The empathy trap : understanding antisocial personalities
McGregor, Jane2013
Book
Sociopathy affects an estimated 1- 4 percent of the population, but not all sociopaths are cold-blooded murderers. They're best described as people without a conscience, who prey on those with high levels of empathy, but themselves lack any concern for others' feelings and show no remorse for their actions. Drawing on real life cases, this book explores this taboo subject and looks at how people can protect themselves against these arch-manipulators.
