Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

' Manipulation is part of life, intention makes the difference. 'In this brilliant essay, Marie-France Hirigoyen analyses situations in which one individual "profits" from another's vulnerability or credulity. A con artist who exploits a woman's weakness in order to gain access to her money; an elderly woman who declares her young protégé heir to her fortune; an abandoned wife who persuades her children that their father doesn't love them; a rich and powerful man who forces sexual relations on a subordinate; and, generally speaking, the emotional blackmail that we all deal with at one time or another in our lives.All these situations demonstrate that abuse of the vulnerable exists in every domain of human relationships. What constitutes normal, healthy influence on children, the elderly, or adults in a state of psychological weakness, and where does manipulation begin?Backed by her clinical experience, Marie-France Hirigoyen explores the notion of consent, and behavior deviances commonly called "inappropriate", a word whose vagueness suggests the difficulties our society faces in defining limits.
