Living with the Passive-Aggressive Man: Coping with Hidden Aggression - From the Bedroom to the Boardroom

With more than 100,000 copies in print, Living with the Passive-Aggressive Man draws on case histories from clinical psychologist Scott Wetzler€s practice to help you identify the destructive behavior, the root causes and motivations, and solutions.

Do you know one of these men?

The catch-me-if-you-can lover...

Phil€s romantic and passionate one minute, distant and cold the next.

The deviously manipulative coworker or boss...

Jack denies resenting Nora€s rapid rise in the company, but when they€re assigned to work together on a project, he undermines her.

The obstructionist, procrastinating husband...

Bob keeps telling his wife he€ll finish the painting job he began years ago, but he never seems to get around to it.

These are all classic examples of the passive-aggressive man. This personality syndrome€"in which hostility wears a mask of passivity€"is currently the number one source of men€s problems in relationships and on the job. In Living with the Passive-Aggressive Man, Scott Wetzler draws upon numerous case histories from his own practice to explain how and why the passive-aggressive man thinks, feels, and acts the way he does. Dr. Wetzler also offers advice on:

€ How to avoid playing victim, manager, or rescuer to the €œP-A€
€ How to get his anger and fear into the open
€ How to help the €œP-A€ become a better lover, husband, and father
€ How to survive passive-aggressive game playing on the job

Living with a man€s passive aggression can be an emotional seesaw ride. But armed with this book, you can avoid the bumpy landings.
