Segment 1: George Simon. On this edition of The Doug Noll Show , we are speaking with Dr. George Simon. Dr. George Simon is the leading expert on manipulators and other disturbed characters. He knows how they push your buttons and get the better of you and why despite all the thing you've tried, nothing seems to work. Dr. Simon is not only an author, but a public speaker, consultant, professional trainer, and composer who has appeared on numerous national, regional and local television and radio programs. His first book In Sheep's Clothing: Understanding and Dealing with Manipulative People© is an international bestseller, published in several foreign languages, and nearing 20 years in print. It consistently draws laudatory reviews from readers who want to understand the difficult people in their lives and deal with them more effectively. A recently revised edition of this landmark book was released by Parkhurst Brothers Publishers in 2010.
Dr. Simon believes firmly in the vital inter-relationship between freedom and personal responsiblity, and is deeply concerned about the character crisis plaguing western civilizations and eroding the greatness of America. His second book, Character Disturbance, also published by Parkhurst Brothers, has also become a bestseller and is available at your local book store.
Dr. George Simon starts the show off by sharing with us on his personal journey. He started his journey as a clinical practitioner dealing with 2 types of people in regards to character disturbances. The first kind are victims in relationships with people that had character disturbances and the second kind are those with the character disturbances. Dr. Simon defines character disturbance and distinguishes the victim and the inflictor or person who has the character disturbance.
Segment 2: Character Disturbances. In this segment, Dr. Simon talks more about people needing to work in becoming acculturated 365 day, 24 hours a day. This is the job of parents at the time of early childhood. The overall culture has gotten to the point that it pays a lot of attention to and awards disturbed character behavior. The other important part is a lot of young people do not have the guidance that they need for various reasons. They do not get the guidance they need to develop a sound and stable character. Character is no longer cool but we need to make it relevant and a topic of discussion. It is an overlooked trait that needs to be brought back.
Segment 3: Tolerate and Mediate. What do we do when we run into people with character disturbances? In this segment, Dr. Simon gives us some insight on how to tolerate and mediate the disturbed behaviors by not enabling but helping managing these personality traits so the communication is improved and more successful.
Segment 4: The Judah Syndrome. In this segment, Dr. Simon shares more about his third book called the Judah Syndrome.
