OverviewWe all have people in our lives who frustrate, annoy, or hurt us: workplace bullies, those who always claim to be right, or those with anxious or obsessive personalities. And most of us hurt others occasionally, too. Now, authors Dr. Helen McGrath, a clinical psychologist and professor, and Hazel Edwards, a professional writer, offer this extremely practical guide to dealing with the difficult personalities we encounter every day--in others, and in ourselves. Taking the American Psychiatric Association's widely used Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) as its starting point, Difficult Personalities helpfully outlines over a dozen different personality traits and types, detailing their common characteristics and underlying motivations. It also equips listeners with numerous strategies for dealing with difficult behavior, including: Anger and conflict management Optimism and assertion training Rational and empathic thinking Reexamining your own personality Full Product DetailsAuthor: Helen McGrath , Hazel Edwards , Suzie AlthensPublisher: Tantor Audio Imprint: Tantor Audio Edition: Library Edition ISBN: 9798200164011Publication Date: 16 March 2021 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Audio Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
