Very much targeted at middle-class white women. It was written a long time ago, so I get it. The exercises are really good, though.

I adapted a lot of the exercises in this book to better serve my clients, most of whom are NOT middle-class white women. Hopefully, it will be a bit more accessible for them.

This book was imperative to me to get out of an abusive marriage. I could see fear and lack of confidence was holding me back. I could forward this book to anyone else who would like it or could use it.
