In other news, our co-founder and research partner, TK Logan, has been developing an online assessment tool to identify coercive control and abuse in relationships that may not include physical violence. The absence of physical violence is often very confusing for victims of coercive control who feel emotionally and psychologically battered and sometimes stalked, but do not consider themselves victims of abuse. After the assessment is piloted and finalized, it promises to help people recognize coercive control, the harms it can cause and the risk it may portend, and steps they can take to enhance their safety and get help. It will be available on Dr. Logan’s website, www.coercivecontrol.org, with a link on this website.
