Do you know a nasty woman? Someone who always puts you down in front of others? Who constantly reminds you of your shortcomings? Lies to you? Most of us, at some point, have been hurt, betrayed, or degraded by a nasty woman. Now Jay Carter, Psy.D, shows us how to put a stop once and for all to this cycle of overt and covert abuse without resorting to nasty tactics. With straight-talking advice and real-life anecdotes, he explains how to handle a whole cast of nasty characters. A lot has happened since Jay Carter published the first edition of Nasty People and Nasty Men with Contemporary Books more than a decade ago. He now has his Psy.D., is a full-time motivational speaker and lecturer, speaking across the country 4 to 5 times a week. Nasty Women will be the third book in this "nasty" series and was conceptualized after hearing many women and men ask Dr. Carter when he was going to write about Nasty Women. This book appeals to women who are interested in learning about how men perceive them at times. It's also for women who want to know how to deal with the nasty women they encounter in their lives, whether it is their mother, sister, boss or coworker (biggie), etc. Women do not always understand other women and Jay Carter will provide insight into different temperaments and how best to deal with each one effectively and rationally. Men who need to know how to communicate with the women in their lives or coexist with a woman coworker or boss will also find this book valuable. Dr. Carter discusses misunderstandings between men and women and why women may react in a nasty way when communication breaks down. A section on women who use nastiness as a defense mechanism is included to shed light on why women sometimes "take it out" on their men, become spiteful or catty, and withdraw and become fearful of relationships. Nasty People and Nasty Men are proven sellers and Nasty Women will generate a lot of controversy, insight, and discussion. As stated above, the author speaks full-time on the subjects of Nasty People and Nasty Men and specialized in anger-management workshops.
