Kantor also explains to us other facets of the Paranoid Personality, including suspiciousness, hypersensitivity, extreme vigilance, simmering anger, and a tendency to blame others for and absolve oneself of almost everything. How does such paranoia affect one's life? Whether one is a paranoiac wanting to recover from the emotional disorder, or a person looking for the best way to deal with a paranoid husband, wife, friend, boss, or acquaintance, this book offers understanding and guidance. As Kantor explains, the term paranoid should not be used as a hurtful epithet. Paranoid individuals are no more or less evil than persons with any other emotional disorder, or for that matter, persons with a physical disorder. Paranoia is a disorder of the mind, not a flaw of character, says Kantor. Paranoid individuals are not invariably social misfits. They are found in all walks of life and in all professions, suffering from this disorder that distorts behavior and affects those with whom they come in contact, often in devastating ways. Politicians who write attack ads, spouses who beat or kill their partners, people in road or supermarket rage incidents are all among the possibly paranoid, as are students who perpetrate violence at their schools and fired employees who wreak violence at their former workplaces. Recognizing and treating paranoid behaviors can prevent or reduce antisocial activity and violence against individuals and society. Review: Very Thorough - This is written by an experienced professional and employs a lot of language that only those in the field would understand, but is also spot-on when identifying the characteristics of those with paranoid delusional disorder. A highly intelligent family member of ours has suffered from this mental illness for years, although to my knowledge she has never been formerly diagnosed even with decades of therapy, and has only grown worse with time. The author affirmed many of the things our family has witnessed and endured through decades of manipulation and emotional abuse by this loved one. Alas, as the doctor states, the road to treatment and recovery for this affliction is long, particularly because the patient's belief in her delusions is so strong that anyone who tries to point out why her accusations and suspicions are wrong, is immediately attacked and rejected, even her own psychiatrists. Still, it was a comfort to hear a voice educated on the subject affirm the reality of what we have experienced first-hand. Review: so interesting! - This book told me so much to help me understand a loved one, that in my entire life I could not make sense of! It described him to a t, and made me realize he can't help how he thinks. It also told me how you can get along with a paranoid individual in your life, when you have to. (NOT easy!) I recommend it to anyone who suspects their loved one is paranoid. It will make your life simpler. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,281,069 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #579 in Medical Mental Illness #1,524 in Popular Psychology Personality Study #1,991 in Medical Psychology Pathologies | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 60 Reviews | ## Images ![Understanding Paranoia: A Guide for Professionals, Families, and Sufferers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HdpGf4B9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Thorough *by S***N on February 10, 2020* This is written by an experienced professional and employs a lot of language that only those in the field would understand, but is also spot-on when identifying the characteristics of those with paranoid delusional disorder.
