Welcome to Litsy!

This is from the 90s, so the language is dated, particularly the repeated use of the word psychopath. But the exploration of the reality of those with antisocial personality disorder is fascinating. While this is not explored, it actually got me thinking about the potential evolutionary benefit of APD.

This is probably the standard introductory tome for the layperson to begin to understand psychopathology. They live among us, a solid percentage of the world population exists without a functioning ability to feel empathy. Not just hustlers and criminals, but politicians, CEOs and other successful people who pretend to be ‘normal‘. Good advice for how to avoid psychopaths and disentangle them from your life.

If you‘re into #truecrime this is an interesting perspective on understanding personality disorders and criminals to include descriptions of interviews with criminals.

Some picks for #lmpbc (I really didn‘t think I‘d have this many 😅). Let me know what you think! And thank you for welcoming me into your group!

If you guys love CSI and crime shows, you'll love this book. I'm learning so many new things about psychopaths that the media would never be able to capture. Great reading choice by my grad school professor!

A detailed and chilling examination of psychopathy and its consequences.
