The Best on a subject I have examined as a lawyer for the past few years. Understand this emerging, engrossing subject. Understand that you come across psychopaths in positions of authority. Pull back the mask of sanity. People ask 'how can a human being do these senseless things?, now you can answer them. No one is immune to these predators, no one. Understand how our own cognitive dissonance prevents us from challenging the psychopath until it is too late. If they take an interest in something they take it, destroy enjoyment and pleasures just to feed their sick need to prove 'superiority', to laugh at faulty attempts to come to grips with Gaslighting behavior, unending manipulation of family, firm, your career, employment, advancement, reviews. The prevailing educated view is to run as far as you can from an encounter with a psychopath. This thoughtful treatment gives hope that the law can meet this threat that thrives in today's America. Start with Robert Hare's Psychopath Check List to assure yourself you understand the basics. Look at articles by Frank Perri, JD, on the chink in the armor of these hunters, they brag openly about their conquests until someone slips up and says 'doesn't that make you sick? Because they feel elation, they have no comprehension of pain, cruelty or destruction. They know they are cherished because every day the world provides fresh prey. Every lawyer needs this in their library and need to refer to it. The US is behind the curve, but the experts are available now and this single volume can provide the frame of reference on this subject for effective advocacy.
