Book Description

May 5 2003

Fourteen years since its first publication, the bestsellerNasty People has been revised and updated to cover the motivations of nasty people, how to avoid confrontation with a nasty boss, how to handle a nasty spouse, and much more, including:

  • How to break the cycle of nastiness
  • A new understanding of personality disorders and depression
  • Narcissism, nasty behavior, and self-doubt
  • Nasty people and self-validation
  • The role adrenaline plays in nasty behavior and our responses to it.

Everyone knows a person who has been hurt, betrayed, or degraded by nasty individuals or has experienced it themselves. In three books, Jay Carter, Psy. D., shows readers how to stop this cycle of overt and covert abuse, without resorting to nasty tactics. Now for the first time, this series is released together to cover all areas of dealing with difficult people. With straight-talking advice, real-life anecdotes, and psychology that makes sense, Carter explains how to handle and stop painful behavior that harms both the perpetrator and the victim.

First Sentence
It's hard to recognize an invalidator, because a truly good one can bypass the scrutiny of your logical mind, and his victim will find himself feeling bad without knowing why. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Jay Thank You A Bunch!!!! Feb 6 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I almost died in joy when I read this book. My spouse has been living all his life with his invalidator mom. He is a polite and nice guy but he can't stand on his own. He had to discuss everything with her. When we were married, his mom always tried to control our life and he agreed with her. His mom said things bad to me (in front of me or behind my back) but NEVER in front of her son. Sometimes I told him about all these things, he wouldn't believe me cause 'how can a mom do such a things?' conversation. She is the "1%" Jay describes in his book. And I was the typical 'victim' in his book. I got into car accident cause I was frustrated with my marriage and later I developed a chronic illness. Finally, I had the guts with the support of my family and friends to finally leave the marriage and let him observe his mom's behaviour.

Then one day he went to a bookstore and saw this book. Cause I always called his mom 'nasty' person. So he read and called me right away. Of course he believes a psychologist than me! Then he finally realized that he has been living with bunch of invalidators (his mom and his siblings) and his mom's friends!

After difficult marriage and a separation, I finally feeeellll good and liberated! Of course, Jay's book doesn't tell you to hit the road. I've decided to end the relationship cause it really ate my body away and I'm afrad that I go bitter and pass it on to people subcontiously.

To Jay, thank you very much. Though my marriage didnt work, but at least, my ex now realizes that an invalidator can exist in a sweet person (this happens to be his mom) and he really understood now how I really felt during our marriage.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's not that great Jan 29 2004
Format:Paperback
I bought this book at a store on a whim because I wanted to learn more techniques for dealing with "Nasty People." Instead, it was a book that identified "invalidators" over and over and over. The only definition that I'm left with is: Invalidators are people who make you feel bad. I don't see why there had to be pages upon pages of defining people who, basically, make you feel bad. Especially since, it only takes one sentence.

I was looking for practical examples and suggestions on dealing with nasty people and instead I found an author who seems to have written a vendetta against anyone that has made him feel bad or question himself. I don't care about an author's problems--I do care about an informed person who has tried and true ways of dealing with nasty people.

The last chapter has SOME examples and ways to deal with nasty people, but he says it's up to the reader to find his (or her) own ways. O.K., well then, why did I buy your book? I did give this book two stars because it was an easy read and helped to identify "invalidators."

A suggestion to the author: Rename your book to "Nasty People: How to identify them and gain some knowledge in finding ways to deal with them."

The most disturbing thing about this book is the amount of glorious reviews it has here. In my opinion, it isn't good and I warn readers that you won't be buying a book on how to deal with nasty people, but how to identify them. I suggest that a potential customer shop around on Amazon more before considering buying this book.
