The Jekyll and Hyde Syndrome: What to Do If Someone in Your Life Has a Dual Personality - or If You Do

This is the first self-help book to address this abusive syndrome and to help readers manage the Jekyll-Hydes in their lives.

Beverly Engel brings her expertise in emotionally abusive relationships to this important examination of the Jekyll and Hyde Syndrome. While ever person has a dark side, those with this syndrome experience radical changes in their moods or violent outbursts for no apparent reason they become enraged, abusive, violent, depressed, or sullen at the drop of a hat.

Engel discusses the origins of this disorder, names its seven major manifestations, and explains how to identify Jekyll and Hyde behaviour in other people and in oneself. She tells the dramatic stories of Jekyll and Hydes she has worked with in her therapy practice and then outlines clear action steps for how to heal Jekyll and Hyde tendencies for good.
