内容摘要 Most people are both repelled and intrigued by the images of cold-blooded, conscienceless murderers that increasingly populate our movies, television programs, and newspaper headlines. With their flagrant criminal violation of society's rules, serial killers like Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy are among the most dramatic examples of the psychopath. Individuals with this personality disorder are fully aware of the consequences of their actions and know the difference between right and wrong, yet they are terrifyingly self-centered, remorseless, and unable to care about the feelings of others. Perhaps most frightening, they often seem completely normal to unsuspecting targets--and they do not always ply their trade by killing. Presenting a compelling portrait of these dangerous men and women based on 25 years of distinguished scientific research, Dr. Robert D. Hare vividly describes a world of con artists, hustlers, rapists, and other predators who charm, lie, and manipulate their way through life. Are psychopaths mad, or simply bad? How can they be recognized? And how can we protect ourselves? This book provides solid information and surprising insights for anyone seeking to understand this devastating condition. 大多数人对越来越多地出现在我们的电影、电视节目和报纸头条中的冷血、无良心的杀人犯的形象既感到厌恶又感兴趣。特德·邦迪和约翰·韦恩·盖西等连环杀手公然违反社会规则,是精神病患者中最引人注目的例子之一。患有这种人格障碍的人充分意识到自己行为的后果,知道是非,但他们却以自我为中心,冷酷无情,无法关心他人的感受。也许最可怕的是,对于毫无戒心的目标来说,他们常常显得完全正常——而且他们并不总是以杀戮为生。罗伯特·D·黑尔 (Robert D. Hare) 博士基于 25 年杰出的科学研究,对这些危险的男人和女人进行了令人信服的描绘,生动地描述了一个充满骗子、骗子、强奸犯和其他掠夺者的世界,他们通过诱惑、谎言和操纵来度过难关。生活。精神病患者是疯了,还是只是坏?他们怎样才能被认出呢?我们该如何保护自己?这本书为任何想要了解这种毁灭性状况的人提供了可靠的信息和令人惊讶的见解。
