One simple experience we all have had is the guy who has his legs out in the aisle and makes it impossible for us to get by. He moans, groans and sighs and makes a big deal out of having to move. And then he makes it known that you are the problem. Imagine a daily cycle of having to deal with such provoking behaviors that come from your spouse, your co-worker, your boss or someone else with whom you frequently have to associate. Even when you think you are handling things, this kind of irritating behavior from others makes you feel unhappy, frustrated, moody and angry. You feel 'stuck' and powerless in a difficult and altogether unhappy situation. For those of you who must put up with these miserable wretches each day….. Do not fear…help is at hand. Psychiatrist, Stan Kapuchinski, M.D.'s new book, Say Goodbye To Your PDI, Personality Disordered Individuals shows you how to break this cycle.

A sense of control in our lives is essential to happiness. Say Goodbye To Your PDI, Personality Disordered Individuals takes you from feeling powerless in a particular relationship to attaining a true sense of being in-charge.

Dr. K.'s divides the book into two main sections. The first deals with what you should know about personality disorder individuals, including what a personality disorder is, how a person with personality disorder behaves and how this behavior affects you. The book describes the ways you get trapped and manipulated and why you stay trapped.

The list includes: The caring person, the rescuer, the guilty person, the giver, the abused individual, the insecure one along with the ordinary individual like you and me.

'Ms. Succubus', the enchantress who sucks your attention dry and keeps on going.
'Mr. Smooth Operator', the anti-social guy whose morals include only what he can scam from you.
'Ms. Fatal Attraction', the woman who loves to hate you and lives on the borderline of reality and
'Mr. Egotist, the narcissist, who firmly believes that you exist for the sole purpose of worshipping him.

In keeping ideas simple and straightforward, Say Goodbye To Your PDI, Personality Disordered Individuals includes many "Picture This" short instances (e.g. "Think of the guy who drives 15 mph in a 45 mph zone to tick you off."). The book also gives many "True Life Adventures" examples to help the you identify with what is going on. These 'Adventures' cover areas in the daily lives of professional and business people as well as in personal situations.

For each personality problem, Say Goodbye To Your PDI, Personality Disordered Individuals describes the perplexing feelings that confuse you and what you can and more importantly cannot do to handle things better.

There are many "~Remember" remarks to help keep key points in your mind.

There are also many instances of how you should justifiably feel in the face of feeling exploited.
