Book Description
Revised and updated with the latest scientific research and updated case studies, the business classic that offers a revealing look at psychopaths in the workplace—how to spot their destructive behavior and stop them from creating chaos in the modern corporate organization.

Hare return with a revised and updated edition of their essential guide. All of us at some point have—or will—come into contact with psychopathic individuals.

In Snakes in Suits, Hare, an expert on the scientific study of psychopathy, and Babiak, an industrial and organizational psychologist and a leading authority on the corporate psychopath, examine the role of psychopaths in modern corporations and provide the tools employers can use to avoid and deal with them.

Dr. Babiak and Dr. Hare reveal the secret lives of psychopaths, explain the ways in which they manipulate and deceive, and help you to see through their games.

Book Description
Do you know someone who is just a bit too manipulative and full of himself? Does someone you know charm the masses yet lack the ability to deeply connect with those around her? You might have an Almost Psychopath in your life. Grandiosity and exaggerated self-worth. Pathological lying. Manipulation. Lack of remorse. Shallowness. Exploitation for financial gain. These are the qualities of Almost Psychopaths. They are not the deranged criminals or serial killers that might be coined "psychopaths" in the movies or on TV. They are spouses, coworkers, bosses, neighbors, and people in the news who exhibit many of the same behaviors as a full-blown psychopath, but with less intensity and consistency. In Almost a Psychopath, Ronald Schouten, MD, JD, and James Silver, JD, draw on scientific research and their own experiences to help you identify if you are an Almost Psychopath and, if so, guide you to interventions and resources to change your behavior. If you think you have encountered an Almost Psychopath, they offer practical tools to help you: recognize the behavior, attitudes, and characteristics of the Almost Psychopath; make sense of interactions you've had with Almost Psychopaths; devise strategies for dealing with them in the present; make informed decisions about your next steps; and learn ways to help an Almost Psychopath get better control of their behavior. The Almost Effect Series presents books written by Harvard Medical School faculty and other experts that offer guidance on common behavioral and physical problems falling in the spectrum between normal health and a full-blown medical condition. These are the first publications to help general readers recognize and address these problems.

Book Description
“Compelling, essential reading for understanding the underpinnings of psychopathy.” — M. E. Thomas, author of Confessions of a Sociopath For his first fifty-eight years, James Fallon was by all appearances a normal guy. A successful neuroscientist and professor, he’d been raised in a loving family, married his high school sweetheart, and had three kids and lots of friends. Then he learned a shocking truth that would not only disrupt his personal and professional life, but would lead him to question the very nature of his own identity. While researching serial killers, he uncovered a pattern in their brain scans that helped explain their cold and violent behavior. Astonishingly, his own scan matched that pattern. And a few months later he learned that he was descended from a long line of murderers. Fallon set out to reconcile the truth about his own brain with everything he knew as a scientist about the mind, behavior, and personality.

Book Description
Similar to the bestselling Sociopath Next Door comes a unique look at the psychopaths among us and how our society--from businesses and governments to religions--encourages and rewards psychopathic behavior, and what average citizens can do to survive and thrive when we must live with, learn from, or be led by sociopaths. Psychiatrists estimate that 1 percent of the adult population are psychopaths. That's about two million Americans. And they are our bosses, our politicians, our priests, and our neighbors. And they are running our economy and our lives. Every day in the news we hear about people in positions of power doing deplorable things--in business, politics, and government, from sexual harassment to polluting the environment to covering up crimes. And it's no wonder considering a small percentage of people wield a large amount of power, and that these very same people fit the definition of a "psychopath." A highly engaging and gripping read, Cameron Reilly's book adds to our growing understanding of sociopaths with a detailed analysis of how our society encourages and rewards psychopathic tendencies, and how, because of this, psychopaths the world over have risen to power. Using historical references to pop culture examples, Reilly offers a field guide to psychopaths--how to spot them and how to outmaneuver them so you can keep your sanity intact. This is the first-of-its-kind book to examine the shocking evidence and then suggest practical solutions for saving us all.

Book Description
Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by a lack of empathy, manipulativeness, the inability to feel remorse and regret, manipulativeness, and a glib, superficial charm. It is estimated that psychopaths make up anywhere from one to four percent of the general population. Despite their infrequency, they are especially dangerous because their superficial charm and artful demeanor belies their nefarious intentions. Though not yet a term, psychopathy captured nineteenth-century American authors' imaginations who understood the disorder by its earlier conception: 'moral insanity,' 'dangerous individual,' and 'monster.' At the same time, these authors sustained from the Revolutionary to the Civil War Era a discussion on sympathy's role in shaping and democratizing the nation. From the Founders to the reform movements of the nineteenth century, sympathy played a pivotal role: authors of sentimental fiction grounded their works in sympathy to argue for women's equal status with men in both domestic and political spheres; abolitionists and authors of slave narratives used it to demonstrate the horrors of slavery and argue for African Americans' democratic inclusion; orators and authors to promote women's suffrage, labor reform, and temperance. It may be difficult to measure sympathy's productive value in each of these, but on its own, sympathy was incapable of securing these movements' ideals. This dissertation seeks to reconcile sympathy's limits and vices as nineteenth-century authors imagined a nation in constant social, cultural, and political development. Why could women not be given the right to an agential voice, choose their marriage partner, or vote? Why did the majority population of a nation that boasted of its superlative freedom and democracy support slavery or, at least, feel indifferent to millions of brutalized, enslaved African Americans? How does a nation codify its laws to ensure that innocent, good people suffer while those who exploit them profit? Scholars often answer these questions by determining political power, social advantage, and economics as the limits for democratic exclusion. My dissertation articulates a theory of structural psychopathy as an alternative answer to these questions. As psychopaths are antithetical to sympathy, they can be understood as antidemocratic, nationally corrosive figures. Rather than a routine, individual diagnosis of characters, I strive to articulate how an entire nation might be psychopathic. Thus, structural psychopathy describes a nation whose social, cultural, and political architecture is consistent with the characteristic traits of psychopathy. Nineteenth-century American authors seized on what they understood to be sympathy's adversary and portrayed this conflict in the affective and psychological conditions of a population whose framework determined their lack of-and ability to manipulate-sympathy while pursuing a self-interest that jeopardized the nation's constitution.
