Dealing with Manipulative People - TakeAway Training Film Series

Synopsis

"The TakeAway Training Film Series" comprises short, practical training films providing managers, supervisors and staff with techniques, advice and ideas on some of the key areas of their job. The series which features 'talking head discussion' between psychologists Eve Ash and Peter Quarry, is designed for learning resource centres and management self-development. When the first titles in the series appeared, "People Management Journal" said: '...one of the main selling points is that they firmly place responsibility for learning with the learner...They could be used either as stand-alone distance learning tools or as part of a training session. I am sure that any viewer will be able to take up their basic principles and apply them'. Working with manipulative people can be difficult, as they have the ability to influence or even exploit you. Psychologist, Peter Quarry, explains reactions to manipulation. He suggests the need to talk to others and offers practical strategies for managing manipulation: ignore the manipulation; say 'No'; confront the issue; and, counter manipulate.
