People Who Play God

This book is not only a definite ‘must-read', it is also a ‘must-share'. For yourself and those you love, learn to recognize and protect yourself from the People Who Play God. These manipulators and ultra-authorities strive to take control over the lives of their victims; many of them succeed. People Who Play God will show you exactly how these manipulators operate. It exposes exactly what they do and why it works.

People Who Play God explores real people's experiences with extreme manipulation in four different sections: In Part One, the masks and foundations of ultra-authority are brought to light. Ultra-authority has existed for thousands of years. Most recently, people have heard about ultra-authority in the form of extremist groups, cults, battering relationships & domestic violence, and totalitarian governments.

Part Two introduces and explains Ms Peterson's Integrated Model of Ultra-Authority. Ultra-authority is like influence on steriods; both are the results of a vastly complex network of interlinking factors. The Integrated Model describes the these factors through the three T's of ultra-authority: Toeholds, Techniques and Time.

In Part Three the book takes the reader on an inside journey through four real-world examples of ultra-authority. These case studies give a compelling and frightening view of the scope ultra-authority can reach. The examples are: The one-on-one battering relation-ship of Mickey and Francine Hughes; The mystic and murderous Manson cult known as The Family; The religious-political cult of Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple; and The totalitarian regime of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich.

In Part Four, Ms Peterson presents the personality styles of those people who have become ultra-authorities and the stages a person moves through as they themselves become an ultra-authority. Part Four also includes chapters on recovery for those who have been involved in a relationship with an ultra-authority, and on prevention issues to help protect those who have not been directly touched as of yet.
