From Publishers Weekly

This work of pop psychology merits attention because Hare has pioneered in the field of psychopathy, which is still in a formative state. Psychopaths, he asserts, are neither sociopaths nor psychotics but rather are people who are well aware of the difference between right and wrong and ignore the distinction. Additionally, they are egocentric and have no feelings of empathy, guilt or remorse. They view others as potential victims, and they leave a trail of unhappiness behind them in those who have succumbed to their deceitful manipulations. Whether nature or nurture underlies their aberration is still uncertain; they are almost impossible to treat, according to Hare, because they are convinced that they have no psychological or emotional problems. Although, as he notes, much of the literature on psychopathy is scientific, Hare here presents material in a form accessible to lay readers.

From Library Journal

The word psychopath conjures up visions of the horrific deeds of Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer for most people. But not all murderers are psychopaths and not all psychopaths are murderers. Psychopathy is a complex personality disorder whose most prevalent characteristic is lack of remorse and whose cause and cure are still unknown. Unlike Hare's previous writings, geared to professional clinicians and researchers, this title attempts to clarify psychopathy for the general public. Hare is a recognized expert in the field of psychopathy, and whereas the content here is good and the explanations accessible to lay readers, the presentation is choppy and repetitious. Owing to interest in the more famous psychopaths, this book will probably be popular in public libraries. Although it is by no means scholarly, academic libraries may consider it because of the author's expertise. Another book to consider is Herve Cleckley's classic, The Mask of Insanity (Cleckley, 1988).

5.0étoiles sur 5 Educate yourself and read this book!, Nov. 6 2007
Par Aeneas - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Highly recommended to read. Hare deals with the serious subject of psychopathy in a thorough way and covers all the essentials. Throughout the text the subject matter is illustrated by many examples from real life, which makes it easier to understand.

The disturbing fact is that about 1 out of 25 people is a psychopath and most of them do not end up in jail or mental institutions. On the contrary they climb the corporate ladder, become politicians or just simply con or defraud ordinary people without getting caught.

Best protection is to understand about psychopathy and how psychopaths operates in our midst.

Read it along with these other complimentary books on the subject: "In sheeps clothing", "The sociopath next door", "Political Ponerology" and "The Mask of Sanity".

5.0étoiles sur 5 Important Read, Nov. 13 2007
Par Lynne Grey (United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
It is becoming more and more important to be able to identify the psychopath. Why? Because these predators are the ones ultimately running our governments, religions and corporations. Dr. Hare's book is not only easy to read, but has very important information on how psychopaths think and act, two ways to identify them. His findings have been used by many other psychologists in identifying psychopaths; Dr Stout and Dr. Cleckley to name just two of them.

He shows how easily one can be conned by these people. Which is why we need to read all the information that we can. And this book is loaded with information that you can use.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Too clinical; nothing new; sensationalist, Déc 3 2001
Par "tobeanna" (Sydney, Australia) - Voir tous mes commentaires
The layout is confusing. It jumps all over the place. And not as well researched as it should be NB. the Lawrencia Bembenek example does not belong here.

It skims alot of sections. It tends to perpetuate the myth that psychopaths are all serial killers. Not enough in-depth cases. Doesn't take advantage of the new research on brain abnormalities - nothing new here.

Not a comprehensive overview of a psychopath. Eg. it doesn't mention one word about the connection between substance abuse and psychopathy.

A poorly organized and edited book. Comes nowhere near Hervey Cleckley's "The Mask of Sanity". This is a masterpiece on this subject even though it was written originally in the fifties when there was less medical knowledge of the subject. This book really gives you the flavour of what a psychopath is.

Neither books however deals much with the victims of psychopaths.

This book comes across as being a hybrid of a breathless tabloid piece and a poorly-written thesis. A mishmash. As a supposedly premier researcher on the subject, I expected a much better book instead of this - it reads like a transcribed dictaphone recording dashed off in one sitting by the author.

Still worth investigating as there aren't too many current books on the subject; and thankfully it doesn't contain any Freudian pyscho-analytic mumbo-jumbo.
