Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can't always avoid becoming a manipulator's target, but you CAN avoid becoming a victim. This revealing book gives you the power to resist the people who want to control you. Who is pushing your buttons—and what can you do about it? Coping with Control and Manipulation: Making the Difference Between Being a Target and Becoming a Victim examines the various spheres in which people encounter control and manipulation and shows how avoiding such victimization is absolutely possible. Knowing the players, understanding what motivates them, identifying their goals, and learning the techniques they use can help potential victims avoid, or at least survive, control and manipulation attempts. In her comprehensive look at this potentially harmful human drive, clinical psychologist Vera Sonja Maass shows just how prevalent control and manipulation are. She examines manipulators' goals and techniques as they relate to personality structure and offers a "menu" of techniques commonly used to exercise control. Arming readers through an in-depth analysis of controllers' behaviors toward targeted persons, Dr. Maass enables such targets to predict future actions—and prepare responses that will prevent victimization.

Download or read book The Manipulative Child written by Ernest W. Swihart, Jr. and published by Bantam. This book was released on 1998-03-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do so many of our kids--raised in the most affluent nation on earth--fail to thrive and strive and enter adulthood lacking appropriate and effective coping skills? Drs. Swihart and Cotter have come up with a revolutionary theory on why our kids are having such a tough time of it today: It is because we allow our children to manipulate us, and the world around them, rather than teaching them how to respond to life and life's tough situations. The result is that manipulative behavior is directly tied to low self-esteem, which only heightens its negative impact on kids, families, and the larger communities we live in. The good news is that Drs. Swihart and Cotter have created a radical and clinically proven program for breaking manipulative behavior and getting our kids back on track. The program teaches parents to say no without feeling guilt; to resist the urge to feel responsible for their child's happiness; to view their children as emotionally competent and resilient; and most importantly, to realize that effective parenting means allowing your child to make mistakes and develop a sense of competence, which leads to enhanced self-esteem and an ability to live independently and successfully in the real world. Drawing on their twenty-five years in private practice, the authors illustrate their program with examples of successful kids, as well as case studies of how parents have regained control and effectively blocked their children's manipulative behavior. The positive results will enlighten, and even astound you, and give you the tools needed to become a better parent.

Manipulation can simply mean instilling fear. While manipulation might be easier, it is going to cause a lot of more difficult things in the end that you will have to clean up afterwards! There are common types of manipulators out there and you might be able to sense this personality trait in another person right away. Similarly, you will also recognize that there are hidden qualities that won't always emerge at first. Not all manipulative behaviors presented by an individual indicates that she is a malicious person.

Ensure you are aware of your own body language as well so as not to be manipulated by others. This book reveals that manipulation is generally a way for a person to get the things that they desire most. We all have basic human needs and instincts that drive our behavior. If we are not careful with how we go about getting these things, we can hurt others. The more equipped we are with the skills needed for positive influence, the easier it will be to achieve our deepest desires in a healthy way that benefits many. To continue to grow your level of influence, remember that it starts with small moments of persuasion. Don't tell people what to do, encourage them from personal experience and stories learned from others. Don't try and trick someone into doing the things they don't want to do. Be honest with reward and consequence so that they can properly make the decision for themselves. While it might be hard to do the right thing in times where what is easiest will also benefit you the most, remember to be empathetic towards others.

Book excerpt: 55% OFF for Bookstores ! Have you ever been in a situation where... You were persuaded into doing something you didn't want to do, and it backfired on you? Someone obtained your trust by lying to you, and then used it against you for their gain? You felt invisible at work or social gathering, and couldn't make your voice heard or people notice you? Psychological manipulation is a form of social influence that seeks to change the behaviour or perception of others through deceptive, exploitative, devious, and abusive tactics and strategies. This type of manipulation can be employed both negatively, for example in order to advance the interests of the manipulator, or positively, for example in order to change a person's bad habits or behaviour. In practice, social persuasion forms part of our everyday lives, for instance many people have advanced someone's goals in order to get them to do them a favour in return. Influencing others is often how we obtain jobs and promotions, we sell products and services, and we may gain fame and notoriety. However, psychological manipulation takes persuasion to a whole new level with manipulators using a vast array of tactics, behaviours and strategies to ruthlessly leverage peoples' vulnerabilities. Some people may only rarely manipulate others, whilst other people may manipulate others every day. What is more, people may be manipulated within their own family network and also regularly within personal relationships. Here's what you'll be able to do: Instantly recognize signs of manipulation and mind control Discover whether and why you are more vulnerable to dark psychology Get to know manipulating techniques, so you'll never fall victim to it again Use defensive tactics to beat manipulators at their own game Successfully read body language and develop alertness to even the most subtle persuasion attempts Change your perception of yourself by using Neuro-linguistic programming techniques And much more!
