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: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: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......

Review:Oh, my god, my house is like a non-stop self-help convention. The rotating cast of literary works cluttering my sofa is nauseating. I'm like "Baby, you're perfect, you can't improve on this model." She's all "You need to allow yourself to change! You're stifling yourself and by extension me! You're just like your father." Pshaw, whatever that means, back to XBox. Read more

Review:Excellent guidance on how to overcome the sometimes invisible psychological barriers that prevent people from starting a project and/or pursuing a goal. Mental traps like the "Fortress Fallacy" and perfectionism are insidious not only in their ability to prevent people from pursuing a goal, but also in their ability to erode confidence over time until so much avoidance turns to a life of regret. The author shows readers how these barriers convincingly give us reasons to avoid projects/goals we w... Read more

Review:Of all the books on trauma and developmental trauma that I have read, this is clearly the best.

When I finished reading, I had a much deeper awareness of the challenge of healing developmental trauma and many insights about the most effective healing approaches to help others in recovering the lost possibilities for their lives.

Thanks to Laurence Heller, PhD and Aline LaPierre, PsyD for their years of research and treatment, and for the outstanding case studies contained in the bo... Read more

Review:The authors used two decades of research on attachment theory to explain, in clear and simple terms, how to identify an appropriate match and how to constructively work through conflict. A compelling book. Read more

Review:Those who read the Getting Past Your Past ("GPYP") blog regularly and have read the Getting Past Your Breakup: How to Turn a Devastating Loss into the Best Thing That Ever Happened to You book know that I believe in the skillful fusing of various techniques and schools of psychological thought. GPYP is based on techniques and theories of classic and modern psychological theory as well as some tried-and-true... Read more
