  • a timely and controversial new book: psychopaths continue to be demonised by the media and estimates suggest that a disturbing percentage of the population has psychopathic tendencies;
  • 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.
