Janis Publications Launches HIGH CONFLICT PEOPLE IN LEGAL DISPUTES, by Bill Eddy, Attorney, Mediator, and Social Worker

10 January 2006

CALGARY, Jan. 9 - Janis Publications Inc. announces it has launched its first book: HIGH CONFLICT PEOPLE IN LEGAL DISPUTES.

Written by Bill Eddy of San Diego, this book uses over two dozen compelling case examples to explain the dynamics and strange logic of four types of Personality Disorders that commonly appear in legal disputes: Borderline, Narcissistic, Antisocial and Histrionic.

Author, Bill Eddy, LCSW, ESQ. is Senior Family Mediator at the National Conflict Resolution Center in San Diego. He is a Certified Family Law Specialist in California with twelve years' experience representing clients in family court, and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with twelve years' experience providing therapy to children, adults, couples and families in psychiatric hospitals and outpatient clinics. Bill Eddy is also an international speaker and consultant on the subject of high conflict personalities.

HIGH CONFLICT PEOPLE IN LEGAL DISPUTES deals with identifying, understanding and managing the one out of seven people (over 40 million people in the USA) that are truly high conflict personalities - meaning each of us likely know several high conflict people or we are high conflict people ourselves. It is commonly stated by judges, attorneys and mediators that ten to twenty percent of clients consume eighty to ninety percent of their time and court resources.

"While this book is designed for legal professionals - attorneys, therapists, mediators, judges, ombudspersons and other dispute resolvers - it will also be useful for business people, those in negotiations and individuals stuck in a dispute with a high conflict personality, or who care for someone of that description," author Bill Eddy said.

"I am certain that each person can benefit immediately from the information, stories and techniques described in HIGH CONFLICT PEOPLE IN LEGAL DISPUTES. We hope this book sheds light onto this important subject, helping all those that are in these difficult disputes, as well as offer understanding and help to those frequently involved in conflict," said Janis Magnuson, Janis Publications Inc. president.

Janis Publications Inc. is a Calgary based publisher focusing on topics promoting conflict prevention, conflict management and dispute resolution.
