Product Description:
Drama queens come from all walks of life, regardless of age, gender, race, or socioeconomic status. As a drama queen, you perceive danger when there is none. You personalize things that aren't personal. You spend hours a day trying to control things you have no control over. You may fear you won't receive your fair share of things, often feeling mistreated or put upon by others.
Sounds grim, doesn't it? But despair no longer! Finally there is a solution. With this book, you will learn how to say good-bye to unnecessary response styles that cause you to feel unhappy, angry, resentful, disappointed, and stressed out by daily life. It also will help those who either know or are intimately involved with drama queens to cope with and understand the highly sensitive.
Certainly there are countless resources available that can assist those who are in need of stress management and anger reduction in order to lead happier lives. But these tools are either Band-Aids or fail entirely if you're a drama queen. This book takes a huge leap beyond the other resources by teaching prevention. With tests and personal stories from drama queens and those that love and care for them, this book will help drama queens take control of their happiness and live in the moment!

I initially intended to read this book as the "significant other" to a drama queen. And I found many useful tips and tools on how to make my relationship better with my spouse. What really surprised me, however, was that I saw myself reflected in the pages as well. What an eye-opener! Not only does she convey sensitivity and compassion, but Dr. Debra does a wonderful job of getting rid of useless stereotypes about drama queens and she provides hands-on tools and solutions to the problem. I only wish I could have been enlightened by the information in this book twenty years ago. I might have avoided a lot of unnecessary stress and "drama" and had more successful intimate relationships. But oh well! At least I have the information now! Thanks Dr. Debra for your sincere help! Five stars

Wow, where has this book been all my life. Dr. Mandel really provides excellent information about being a Drama Queen. As a wife, mother, & friend I gained useful knowledge that made me a better wife, role model, & helpful ways to not drain my friends & keep them in my life!!
I grew up with low self esteem stemming from a bad childhood which carried into my adulthood. I took every situation to the highest level & loss such energy. Dr. Mandel helped me to distinguish between being a vampire drama queen & a lovable drama queen.
This fantastic book helped me to be a more productive worker & to not be overly dramatic with small issues that occur at the workplace everyday. I can't believe I much time wasted throughout my day being a Drama Queen.
I have already noticed the change in my marriage & with my children...my home is happy & calm, something I have never had.
Thank you Dr. Mandel, you saved my sanity!!!!

Mandel, Dr. Debra. "Don't Call Me a Drama Queen!: A Guide for the Overly Sensitive and their Significant Others Who Need to Learn How to Lighten Up and Go With the Flow", Alyson, 2008.
Get Over It
Amos Lassen
All of us know drama queens and they are everywhere. Many times they do not realize that they are drama queens but let me say that race, gender, sexual orientation or socio-economic standing have nothing to do with being a drama queen. Drama queens have the unique ability to sense danger when there is none to sense and they take to heart things that do not concern them. They endeavor to control that which is beyond control and they seem to have a sense of fear about everything. They are the kinds of people that no one wants around but somehow they are always there.
Debra Mandel has several ideas on how to avoid being a drama queen. If you follow what she says, you can unload unhappiness from your life and anger, resentment, stress and disappointment will slowly evaporate from your life. Her ideas will also help you understand those drama queens that you know. Prevention is the way to get around the drama of life. Get a copy and live drama free.
