Personality Disorders and Mental Illnesses: The Truth About Psychopaths, Sociopaths, and Narcissists

It is concise and readable. It clearly explains the behaviors of sociopaths,etc. The author is not heavy-handed in his descriptions and advice. There is a lot of information on how to pick up the signs and signals of these psychological predators.

Very good explanation of human behaviour!!!

I like the book it’s well written, has very clear definitions

It was as expected, a good read and an easy introduction into understanding mental illness.

Basically, just go online and you will get more detailed and accurate descriptions about the different personality disorders discussed in this book. I was amazed how simplistic this author approaches the different behavior of people with certain mental disorders. For exemple, he did compare a psychopath to a sociopath; but he seems to have them backward. Indeed, to him a psychopath is kind of a hot headed person who just cannot resist to his impulsivity vs a sociopath who would be very clever and calculating. If you checked the internet sites of "web md" and "psychology today", their descriptions of these mental disorders by doctors are the opposite of what it is in this book. The psychopath would be the clever one compared to a sociopath, not he other way around as in this book. Anyhow, this book which only has 147 small pages only appears to me as a mean for an author to make a quick buck; so I would not recommend it. Anybody can write a book like this just by checking a few internet sites. Indeed, I cannot help noticing a flagrant lack of investigative work in it...!!!
