radiopodden ”Att tänka mot strömmen”
The first book about “crocodiles” by Jeanett Paludan.
If you are in a healthy relationship, you may not recognise yourself in this book. But you may recognise others. You might have a friend, acquaintance, or neighbour whom you suspect is not doing well in their relationship. Or your children may be falling in love, and you feel that something is not quite right. Then this book is for you too. It is also for those who have recently managed to leave a relationship that did not work, or for those who are still uncertain and do not know whether to stay or go.
How do you avoid falling deeply in love with someone who later turns out to be profoundly selfish and who exercises power and control over you and those closest to you? I believe that conversations and communication about relationships can create insight and, in turn, help. Young people, in particular, need to be more critical and reflective when choosing partners with whom they may have children. This book gives you tools for building a healthy and sustainable love relationship.

“A crocodile as a parent? All but Love” is the second book in Jeanett Paludan’s series about “crocodiles”. In the book, you will encounter sixteen powerful stories about what it is like to be the child or stepchild of a “crocodile”.
If you are the child or stepchild of a “crocodile”, one or both of your parents or stepparents have traits of psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism. These three personality traits are summarised as “the Dark Triad.” Growing up in a family where “Dark Triad traits” are present is often difficult and lonely. As a child, you may have grown up with material comfort and a polished surface, but behind the façade there was a lack of love and emotional security. This book will help you process and understand your experiences.
The book is also for those who have children with a “crocodile”. It aims to provide knowledge on how you can best support your child or children. Finally, it is for those who want to learn more about how “crocodiles” operate. In the book, you will meet children and stepchildren between the ages of ten and seventy-six. You will follow them on some of the most difficult journeys of their lives and gain insight into what it is like to be the child or stepchild of a “crocodile”.
