Do you know someone whose moods swing wildly? Do they act unreasonably suspicious or antagonistic? Do they blame others for their own problems? When a high-conflict person (HCP) has one of five common personality disorders-borderline, narcissistic, paranoid, antisocial, or histrionic-they can lash out in risky extremes of emotion and aggression. And once an HGP decides to target you, they're hard to shake. But there are ways to protect yourself. Using empathy-driven conflict-management techniques, Bill Eddy, a lawyer and therapist with extensive mediation experience, will teach you to: Spot warning signs of the five high-conflict personalities in others and in yourself. Manage relationships with HCPs at work and in your private life. Safely avoid or end dangerous and stressful interactions with HCPs. Filled with expert advice and real-life anecdotes, 5 Types of People Who Can Ruin Your Life is an essential guide to help you escape negative relationships, build healthy connections, and safeguard your reputation and personal life in the process. And if you have a high-conflict personality, this book will help you help yourself.
You will save your own life on every level if you are dealing with any toxic personality as described perfectly in this book. I never knew what a family member could do to destroy everyone around him, and did not know how to protect the one's he was hurting. I still look back and wish I had had the knowledge, such as reading this book, to understand the TOTAL devastation which an HCP will do. These personality disordered people are not something you can handle alone without the knowledge on how to deal with and protect yourself and other's they may be harming. Please read.
