Family scapegoating is an insidious form of “invisible” abuse that is difficult to recognize. It is therefore critical that adult survivors of dysfunctional or narcissistic family systems understand what type of abuse they are trying to recover from. In Rejected, Shamed, and Blamed, licensed psychotherapist and family systems expert Rebecca C. Mandeville uses her research findings on what she named “Family Scapegoating Abuse” (FSA) to help survivors recognize and release the damaging “scapegoat” narrative associated with the family “identified patient” role. This second revision includes additional recovery suggestions, and updated resources.

In this book you’ll discover:

● How to recognize and identify family scapegoating abuse (FSA) signs and symptoms

● Why scapegoated individuals have difficulty recognizing they are being abused

● How complex trauma (C-PTSD), betrayal trauma, and toxic shame impede FSA recovery

● Strategies to reduce fawn/submit behaviors and realign with your “true self”

● Recommended resources and therapy modalities for FSA recovery
