Most of us, at some point, have been hurt, betrayed, or degraded by a nasty man. Now Jay Carter, Psy.D., bestselling author of Nasty People shows readers how to put a stop once and for all to this cycle of overt and covert abuse without resorting to nasty tactics themselves. With straight-talking advice and real-life anecdotes, Carter explains how to handle a whole cast of nasty characters including: The Verbal Batterer - who uses your own intimate secrets as ammunition to attack your self-esteem The Don Juan - whose charming attentiveness conceals a chronically deceitful personality The Liar - who says one thing in front of you but something else behind your back The Cro-Magnon Man - whose uncaring attitude turns your relationship into a battleground Carter shows you just what to do when these nasty men try to use guilt, manipulation, and "reason" to get their way. He also helps differentiate between truly nasty behavior from the plain, everyday frustrations that arise between men and women. You'll learn how to tell if a man is lying to you, surefire ways to stop verbal abuse, and secrets for getting your guy off the couch and into the relationship. Most important, you'll gain the confidence you need to finally stand up to the nasty men in your life.
