Product Information

People with high conflict personalities (HCPs) clog our courts as plaintiffs with inappropriate claims against their personal targets of blame, and as defendants who have harmed others and need to be stopped. Everybody knows someone with a High Conflict Personality. How can he be so unreasonable? Why does she keep fighting? Can't she see how destructive she is? Can you believe they're going to court over ______? Some HCPs are more difficult than others, but they tend to share a similar preoccupation with blame that drives them into one dispute after another-and keeps everyone perplexed about how to deal with them. Using case examples and an analysis of the general litigation and negotiation behaviors of HCPs, this book helps make sense of the fears that drive people to file lawsuits and complaints. It provides insight for containing their behavior while managing and/or resolving their disputes. Characteristics of the five high-conflict personality disorders are explored: BorderlineNarcissistic Histrionic ParanoidAntisocial Bill Eddy is a lawyer, therapist, mediator, and President of the High Conflict Institute.
