Modern permissiveness and the new culture of entitlement allows disturbed people to reach adulthood without proper socialization. In a book meant both for the general public and for professionals, best-selling author and psychologist George Simon explains in plain English:

  • How most disturbed characters think
  • The habitual behaviors the disturbed use to avoid responsibility and to manipulate, deceive, and exploit others
  • Why victims in relationships with disturbed characters do not get help they need from traditional therapies
  • A straightforward guide to recognizing and understanding all relevant personality types, especially those most likely to undermine relationships
  • A new framework for making sense of the crazy world many find themselves in when there's a disturbed character in their lives
  • Concrete principles that promote responsibility and positive change when engaging disturbed characters
  • Tactics (for both lay persons and therapists) to lessen the chances for victimization and empower those who would otherwise be victims in their relationships with many types of disturbed characters

I’ve gone through most of the literature on narcissism, causes and effects. I think this is the book that makes the most sense as well as gives a framework for recognising and dealing with character issues, without even instilling the need to label them as any particular disorder. But, for a person that had multiple interactions with what the author calls aggressive people, coming to the realisation that the abuse may have been a conscious, purely combative act of gaining control was extremely triggering.

Fantastic read
