I would have really liked to know that this particular book does NOT come with page numbers if you buy the kindle/ online version (even though the recent updates apparently do provide page numbers, they do not for all books including this one). Try typing "Kindle location numbers" in APA formatting for writing assignments! Not going to work. This is my first experience with Kindle for text books, pretty disappointed.

Review

“The psychopath always fascinates, and this new book rises to the challenge of its subject. The book exhaustively covers everything known about psychopathy to date. It also brings an exciting new theory, exploring the neuro-biological underpinnings of psychopaths’ broken emotions. The Psychopath will be an engrossing read for any clinician, scientist or student who wants to understand that mysterious individual, the criminal psychopath.” Terrie Moffitt, Institute of Psychiatry, London

“A gem of a contribution to the field of psychopathy, this wonderful resource provides a highly coherent and integrative review of developments in cognitive and affective neuroscience and their implications for understanding the nature of psychopathy. The authors are passionate about their research and this book presents their personal assessment of the field in a remarkably powerful, readable, and detailed manner. The book is an extraordinary accomplishment and a boon for the field.” Joseph Newman, Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin

“This timely book represents an exciting new synthesis which has taken into account emerging data on the biology of psychopathy, including its neurocognitive basis. The authors lucidly describe discoveries about emotional processing in psychopaths and new thinking about its psychiatric nosology. They have performed a notable service in providing this highly readable survey, which summarises objectively the strengths and weaknesses of various theoretical accounts, including their own, and the implications for forensic, adult and child psychiatry.” Trevor Robbins, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Cambridge

“A comprehensive summary of recent research on the cognitive, emotional, and neurological correlates to psychopathy. One of the few resources to consider the manifestations of psychopathy throughout the lifespan.” Professor Paul J. Frick, Director, Applied Developmental Psychology Program, University of New Orleans

"the book as a whole contains a wealth of information and insight that make it an excellent avenue into the current state of knowledge and thinking about psychopathy. The authors' scholarship is unquestionable, and they bring together an exceptional amount of information within a manageable number of pages...The book will provoke considerable thought from students, practitioners, and researchers who will have to integrate their thinking on this vital topic." David Nussbaum, PsycCRITIQUES

Book Description

Psychopathy is a disorder embedded in mystique, controversy and fantasy. Consistently portrayed in the media and popular culture as unusual, inhumane and emotionless creatures, individuals with psychopathy are the bogeymen of today's society, and the label psychopathy is used widely to describe a broad range of notorieties from political figures to serial killers. This timely new book separates fact from fiction. It presents the scientific facts of psychopathy and antisocial behavior, addressing critical issues such as the definition of psychopathy, the number of psychopathic individuals in society, whether they can be treated, and whether psychopathy is down to nature or nurture. More controversially, the authors present their ground-breaking research into whether an underlying abnormality in brain development, reducing emotional learning, is at the heart of the disorder. The resulting theory could lead to early diagnosis and revolutionize the way society, the media, and the state both view and contend with the psychopaths in our midst.

Psychopaths continue to be demonised by the media and estimates suggest that a disturbing percentage of the population has psychopathic tendencies. This timely and controversial new book summarises what we already know about psychopathy and antisocial behavior and puts forward a new case for its cause - with far-reaching implications.

• Presents the scientific facts of psychopathy and antisocial behavior.
• Addresses key questions, such as: What is psychopathy? Are there psychopaths amongst us? What is wrong with psychopaths? Is psychopathy due to nature or nurture? And can we treat psychopaths?
• Reveals the authors' ground-breaking research into whether an underlying abnormality in brain development leaves psychopaths with an inability to feel emotion or fear.
• The resulting theory could lead to early diagnosis and revolutionize the way society, the media and the state both views and contends with the psychopaths in our midst.

If that statement does not mean anything to you, then you should not attempt to read this book. It is an excellent work and if you are into the the conjectures of the neural causes of psychopathology I would highly recommend it. But if you are just interested in learning about psychopaths at a more elementary level, you will be better served by reading one of Bob Hare's works first. It would also serve you well to read some of Restak's books on the organization of the limbic system before you launch off into this if you do not know anything of the subject matter. If however, you are aware of the physiology of the brain and the manifestations of sociopathic or psychopathic behaviour, I think this book is an excellent read.

By shr nfr

This book does not examine the behavioral methodologies of a psychopath. Don't expect to read this and be on the edge of your seat as you hear about a psychopathic rampages or case studies into previous criminal activities.

It is an extremely well researched book documenting the relationship between psychopathy and emotion. With an intimate use of research to prove theoretical points, James Blair does an excellent job trying to find the underlying cognitive and biological causes of anti-social behavior and the lack of empathy most psychopaths employ.

If you don't have a good grasp on psychology or the research methodologies (and lingo) I wouldn't recommend this book.

However, if you plan on doing research in the field of criminal psychology or are writing a paper on psychopathology, this is a must have.
