In this eye-opening book, you'll also discover... * 4 reasons why victims have a hard time leaving abusive relationships * Power tactics manipulators use to push their own agendas and justify their behavior *Ways to redefine the rules of engagement between you and an abuser * How to spot potential weaknesses in your character that can set you up for manipulation. * 12 tools for personal empowerment to help you maintain greater strength in all relationships Review ”Thank you for your book, In Sheep’s Clothing. My husband and I saw several counselors to help us through the problems we were having with my mother-in-law who is immature and manipulative. The counselors spent most of their time trying to get me [to accept her], instead of teaching me [as only your book did] ways to cope with her manipulation.” -- Erin, online purchaser “I've not read a more eye opening book. It hits the problem nail right on the head. If you suspect someone is manipulating you, please read this most valuable book. It will truly pull the wool off of your eyes.” ― Carnelian, a reader in New England From the Publisher Dr. George Simon knows how people push your buttons: your children--especially teens--are expert at it, as is your mate.

From the Inside Flap "[After reading In Sheep's Cloting], I am beginning to reclaim my life, find my self-respect and confidence. --Marc, a reader in Virginia From the Back Cover Modern permissiveness and the new culture of entitlement allows disturbed people to reach adulthood without proper socialization. In a book meant both for the general public and for professionals, bestselling author and psychologist George Simon explains in plain English: •How most disturbed characters think. •The habitual behaviors the disturbed use to avoid responsibility and to manipulate, deceive, and exploit others. •Why victims in relationships with disturbed characters do not get help they need from traditional therapies. •A straightforward guide to recognizing and understanding all relevant personality types, especially those most likely to undermine relationships. •A new framework for making sense of the crazy world many find themselves in when there's a disturbed character in their lives. •Concrete principles that promote responsibility and positive change when engaging disturbed characters. •Tactics (for both lay persons and therapists) to lessen the chances for victimization and empower those who would otherwise be victims in their relationships with many types of disturbed characters.
