"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME?" We've all had friendships
that have gone bad. Whether it takes the form of a simple yet
inexplicable estrangement or a devastating betrayal, a failed friendship
can make your life miserable, threaten your success at work or school,
and even undermine your romantic relationships. Finally there is help. In When Friendship Hurts,
Jan Yager, recognized internationally as a leading expert on
friendship, explores what causes friendships to falter and explains how
to mend them -- or end them. In this straightforward, illuminating book
filled with dozens of quizzes and real-life examples, Yager covers all
the bases, including: The twenty-one types of negative friends
-- a rogues' gallery featuring such familiar types as the Blood-sucker,
the Fault-finder, the Promise Breaker, and the Copycat How to recognize destructive friends as well as how to find ideal ones The e-mail effect -- how electronic communication has changed friendships for both the better and the worse The misuse of friendship at work -- how to deal with a co-worker's lies, deceit, or attempts at revenge How to stop obsessing about a failed friendship And much more The first highly prescriptive book to focus on the complexities of friendship, When Friendship Hurts
demonstrates how, why, and when to let go of bad friends and how to
develop the positive friendships that enrich our lives on every level.
For everyone who has ever wondered about friends who betray, hurt, or
reject them, this authoritative book
