Structural Abuse - Classes

Classes

There are three kinds of structural abuse:

  1. Imposed interference with an individual's personal space-time-energy control;
  2. "Normal" interferences with an individual's ability to control relationships and their construction;
  3. Missing connections that harness the physical, mental and emotional energies of a person over a protracted period, thus causing damage to both the relationship and the physical and emotional wellbeing of the person being kept waiting.

Structural abuse is indirect, and exploits the victim on an emotional, mental and psychological level. It manifests itself in specific situations within each cultural, social, corporate and family framework.

    Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
