If you've ever been caught between the wall and a human pile driver, beating you into emotional oblivion, you have learned how personal an emotional attack can be. But what if the adversary turns out to be someone you are working for, been friends with for years, or, even most difficult of all, your spouse? Dr. Paul Meier and Dr. Robert Wise will help you deal with the crazymaker in your life. Crazymakers can move by degrees from being difficult to being narcissistic. Difficult people are insensitive, tactless, careless, and inattentive, but narcissists are even more dangerous. They have absolutely no concern for others, which leads them to be treacherous or manipulative, constantly attacking another person. Both difficult people and narcissists are crazymakers: "In-charge-Marge" women and "I-hold-the-reins" men. The only way to win in a confrontation with a crazymaker is to learn to identify the real problems that lie behind the flying words and threatening fists, say authors Paul Meier and Robert Wise. Throughout this book they give you simple ways to do so. You need to pay attention to the crazymakers in your world so you can learn to deal with them from your strengths, rather than their weaknesses.
