About the book...

It sometimes seems that violence has become a way of life in America. Workplace violence, school violence, date rape, sexual assault, hate crimes – the list of ills seems to go on and on. Today, we can add terrorism and an increasing crime rate to the problems we face.

But there is good news. Interpersonal violence is almost always preceded by warning signs. Understanding the signals of impending violence means having the ability to stop aggression before it starts. That's where Surviving Aggressive People comes in...

Written in plain language, with plenty of case-studies and real-life examples, this book offers realistic violence prevention skills. The book offers plenty of insight to the psychology and process of violence.

Surviving Aggressive People picks up where every other conflict management book leaves off – at the threshold of potentially violent conflict. This book offers the ultimate self-defense: it gives the reader the knowledge, skills, and ability to prevent violence before it starts. Topics include:

  • The five ground rules for creating a safe relationship from the start
  • How to recognize the two most common types of aggressors before it's too late
  • How criminals approach their prey
  • How to respond to desperate and dangerous individuals
  • Intuition skills
  • "Power Phrases" to help you take control of a dangerous encounter
  • Tips on what not to say
  • Tips to help you escape quickly and safely
  • and much more...
