Emotional Vampires. Psychological Protection from Bloodsucking People, if Garlic and Amulets No Longer Help

An emotional vampire can deprive a person of strength, mood, meaning, and will. Communicating with them is exhausting and draining. But it is not always possible to avoid such communication. What to do if you find traits of an emotional vampire in a close person, colleague, boss, or even in yourself? How to learn to negotiate without breaking each other, but achieving adequate interaction? 

The book by psychotherapist Albert Bernstein helps to understand the psychology of different types of emotional vampires, provides useful and effective advice on communicating with each type, and contains illustrative life stories through which the author highlights all the weak and strong points of vampires and their victims. By following the recommendations, readers have a chance to transform interactions with a vampire into a qualitatively different level and emerge from the twilight into the safe and healthy sunlight of life.
