Industry Reviews

'The concept of psychopathy presents challenges for definition, measurement and full understanding. However, in this highly accessible and well-researched book, the authors have mastered this topic in an engaging and enjoyable way. Drawing direct connections between explanation and intervention provides a truly integrated discussion of this complex but fascinating group of individuals.'
