CONTROLLING PEOPLE
This book is available NOW to order
An interpersonal communications specialist, Evans has written a timely book that not only helps readers free themselves from controlling types but also seeks to explain the occurrence of verbal abuse, battering, stalking, harassment, hate crimes, gang violence, tyranny, terrorism, and territorial invasion. What she calls a "compelling force" overcomes these controllers; because they sense the overwhelming "psychic pain, distress, and discord permeating the world," they must impose a twisted kind of order on their friends, lovers, and acquaintances. Often, she continues, people with good intentions end up doing the opposite of what they would need to do to realize a goal or fulfill a need.

From the editor :
Does this sound like someone you know?
· Always needs to be right
· Is threatened by people who are "different"
· Tells you who you are and what you think
· Feels attacked when questioned
· Implies that you're wrong or inadequate
· Doesn't seem to really hear or see you If any of the above traits sounds familiar, help is on the way! In Controlling People, best-selling author Patricia Evans (The Verbally Abusive Relationship) tackles the "controlling personality," and reveals how and why these people try to run other people's lives. She also explains the compulsion that makes them continue this behavior-even as they alienate others and often lose those they love.
Controlling People helps you unravel the senseless behavior that plagues both the controller and the victim. Can the pattern, or spell, be broken? Yes! says the author.
By understanding the compelling force involved, you can be a catalyst for change and actually become a spell-breaker. Once the spell is broken and the controller sees others as they really are, a genuine connection can be forged and healing can occur.
Should you ever find yourself in the thrall of someone close to you, Controlling People is here to give you the wisdom, power, and comfort you need to be a stronger, happier, and more independent person.
