Overcoming the devastation of legal abuse syndrome

This highlights the author's experiences for over twenty years as a marriage and family counselor. This addresses the victims of legal abuse from a psychological therapeutic perspective. The objective is to move the victim beyond their predicament into positive action and thinking. The cases of seven victims of Legal Abuse Syndrome are included. Ms. Huffer found that many victims of the legal system suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. This is identified as Legal Abuse Syndrome, brought on by abusive and protracted litigation, prevalent in our courts. A central point of Ms. Huffer's book is that victims in America are not only assaulted by crime, but also by the abuses of power and authority administered by tax dollars intended to provide due process of law for the protection of civil rights. Ms. Huffer observes that not only does the justice system move slowly, but delays are used as strategy by attorneys to weaken their opposition economically and emotionally. Ms. Huffer notes that when courts fail as a consequence of officially sanctioned wrongdoing, it often leaves victims and vigilantes in its trail. The rage of these victims accumulates when they are not provided a satisfying place to turn. This manual provides a means of responding to the rage of the Legal Abuse Syndrome and finding the means to heal.
