Covert-aggression personality disorder.

This is an absolutely brilliant book. If you are being victimized by a covert-aggressive person, then this book will help you articulate that person's game. If you can articulate what is going on, you are far more likely to gain support from others who, otherwise, are unlikely to understand the complex and utterly subtle dynamics involved in the machinations of the cover-aggressive person. I firmly believe that covert-aggression is as pronounced a personality disorder as any you will get on the DSM-IV scale. The author of this book clearly outlines the characteristics of these types of people. Having read the book, I am now convinced that covert-aggressive personality disorder is as prevalent and at least as malevolent as passive-aggressive personality disorder, or borderline disorder, to name two well-known ones.I first encountered people with this disorder in church leadership circles, where one would least expect to find them. I found it interesting that one of the case-studies in the book was a pastor. The book is a real eye-opener and should be part of the standard curriculum on all mental health course curricula. I also believe that covert-aggression personality disorder should become part of the DSM-IV scale.
