Do
you want to help someone who is clearly distressed,
but you don't know what to do?
Is someone else's troublesome behavior impacting
you in negative ways?
Are you confused by some of the things other
people say and do, that just don't make any
sense to you?
In Survival Games Personalities
Play, Dr. Eve Delunas
presents a way of understanding personality
type differences that explains how and why
a person may behave negatively, and what to
do about it. Each personality, or temperament
type, is capable of engaging in "survival
games" given the right circumstances.
These games are forms of psychological self-defense
that we use to unconsciously protect ourselves
when we are under extreme stress. Different
personalities play different games, and for
different reasons!
Learn to recognize the four games:
- The
Artisan Game of Blackmail
- The
Guardian Game of Complain
- The
Rational Game of Robot
- The
Idealist Game of Masquerade
Using
case examples from her twenty years of practice
as a Marriage and Family Therapist, Dr.
Delunas describes:
- What
each temperament type needs most to prevent
survival-game-playing.
- How
to best avoid triggering each temperament's
defensive behavior.
- How
to communicate effectively with each temperament.
- How
and when to employ specific interventions
to stop each of the four survival games.
Learn from an international expert
on temperament theory.
Dr. Eve Delunas worked
for over ten years with Dr. David Keirsey,
co-author of Please Understand Me.
She has used temperament theory in her
work as a therapist, educator, and organizational
trainer for several decades. Dr. Delunas
has trained thousands of mental health
professionals internationally in the use
of this model.
