A practical guide to better communication that will break the blackmail cycle for good, by one of the nation's leading therapists, Susan Forward. "Breathe a sigh of relief Susan Forward helps you identify and correct an intensely destructive and confusing pattern of relating with those you love. I highly recommend this important book "--Susan Jeffers, Ph. D., author of Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway"If you really loved me...""After all I've done for you...""How can you be so selfish..." Do any of the above sound familiar? They're all examples of emotional blackmail, a powerful form of manipulation in which people close to us threaten to punish us for not doing what they want. Emotional blackmailers know how much we value our relationships with them. They know our vulnerabilities and our deepest secrets. They are our mothers, our partners, our bosses and coworkers, our friends and our lovers. And no matter how much they care about us, they use this intimate knowledge to give themselves the payoff they want: our compliance. Susan Forward knows what pushes our hot buttons. Just as John Gray illuminates the communications gap between the sexes in Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, and Harriet Lerner describes an intricate dynamic in The Dance of Anger, so Susan Forward presents the anatomy of a relationship damaged by manipulation, and gives readers an arsenal of tools to fight back.

Buch des Monats Oktober 2000 "Wenn du das tust, ist es aus mit uns." - "Du darfst mich nie verlassen, alleine schaff' ich das Leben nicht!" - "Wenn du dich von mir scheiden läßt, siehst du deine Kinder nie wieder." - "Ich will doch nur dein Bestes!" Emotionale Erpressungsversuche hat fast jeder von uns schon erlebt. Die "Erpresser" - der Partner, Freunde, Eltern, Vorgesetzte - wissen genau um die Schwächen ihres Opfers und nützen das schamlos aus. Denn wer mit Gefühlen unter Druck gesetzt wird, kann sich nur schwer wehren. Schließlich steht die gute Beziehung auf dem Spiel. Doch gehören immer zwei dazu - wir entscheiden selbst, ob wir die Erpressung zulassen. Die renommierte Therapeutin Susan Forward veranschaulicht mit zahlreichen Fallbeispielen, wie die emontionale Manipulation funktioniert und wie wir uns daraus befreien können. Ein unentbehrlicher Ratgeber für alle, die sich in Zukunft erfolgreich vor dem 'sanften' Druck von außen schützen wollen.
