When I saw the title I knew it applied to my life and my relationship with my elderly mother. As I turned each page I had the vague sense that someone had been eavedropping during the time she was living in our household. “Toxic” described her interaction with everyone who cared about her. This book preserved my mental health! It contains clear descriptions of the toxic personality and gives guidelines for dealing with people who have this world view. If you are struggling with a difficult sibling, spouse, or parent, read this book. Protect yourself from this condition.

This book is wonderful!!!!!!! It was as if Davenport knew my mother when she wrote this book. I am very happy that I got to read this book. It has made me very aware of my own toxicity. I now know there is some hope for me to change. Oh my God I am very luck to have been able to read this book …

The author seems to have taken whatever she found attractive from many psychological theories and cobbled them together. Judgments are pronounced and sweeping generalizations issued without factual support. For example, persons who decide to leave an abusive relationship are determined to live their lives in guilt, and are condescendingly referred to as having done what they needed to do to survive. Apparently staying in the abusive relationship, armed with positive affirmations and deep breathing, is the nobler course. It is unfortunate that this topic has been neglected by the social services community. It would be very helpful to see a peer reviewed work, but this is not it.
