times I felt it almost becomes a rant, It does contain a few reasonable descriptive pages with quite a good account of narcissism and scapegoating but that's it.
Those pages are very different in style to the rest of Jones's rambling book, Walk away from the narcissist is the books really only wandering conclusion and only advice, It's bible quotes are with few exceptions unhelpfully used and worse they are often twisted out of all recognition of what good Christian theology and Bible scholars would bring to this subject.
I have considered what I am writing here six months because I have never written such a devastating review before.
I actually repeatedly shouted in anger reading this book it outraged me so much, which is another first for me.
I was sadly brought up by a narcissist also and I do get Jones's hurt and her concern for people harmed by these sad individuals but sadly, after much consideration, I feel it is my duty to write that this is a dreadful and potentially harmful book and to advise you to avoid it.
I was introduced to it by a dear friend brought up with a narcissist and it took her over a year to begin to recover from the confusion and mix up reading this book added to her already difficult emotions problems and spiritual issues.
However, do look elsewhere for help as there is a lot of good stuff written out there to be found.
There are therapists and counsellors available too and do shop around until you find one right for you as I have over the years.
This book I believe is seriously bad in overall content and very badly written and in summary, I think you would be better not to buy it.
Further I take the view that should consider withdrawing it from sale as this is the sort of work that can diminish the reputation of a publishing brand.
Time is precious which makes me regret buying this book, VERY repetitive. Poorly organized. Lack of cohesion and flow, Poor use of Scripture. There was some good information but the author could have said it less

than half the space.
I appreciate that the author wrote from the heart, but an experienced editor would have made this a much effective piece of work.
At no point did I buy this book thinking I would frequently be quoted scripture! Im a Christian, but did not expect or appreciate the religious slant found within.
The books description fails to inform of this, and I actually wonder if the omission is intentional.
There are some good points in this book, although you will also find those points in blogs/youtube videos, etc.
It is unfortunate that this is so poorly written, and I can't read it without being distracted by all the grammatical mistakes sentence fragments, using an apostrophe to make a plural, etc.
I'm very disappointed that someone publishes something important but doesn't know how to use an editor or copyeditor to make it worth reading.
Patricia Jones, M. A. provides help, hope and advice for how to understand what scapegoating actually is and how to prevent this form of abuse from one's own family of origin, by removing yourself as their “target” and finally finding peace in your adult years.
Patricia Jones, M. A. has written this book to those who have discovered that they are the Scapegoat in their families of origin and who as grown adults are still begin scapegoated by their families.
The tactics used by these families are slander, lies, blaming, ostracizing the scapegoat, and a complete lack of love and respect, among other things.
These toxic methods are so toxic, that their families will even slander the scapegoat to the other relatives and friends of the scapegoat so that it infiltrates their entire extended families and friends.
Finding themselves in a "no win" situation with their narcissistic family members, they are desperate to find the answers to this puzzling dilemma and are searching for peace in their lives and a way to end this toxic treatment by their own families.
Patricia Jones, M. A. is a therapist who was the scapegoat in her own family of origin and she has written this book as a witness and testimony revealing how she came to understand that there is an evil pattern of "narcissism and psychopathic traits" in these very dysfunctional family members that creates a favorite "golden child" sibling or siblings who can do no wrong, and the "targeted Scapegoat child" who is completely innocent and who does not deserve such unfounded and unjust treatment from their parents and siblings.
As a counselor who has counseled hundreds of scapegoats from all over the world, Patricia Jones, M.
A. has determined that being the Family Scapegoat has reached "epidemic levels" and is the cause of intense suffering for those "targeted" by their own families for such abuse.
She reveals the "root cause" of how and why this is occurring and the solution to how to stop the generational cycle of abuse that occurs in these families.
And finally Patricia Jones, M, A. gives hope and confidence to the scapegoated person, detailing how they are not the problem within their dysfunctional families, and never were.
It is the narcissistic family members who are the problem and who have been "gas lighting" the scapegoat for their entire lives.
She shows the scapegoat how to remove themselves permanently as the "family target" and to move on with their lives without guilt and remorse, and who then can begin to enjoy their lives and find the happiness that has eluded them for years and that they so deserve.
