Sam Vaknin, Abuse, Torture, And Trauma and Their Consequences and Effects,

http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/traumatortureabuse.pdf

There are some problems in the latter work particularly, most notably, on p. 99 he advocates the use of psychotropic medications for things like anxiety and depression. But that can never be justified for any type of psychological problem. And on p. 93 he says: “Victims are not a uniform lot. In some cultures, abuse is commonplace and accepted as a legitimate mode of communication, a sign of love and caring, and a boost to the abuser’s self image. In such circumstances, the victim is likely to adopt the norms of society and avoid serious trauma.” In my view, this is nonsense. Just because trauma is concealed doesn’t mean that it’s not there. Besides, the author is implicitly conceding that there’s no autonomy involved in the adoption of society’s norms under such a condition, hence there’s coercion and therefore great harm, from a humanistic standpoint.
