Outsmarting the Sociopath Next Door: How to Protect Yourself Against a Ruthless Manipulator

by Martha Stout Author

We all have sociopaths we need to avoid; however, sometimes circumstances don't allow for that. Using the many emails and letters she has received over the years, Dr. Martha Stout uncovers the psychology behind a sociopath's methods and provides concrete guidelines to help navigate these dangerous interactions with ex-spouses, bosses, or anyone who has a position of power over year. Her book is organized around categories, including destructive narcissism, violent family, evil coworkers, and sociopaths in business and government. This book provides both the explanations, commentary, and advice necessary to survive and react to enduring psychological warfare of the sociopaths around us.
