AS a psychologist researching into the emotional abuse of women, I would like to hear from those who have been traumatised through a relationship where compulsive lying, deception and lack of conscience was encountered.

If your life has been torn apart through the manipulation and deception of a "charmer", please send brief details in strict confidence to me at: Health and Social Studies Department, Bolton Institute, Deane Road, Bolton BL3 5AB.
