Using over two dozen compelling case examples, the author explains the dynamics and strange logic of four types of Personality Disorders which appear in disputes as High Conflict Personalities. Drawing on 30 years of dispute resolution experience in three professions, he provides a 4-Step Method anyone can use to manage High Conflict Personalities -- and to resolve their emotionally-draining and costly disputes. With High Conflict Personalities on the rise, anyone can be a target. 
A book for: ADVOCATES (attorneys, mental health professionals, support persons, students in the helping professions, family and friends assisting those in high conflict disputes); 
DISPUTE RESOLVERS (mediators, managers, administrators, judges, evaluators, ombudspersons, family and friends who get stuck in the middle); and 
TARGETS OF BLAME (spouses, co-workers, neighbors, businesses, agencies, officials, professionals, family and (former) friends who become the focus of blame for a person with a High Conflict Personality).

High Conflict Personalities: Understanding and Resolving Their Costly Disputes

Bill Eddy

William A. Eddy

Professor Eddy takes us on a fascinating journey into the mind - as a research scientist, a philosopher, and a computer wizard for over four decades. He has a gift for taking complex ideas and turning them into friendly concepts. At the same time, he doesn't hesitate to challenge traditional scientific methods and our models for gathering knowledge. Come share his love of research and the search for the meaning in a world of GinaParals, the Annihilator, and the folly of Ockham's Razor. Catch the next wave - it may forever change how you think about thinking!

The central feature of this book is the Principle of Multiple Models, which derives from comparing brains with computers. The affective circuits of the brain are responsible for human preference for simplicity. There is no logical basis for the principle of parsimony (Ockham's razor). Better logic can be obtained by ignoring siimplicity and discarding Ockham's razor.
