In this book, Connie Podesta and Vicki Sanderson show you how to develop healthy communication patterns with difficult people. This book will not help you change difficult people. That’s impossible.

A description of the four basic behavior patterns (assertive, aggressive, passive, and passive-aggressive)
Examples of concrete strategies for dealing with negative communication styles
Why being "nice" makes aggressive behavior worse
How you may be your own worst enemy in dealing with frustrating relationships
