Emotional vampires

by Albert J Bernstein

The author of Dinosaur Brains offers protection from people who seek to destroy the emotional and psychological well-being of others--people with personality disorders. Like the fabled demons, these vampires: think their needs are more important than yours; believe "the rules" apply only to other people; and use their tempers in the same way terrorists use bombs. Emotional Vampires tells readers how to spot a "vampire" in their lives, which defense strategies to employ to prevent one from striking, and what to do if and when they find themselves under attack--From publisher description.
