Nasty People

The publication in 1989 (Contemporary Books) of Nasty People has led to Dr. Jay Carter's 13-year mission to help people who are abused, intimidated, put down, and who have lost their self-esteem due to the mocking/manipulative treatment they've received from Nasty People. The author speaks to groups of 50 to 150 people 4 to 5 times a week both across the country and internationally, has a Psy.D., and writes articles for several magazines, including Mothering, Readers' Digest and Weight Watchers.
