Insightful

Patricia Evans has done it again. She has written a book that I could not put down. "Controlling People" examines much of the subtle and not so subtle behavior you and I have experienced from others, have felt uncomfortable about and even felt worse because of. I always knew someone in my family was controlling but now I have a greater understanding of the depth of the problem as well as how to respond. Very good book for those with relationships with persons who want to control them. Dee

If you have ANYONE in your life whom you feel is controlling read this book.

The is a perfect follow up to Patricia Evans book THE VERBALLY ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship for years. I read Ms. Evans first book which gave me validation that I was not the "crazy one" nor did I deserve this abuse. I was able to leave that relationship and move on. And I credit the book by Ms. Evans as a guide to give me the strength to leave. I still wondered for years why someone wants to control another. CONTROLLING PEOPLE gave some understandable answers. It is written without the psychobable that many books of this genre contain. I bought three more copies - one for each of my children - as they still have a relationship with their father who continues to attempt to control them even though they are adults. Sometimes if we can get to know "the enemy" better we can learn how to protect ourselves from their hurtful and damaging ways. Thank you Patricia Evans for this book and for all of your books! Good luck to you, the reader, should you require this help. You will receive the help you need from CONTROLLING PEOPLE. You might also find THE VERBALLY ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP to be a guide as well. There really can be light at the end of the tunnel and daybreak if you follow that light!

Very Academic, but good information

I liked this book, however, if it's the first that you read on the subject of Controlling personalities, I think that it would be too academic and dry. It does provide a broad perspective on the issue, and do feel it was worthwhile, I just realize that if you are looking for practical information on this that you can use to understand a relationship you are in you might want to read something that isn't so dry.
