Von der hinteren Coverseite

One of America's leading pastoral counselors draws on the most recent psychological insights to describe in everyday language common personality disorders that make human interaction so difficult. Dr. Oates focuses on eight 'ways of life' that are observed in parents, teacher, employers, employees, pastors, and members of the congregation: in short, throughout all walks of life. He examines the reasons why individuals develop as they do and illustrates how personality disorders can result in destructive religious behavior.
