Download or read book Living with the Passive-Aggressive Man written by Scott Wetzler and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-01-18 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than 100,000 copies in print, Living with the Passive-Aggressive Man draws on case histories from clinical psychologist Scott Wetzler’s practice to help you identify the destructive behavior, the root causes and motivations, and solutions. Do you know one of these men? The catch-me-if-you-can lover... Phil’s romantic and passionate one minute, distant and cold the next. The deviously manipulative coworker or boss... Jack denies resenting Nora’s rapid rise in the company, but when they’re assigned to work together on a project, he undermines her. The obstructionist, procrastinating husband... Bob keeps telling his wife he’ll finish the painting job he began years ago, but he never seems to get around to it. These are all classic examples of the passive-aggressive man. This personality syndrome—in which hostility wears a mask of passivity—is currently the number one source of men’s problems in relationships and on the job. In Living with the Passive-Aggressive Man, Scott Wetzler draws upon numerous case histories from his own practice to explain how and why the passive-aggressive man thinks, feels, and acts the way he does. Dr. Wetzler also offers advice on: • How to avoid playing victim, manager, or rescuer to the “P-A” • How to get his anger and fear into the open • How to help the “P-A” become a better lover, husband, and father • How to survive passive-aggressive game playing on the job Living with a man’s passive aggression can be an emotional seesaw ride. But armed with this book, you can avoid the bumpy landings.
Download or read book Out of Control written by Anne Campbell and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychologist and criminologist Anne Campbell listens to the voices of men and women as they describe their aggressive feelings, and constructs an approach to the vexed topic of gender and aggression. She argues that the crucial difference between female and male aggressiveness is that men see aggression as a means of gaining control over others, while women see it as a loss of self-control. Daughters are deeply ashamed when they get angry, but sons soon learn to associate aggression with courage and triumph. The implications of this, from rage within intimate relationships to violence in the streets and the attitude of the male establishment - including the judiciary - to women's anger and aggression, are explored.

Book Synopsis Man and Aggression by : Ashley Montagu
Download or read book Man and Aggression written by Ashley Montagu and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1973 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man and Aggression was first published in 1968 as a direct challenge to the concept of man's instinctual "aggressive drive"--A concept advanced in the newly developing science of ethology (the study of the behavior of different species) by the eminent ethologist Konrad Lorenz, and popularized in books by Robert Ardrey. The appearance of subsequent critiques of the Lorenz thesis led the editor to enlarge and revise his original collection. This second edition contains eight additional essays, strengthening the book's sustained and reasoned criticism of the still fashionable contention that ethologists can understand human behavior by observing that of lower animals. The nineteen authorities represented in this volume offer a fine dissection of this Hobbesian view of man. They note, among other phenomena, the proclivities of many kinds of mammals to live together harmoniously; they discuss the evidence for spontaneous aggression, and distinguish between defensive and predatory killing; they probe the possible cultural sources of human aggression. Also, included for the first time is an exploration of the ritual origin of cannibalism, and an examination of the writings of Desmond Morris and Anthony Storr. The book's purpose remains, in the words of the editor, "to put the record straight, to correct what threatens to become an epidemic error concerning the causes of man's aggression, and to redirect attention to a consideration of the real causes of such behavior."--Adapted from book jacket

Book Synopsis Beyond Anger: A Guide for Men by : Thomas J. Harbin
Download or read book Beyond Anger: A Guide for Men written by Thomas J. Harbin and published by Da Capo Lifelong Books. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revised and updated edition of the popular self-help book for men that addresses contemporary issues and how they impact the way men deal with anger Men tend to express their anger differently than women do. Research shows men are often more violent and less willing to confront and deal with their emotions than women. Written by a psychologist who specializes in the treatment of male rage, Beyond Anger shows the angry--and miserable--man how to change his life and relationships for the better. This book helps men understand their anger by explaining what the specific symptoms of chronic anger are and by showing angry men how their actions negatively affect family, friends, and coworkers. It helps men control violent feelings by using simple exercises--developed especially for men--to identify when and why anger occurs and by helping them form new habits to prevent anger before it starts. Women, too, will learn essential strategies for understanding and helping the angry men in their lives. Beyond Anger is honest, tough, and real. In this revised edition, Harbin will update references throughout and discuss new topics such as the role of the internet and social media in fueling anger and how to protect yourself against these pitfalls, as well as a discussion on anger and aging, the political landscape and anger, PTSD, a brand-new section on preventing relapse into anger, and many other relevant, timely topics.

Book Synopsis Theory-Based Assessment, Treatment, and Prevention of Sexual Aggression by : Gordon C. Nagayama Hall
Download or read book Theory-Based Assessment, Treatment, and Prevention of Sexual Aggression written by Gordon C. Nagayama Hall and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996-02-29 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexual aggression is a pervasive societal problem with devastating and sometimes permanent effects on its victims. Approximately one in four adults has been either a victim or perpetrator of sexually aggressive behavior. Until now, a disproportionate amount of attention has been paid to victim-based methods of prevention with a corresponding lack of emphasis on the perpetrators of sexual aggression, whose rate of recidivism is quite high. As psychologists and mental health professionals turn their attention to the assessment and treatment of sexual offenders, the need for practical, scientifically based information on sexual aggression has become clear. In this book, Gordon Hall offers suggestions based on state-of-the science theory and research. Using the Quadripartite Model of sexual aggression to provide a framework for causes and possible solutions, it breaks new ground by proposing preventive intervention with potential perpetrators. It is a valuable resource for anyone involved in mental health, criminology, and the judicial system.
