Synopsis:
Behavioral scientists know that effective communication is an essential component of professional success, stable family life, and personal happiness. They also know that you can't communicate effectively if you aren't able to assert yourself. Written in supportive, easy-to-follow language, this workbook offers a clear, step-by-step guide designed to help anyone who has ever felt paralyzed in the face of an opposing viewpoint or an imposing individual. Proven cognitive-behavioral techniques help you set and maintain personal boundaries without becoming inaccessible, learn to be more genuine and open in relationships without fearing attack, and defend yourself when you are criticized or asked to submit to unreasonable requests. About the Authors Randy J. Paterson, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist and Program Coordinator of Changeways, a program at the Department of Psychology, University of British Columbia in Vancouver. Dr. Paterson is also an adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Psychology and associate faculty in the Department of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine at University of British Columbia.
