"Few of us have positive role models for dealing effectively with problematic personal or professional revelations - whether it's telling an employee he isn't doing a good job, telling your fiance you want to postpone the wedding, or telling your best friend that you envy and resent her lavish lifestyle." "Charles Foster, Ph.D., is a therapist with more than twenty years' experience helping people bring difficult issues out in the open in their professional and personal lives. This wise and reassuring book reveals when to tell your difficult news and how to tell it with compassion, empathy, understanding, and tact." "There's Something I Have to Tell You is the result of years of pioneering research based on in-depth interviews and case studies from Dr. Foster's clinical experiences. Dr. Foster has devised an authoritative and accessible course of action for identifying - and thus avoiding - the pitfalls of saying what needs to be said."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
