It's hard to recognize an invalidator, because a truly good one can bypass the scrutiny of your logical mind, and his victim will find himself feeling bad without knowing why. Read the first page

This book is easy to read and easy to digest. It clearly describes particular characteristics and the way those who possess them may treat others. It has helped to me understand why past relationships have gone wrong, how present relationships can be better managed and most importantly has shown me how to prevent myself from becoming like those who have treated me badly in the past.

I decided to read this book after being in a relationship with a borderliner. I recognized all the manipulative strategies and techniques right away. Of course most people won't be in a extreme situation like that but there are allot of people in the world that try to get their way in devious strategies. Sooner or later you'll come across people who manipulate or maybe you do it yourself without realizing it. This book gives good insights on how to stop invalidating others or how to stop others from constantly invalidating you. Easy to understand and very practical.

I found this book to fit quite well with what I have learned about invalidation and invalidators, and could readily identify with the techniques that invalidators use. I found that it was a book to take lightly however, in that only a small proportion of the counter-tactics, or ways of managing your own feelings, were actually useful - being of the general self help, common sense or easily found on the internet variety. I also found the writer's tone unhelpful in places, as he writes as someone who is clearly a victim of such behaviour, but still rather angry about it (though may be unwilling to admit as such). As a result, in places he could be accused of the very thing the book is about, sometimes writing in a style that is at best impatient - at worst insulting - whilst simultaneously telling the reader that they would somehow be ridiculous to be negatively affected by what he has said. You can move past it and just extract the helpful bits, but for me it detracted from the feel of supportiveness that is otherwise present by his appearing hypocritical. Fans of the 'tough love' approach to therapy or self-help may find this refreshing however.
