Worth it's weight in gold! Excellent Book!

I have recently finished reading this book and all I can say is WOW! The author does an excellent job of keeping things simple, and gives many examples so that you are able to identify and eliminate these people from your life. I also liked the way he took the time to explain things in a way that made sense to me personally. I am 52 now, and feel that I have been victimized by at least a dozen of these types of people during my lifetime. It seems that I always blamed myself, but now because of this book I know better. Now I know: "when in doubt keep them out!" If you have people that are making your life miserable, get this book, it offers practical solutions for eliminating them from your life.

say goodbye to PDI

The book is well written and easy to understand as well as entertaining. We all have to deal with individuals with that nagging Axis II Disorder and this book takes some of the edge of that ordeal. A great way to develop insight into how to deal more effectively with that annoying boss, coworker, in-law or acquaintance.

PDI

This book is amazing. Everyone who has worked or lived with someone who puts people down all of the time and makes you feel miserable should definitely read this book. It will help you understand it is not YOU!

Ever wish you could erase certain people from your daily life? Does the thought of never seeing a certain relative again bring feelings of peace and serenity to mind? Aside from relocating or getting adopted into another family, consider taking some advice from Dr. Stan Kapuchinski's fascinating book, "Say Goodbye to your PDI (Personality Disordered Individual): Recognize People Who Make You Miserable and Eliminate Them from Your Life for Good!" What you read will stun you.

"Say Goodbye to your PDI" is an informational self-help book, meant to supply details on specific personality disorders so the reader can analyze their own reactions to these individuals. Kapuchinski highlights five disorders: Passive-Aggressive, Histrionic, Antisocial, Borderline, and Narcissistic with lists of self-descriptions and viewpoints from each one. He hopes to not only put the reader in each of these personality's shoes, but get them to recognize how they feel when interacting with one - whether swept away or at your wit's end. Kapuchinski stresses the importance of emotional intelligence when reacting to a PDI. Not only should you know *why* you feel or think a certain way but *how* that reaction is taken by the PDI.

"Say Goodbye to your PDI" is sensibly organized, intelligently written, and appropriate to many - if not most or all - types of people. It can assist professionals in dealing with a problematic patient or client, employees in dealing with one another, or families dealing with a difficult relative. Although Kapuchinski utilizes many absolutes in his descriptions, such as "...this person will never change...that person is always looking to control you..." I think it fits well in the overall message the book is conveying. Yes, absolute-type wording is normally frowned upon as it allows for no exceptions. However, Kapuchinski's intent is not to change the PDI. It's to change the reader's way of responding and in doing so, needs words like `never' and `always' to drive his message home...and he does so with a passionate sense of total and unconditional certainty.

Most people have `that one person' in their lives that gives them headaches and heartburn. Why continue to endure them when Dr. Stan Kapuchinski prescribes "stop your misery"? "Say Goodbye to your PDI" gives you Kapuchinski's 25+ years of experience in an easy-to-swallow format that's safe for all ages. Prognosis - a happier and mentally healthier you!

Peppered cover to cover with true-life examples

Say Goodbye to Your PDI (Personality Disordered Individual): Recognize People Who Make You Miserable and Eliminate Them From You Life Is Good! is a no-nonsense guide to identifying people who are toxic, or beyond toxic - so engrossed in their own needs (which no mortal can satisfy, such as "make me the center of attention at all times"), set in their ways, and oblivious to the needs of others that there is no reasoning with them and nothing positive to be gained from interacting with them. Types of PDIs covered including passive-aggressive "blamers", the histrionic personality disorders characterized by emotional and erratic personalities, the smooth-talking anti-social con men and sociopaths, the unstable borderline personality disorders, and the egotistical narcissistic personality disorders. Peppered cover to cover with true-life examples of destructive individuals and practical advice for minimizing or eliminating contact with them, Say Goodbye to Your PDI is highly recommended.

It?s Not You . . . It?s THEM!

Have you ever hung up with your boss and felt like you were nine years old again? Do you get a pang in the pit of your stomach when you see a certain ?friend?s? number on your caller ID? Do you find yourself frequently apologizing to a family member even though you know you?ve done nothing wrong? If any of these scenarios sound familiar or you have ever felt bullied, manipulated, guilted, or threatened in a relationship, you could have a PDI!

PDI, or Personality Disordered Individual, is a psychiatric term used to identify those people with whom we must interact and who can make us feel miserable in the process. PDIs make ?toxic? people look like Santa Clause and often have unique attitude problems and behaviors that we must deal with but do not enrich, improve, enhance, boost, encourage, motivate, or inspire us. Day in and day out, they make us miserable!

Stan Kapuchinski, M.D., has encountered numerous PDIs and their victims in his private psychiatry practice for more than twenty-five years. In Say Goodbye to Your PDI, he sheds light on five types of personality disorders and teaches:

? How PDIs ensnare us into repeatedly dealing with them

? How to spot a PDI at work and in our personal lives

? Coping mechanisms to handle PDIs who we cannot eliminate from our lives

? Techniques and advice on how to get rid of a PDI for good

Say Goodbye to Your PDI will help you stop your misery and will help you deal more effectively with the users, the manipulators, the smooth talkers, and the guilt-trippers out there.

Stan Kapuchinski, M.D. , writes the widely read column ?Ask Dr. K.? A board-certified psychiatrist, Dr. Kapuchinski has served as assistant processor of psychiatry at the University of Connecticut and special psychiatric consultant in Queensland, Australia. His expertise on human relationships has made him a sought-after commentator for hundreds of television and radio outlets.
