When friendship hurts : how to deal with friends who betray, abandon, or wound you / Jan Yager.
"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 "-- from publisher.

Taking its place alongside relationship classics The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dr. Jan Yagerâs When Friendship Hurts, in print since being published twenty-two years ago, is now available in a second edition containing new original research.
Friendship expert, coach, and sociologist Dr. Jan Yagerâs prescriptive book on toxic friendships, what to do about them, and how to find or improve the positive friendships we all deserve, also has an updated Preface, bibliography, and resources section.
The Preface shares Dr. Yagerâs more recent research that asks the question, âHave you ever had a friendship that made you physically or emotionally sick?â She was surprised to find that such strong reactions were more common than she originally thought. Forty-three percent of the ninety men and women she surveyed answered âYesâ to that question. In the new Preface, she shares their most common reactions.
Another new feature of Dr. Yagerâs classic book includes cartoons at the beginning of each chapter by artist Cathy Wilcox and originally done for the Australia/New Zealand edition.
When Friendship Hurts has helped countless men and women to better understand why they get involved in a toxic friendship, and then explore possible ways to mend it, let it fade, or end it.
