When I Say No, I Feel Guilty: How to Cope--Using the Skills of Systematic Assertive Therapy by Manuel J. Smith

2.0

The first 125 pages lay out the basics. This section contains background information, one overarching idea, and 3 useful techniques. If you read the first 125 pages, you're good. The rest of the book is just filled with examples. The examples are often very dated. Language and culture has changed a lot since 1975, but the 3 techniques to reduce manipulation and to be more assertive can still be useful today.
