Controlling People

I read this book as an extension of some research I'm doing on a paper. I've been reading about control, covert aggression, passive aggression, APD, sociopathy, etc.

This book falls into a more general relationships section. I guess bought by people who are having distress from partners, colleagues, children or parents who are controlling on nature or their relationships are uneven in power.

There seem to be quite a lot of similar books on these subjects, e.g. dysfunction in relationships. There seem to be a lot of stories/case studies to illustrate the ideas going on here.
I feel it could have conveyed the message in a more direct way and therefore a thinner book.

I guess the take away was ‘locus of control', they will not change, if you will not change - it's up to you.
