In clear, compassionate language, they cover everything from the childhood origins of the condition to the devastating effect it has on work and personal relationships to the latest research on the subject, and offer practical, proven strategies for the angry person as well as the individual who finds himself the target of someone else's passive-aggression.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Murphy...and Oberlin...closely examine how this kind of anger, called passive-aggressive, can undermine sufferers and their relationships and make life generally miserable.--<i><b>Publishers Weekly</b></i><br><br>The revision of this book unravels common denominators, teaches how to spot and be assertive with such people, deals with all ages and both genders, and offers specific suggestions for helping professionals who work amid mixed messages and noncompliants.--<i><b>Counseling Today</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Tim Murphy, PhD</b>, is a psychologist, retired member of Congress, and former Pennsylvania state senator.
