Notes abuse"Abuse of power has always existed but today it is often disguised. Executives talk about autonomy and initiative but still demand submissiveness and obedience. Employees march to their company's drummer because they are haunted by management's bottom line, the threat of unemployment, and the constant reminder of their responsibility and therefore possible blame." (p. 68)
psychic vampirism"Abusers receive nourishment from the life energy of those who fall under their spell. By invading the psychic space of the other, they try to take possession of this gratifying sustenance." (p. 129)
