Without Consicence: The Disturbing World Of The Psychopaths Among Us :: Without Consicence

Without Consicence The Disturbing World Of The Psychopaths Among Us Robert D Hare is respected by his colleagues worldwide as an expert on psychopathy. He gained much of his insights as a Psychologist employed with CSC (Correctional Service of Canada) starting in the early 60s. At the chip in time he is a Professor of Psychology at the University of British Columbia. He and his students have interviewed hundreds of psychopathic offenders. This book is rich with transcripts of those interviews, giving gripping insights into what makes them tick. This IS not a shallow pop psychology, self help book. Its no gory thriller with lurid prose either. Its a GENUINE self help book. It will verify suspicions you may have acquired from life experiences, that some few people who cross your path truly have no real feelings or conscience and are disconsolate users, employing endless ways to manipulate others. They are driven to always be in control. I know the kind. Ive positively identified ab out fivesome or ten of them in my 41 years and seen many others who lean that way. Just as this book states and/or implies -- even if they live their whole lives never actually committing any horrible crime, you never trust them. You somehow know what they COULD do. Your gut instincts warn you they are opportunistic, social predators whose outward normalcy is only a slick facade. You detest and/or mourn the gullibility and trusting attitude of too many who are consistently used by them. Most of them during their entire lives never BREAK the law, but they are second to none at knowing how to BEND and TWIST it to suit their purposes. You find out eventually by observing them long enough or by being victimized yourself, how crafty they are at maneuvering others to fit into their plans. You come to the horrible conclusion that if they were allowed lax rein, they would prove that they only feel truly alive if they can tell everyone who touches their lives what to do, when to do it, wha t to think and when to think it? I believe theyre profoundly fearful cowards, literally too scared to ever discover love or respect. Their social relations only have one goal and one choice if they cant visit it -- In some way, shape or form, I MUST dominate you, if I cant, we have NOTHING to do with each other.
