People with high conflict personalities (HCPs) clog our courts as plaintiffs with inappropriate claims against their personal "targets of blame," and as defendants who have harmed others and need to be stopped. Everybody knows someone with a High Conflict Personality. "How can he be so unreasonable?" "Why does she keep fighting? Can't she see how destructive she is?" "Can you believe they're going to court over ______?"
Some HCPs are more difficult than others, but they tend to share a similar preoccupation with blame that drives them into one dispute after another—and keeps everyone perplexed about how to deal with them.
Using case examples and an analysis of the general litigation and negotiation behaviors of HCPs, this book helps make sense of the fears that drive people to file lawsuits and complaints. It provides insight for containing their behavior while managing and/or resolving their disputes. Characteristics of the five "high-conflict" personality disorders are explored

High Conflict People in Legal Disputes Bill Eddy Books Reviews
- Good solid work linking the psychological and the legal process of daily life.Its about time the aspect of High conflict people are highlighted and
dealt with seriously.Today's society is besieged with ongoing complex problems relating to toxic and dysfunctional people.A warning must be raised when dealing with neurotic and mentally disturbed individuals.Failure to do so will always result in long drawn out litigation and in some cases human tragedy.A waste of precious time and resources.Everyday's news is filled with heartbreaking stories of violence and conflict.Trying to figure out the unpredictability of human nature is the most complex equation in the universe besides besides quantum physics.The unknown variables in human nature and their surprising and shocking outcomes will keep us all busy researching and trying to maintain equilibrium in a spiritually and morally bankrupt world society. - I love everything that Bill Eddy has written on high conflict people. With his background as both a counselor and an attorney, he has valuable insight for anyone dealing with a high conflict person. This book is written for both the legal professional and the lay person and he spans that gap well. He gives lists of the various kinds of personality disorders so you can tell one from the other, and lists the particular problems each personality disorder causes for others both in a personal relationship and in the courts. If you are in any kind of legal process against a high conflict person, read this book. If you are going through a divorce with one, also read his book "Splitting".
- Few things are worse in life than when a loving relationship comes to an end in ways that you cannot understand, negotiate, or peacefully resolve, simply because you don't know what is happening or what your next move should be to save the situation. This is frequently the case with people who fall in love with, employ, or are otherwise related to the estimated 12,800,000 Americans with diagnosed personality disorders (PD).
This book does not answer those questions for you, but it does give clear, concise explanations on what may be happening from the point of view of the other party, why they may be acting as they are, and what steps you might be able to take to at, the very least, protect yourself, and to avoid being drawn into costly legal drama with high conflict people whose goal is to 'punish you', as the book explains, for having abanandoned, ignored, or otherwise fallen out of graces of a PD.
Since almost everyone will have significant contact with a high conflict person (a person with a diagnosed personality disorder) at sometime in their life, this book should be required reading in all colleges across the country. - The book has helped me in my practice of working with families with kids during divorce. I have found out first hand that insight-oriented therapy doesn't work with a high conflict person. I like Billy Eddy's approach to helping families be able to work together.
- This book provided great advice , insight and effective strategies for me in a most challenging time of my life.
