Something About Me and My Book:
From Publishers Weekly
Did he promise you the stars and play you like a musical instrument?" Then you know the manipulative man. Psychotherapist McCoy presents a chilling exposé of 10 types of manipulators ("Mama's Boys," "Eternal Jocks," etc.) who prey on women's neediness and gullibility. This is not a feel-good book, yet it's compellingly readable. McCoy (The Ultimate Book of Personality Tests) is a police consultant, and her work may be what creates the grim undertone. She uses case studies from her counseling practice, blow-by-blow deconstructions of each type's manipulative techniques and tests to determine which type the reader may be dealing with. Most valuable are the chapters on narcissists and psychopaths. These predators are the most dangerous because they can make themselves seem so appealing, flattering and fun at the beginning of the relationship. The author also has good advice for women involved with violent manipulators. In all cases, McCoy warns, "You do not 'know' a manipulative man; he has worked diligently at spinning a web of contradictions, confusion and falsehoods." Wrapping up, McCoy offers suggestions for women seeking healthy relationships, noting those who are self-confident are less likely to fall for a charmer's manipulative wiles. (June 7)

Must be fascinating work, Dr. McCoy, dealing with, or studying, such personalities. Maybe it's why I'm attracted to it in some small way, include such characters in my fiction writing, why I liked Columbo so much as a fictional t.v. character, always dealing with and out-smarting the egotist. Same for James Lee Burke's stories, which are heavy with miscreants and other psycho-social freaks. Individual social deviants are one thing to isolate and study, but wouldn't it be something if we could make progress, or find promise, in dealing with the anti-social perverts created by cultural development, such as the Taliban. Unless we are and I'm missing something, which is a good possibility.

Best wishes for your work. Damn, and you seem to even get paid for it. What a gig.

By the way, not sure if you do fiction, but, if so, have you considered signing into www.crimespace.ning.com?
