Difficult Personalities: A Practical Guide to Managing the Hurtful by Helen McGrath, Hazel Edwards

Difficult Personalities: A Practical Guide to Managing the Hurtful

We all have people in our lives who frustrate, annoy or hurt us. Consider those who claim 'I'm always right!', workplace bullies, or obsessive personality types. And most of us hurt others occasionally, too.

In Difficult Personalities Dr Helen McGrath and Hazel Edwards take common situations and offer strategies to help, including:

anger and conflict management
achieving empathy
optimism and assertion
making decisions about difficult relationships

This is a reassuring guide to dealing with the challenging behaviour we encounter daily, as well as with our own. It's an essential resource for understanding, living with or working with people whose behaviour is frustrating, confusing or damaging.

There's a Hippopotamus on Our Roof Eating Cake

By Hazel Edwards & Deborah Niland

The imaginary Hippo can do what he likes on the roof. In fact, he does all the things a little girl wishes she could, but is not allowed. When she takes a bath, the hippo takes a shower; when she goes to bed, the hippo watches television on the roof. And when the repair men come to fix the roof, the hippo conveniently disappears, returning of course to eat a very large piece of cake.
