Since ancient times, Vampire legends have had a powerful hold on
the human imagination. This fascination continues today with the
popularity of Bram Stokers Dracula, New vampire books and movies,
and pop cultural phenomena. Daniel Rhodes and Kathleen Rhodes,
D.N.Sc. believe that very real vampires are stalking their prey
from the shadows - not the mythical bloodsuckers of folklore fame,
but emotional vampires who deliberately drain others
psychologically. Emotional Vampires are individuals we deal with in
daily life who leave us feeling abnormally angry, confused, upset,
or fatigued. These manipulative psychological leeches may be total
strangers or our best friends, co-workers, or family members. By
controlling situations and people for their own purposes, they prey
upon their victims with deliberate aim of stealing emotional energy
- just like mythical vampires. Many of these predators know exactly
how much frustration, anger and anxiety they inflict, while others
carry on virtually unaware of the damage they cause, and victims
are many times unaware that they are being bled. These Vampire
attacks may be one-time interactions, or they could go on for
years. They can range from just being emotionally troublesome to
threatening careers, mental health, and even the lives of their
victims. Often, emotional vampires use a clever set of techniques:
- Task - blocking: Have you ever worked on an important project
with a co-worker who prevents you from finishing the task and then
blames you? - Turnaround: Have you ever complained about a poor
product or service only to have a clerk rudely abuse you? -
Vectors: Have you ever felt fear from being tailgated or cut off by
another driver, or anger at a difficult neighbor who seems to enjoy
disturbing your pace with his barking dog or loud stereo? - The
vampire signature: After having a run-in with one of these
predators, has he or she shown you by a smirk or a smart remark
that you've been had. Illustrated fascinating personal stories from
victims, this insightful work identifies and classifies emotional
predators, exposes the methods they use, describes the collective
"vampirism" of groups, and offers ways to combat the effects of an
emotional attack.
