“Character Disturbance” presents a framework by which almost anyone can understand all the major personality types, what makes them the way they are, how they think, how they conduct their relations with others, and what a reasonable person has to do to avoid being abused or exploited by life’s most unsavory characters.

Neither party in an abusive relationship ever finds the motivation to change the status quo unless the principles of responsible behavior take precedence over “understanding.”

The truth about human nature lies somewhere in the middle of the various extremes sometimes espoused by psychologists, behavioral scientists, philosophers and religious thinkers.

The “ten commandments” of character are just one of the major features of my new book “Character Disturbance” that address what has to occur in a person’s character formation to enable them to function in a truly adaptive, pro-social way.

Dealing with disturbed characters effectively requires a completely different strategy from traditional methods.
