Review:I found the book very well written for the most part. However, and perhaps unsurprisingly, I found the content quite boring and devoid of, well, feeling. I can't help but think that a book written by the victim of a sociopath is always going to be far more interesting than a book by an actual sociopath because the latter is never going to be very good at engaging the reader at an emotional level, especially when the writer's goal is to convey her very nature as a sociopath.

Review:I am not a scientist; I know very little about science, not much about anything. Since the Nazis stopped me from attending school when I was thirteen years old, I have been trying to educate myself since the libration from a concentration camp. The Baron-Cohen's thesis in THE SCIENCE OF EVIL is that evil is caused by the absence of empathy. The lack of empathy is caused by abnormalities in the empathy circuitry in the brain.

I was captive in camps for three years and 123 members of my ext... Read more

Review:Amazing book! A very informative, interesting, and entertaining (humorous, too) read. In addition to the well-written content, one of the things I loved most was how much the author's passion for the topic showed throughout the entire book. From a technology standpoint, the use of fMRI for forensic neuroscience research was fascinating. This is a great read for anyone interested in criminal psychology, neuroscience, and health technology. Read more

Review:WOW! Awesome book, and keeps you interested from cover to cover... a must read! ok here's my last sentence to get the required amount of words in... (requirement amounts of words have actually kept me from writing more reviews) Read more

Review:I picked up this book because I am quite interested in psychiatry and the development of psychosis.

Unfortunately, for me, ""The Psychopath Test" did not pass my readability test. The pace is meandering, and the cases sited are not as interesting as others in books about Borderline Personality Disorder or Narcissism.

Maybe it's only because it's summer, and I should be looking for beach reads, but Jon Ronson's book just did not hit the spot for me at this time. Read more

Review:Starts off well, but rambles a bit too much away from the intended points. Also gets repetitious at the end, to the point where I wondered if one chapter had been proof-read. An easy, quick read, but I would wait and get it at the local library, rather than purchase (Sorry Amazon) Read more

Review:As a woman who has experienced this "inevitable harm" I can recommend this book to others in my situation as well as other family members and friends who have also been trampled by the heavy, carefully placed boots of the narcissist. First book I've read that profiles the woman who finds herself in a relationship with a man with NPD. i found it answered so many previously unanswered questions about myself......
THANK YOU. Read more

Review:A fun read but NO CONCLUSION. No explanation of how to deal or who the subjects have bounced back. I thought this would be a n interesting read about how modern communications have devastating effects on lives and how that can be worked out of but no. its just a depressing collection of inclosed case studies.

Review:How wonderful to have the perspective of the therapist in session. This classic gives us the forces that direct clinical choices in the moment. I gained a better understanding of the process of experiential Family Therapy. Thank you Napier and Whitaker. Read more

Review:This book came recommended to me by a friend. I bought it, began reading it and with in a few days it ended up in my recycling bin. I have no need to control my wife and thus our relationship sails quit well. Of course our view points differ from time to time but we always talk and work together for the greater good. As we are all individuals with our own way of thinking I can imaging that the Authors research and opinions work for many men out there. So I give him credit to helping men fin... Read more
