Reseña del libro "Chantaje Emocional"
Esta obra parte del principio de que todos manipulamos hasta cierto nivel, pero el chantaje emocional es un nivel aún mayor. Quien chantajea se aprovecha de los miedos de la otra persona para hacerla sentir culpable u obligada a cumplir con sus exigencias. El libro se divide en dos partes principales: en la primera, se explica con claridad y múltiples ejemplos qué es el chantaje emocional y por qué las personas lo usan, y la segunda se enfoca en ofrecer soluciones a los lectores para enfrentar el chantaje y mejorar sus relaciones o abandonarlas, en caso de que sea lo más conveniente. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Do any of the above sound familiar? They are all examples of emotional blackmail, a powerful form of manipulation in which people close to us threaten to punish us for not doing what they want. Emotional blackmailers know how much we value our relationships with them. They know our vulnerabilities and our deepest secrets. They are our mothers, our partners, our bosses and coworkers, our friends and our lovers. And no matter how much they care about us, they use this intimate knowledge to give themselves the payoff they want: our compliance. Susan Forward knows what pushes our hot buttons. Just as John Gray illuminates the communications gap between the sexes in Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, and Harriet Lerner describes an intricate dynamic in The Dance of Anger, so Susan Forward presents the anatomy of a relationship damaged by manipulation, and gives readers an arsenal of tools to fight back. In her clear, no-nonsense style, Forward provides powerful, practical strategies for blackmail targets, including checklists, practice scenarios and concrete communications techniques that will strengthen relationships and break the blackmail cycle for good.
