If you’ve been deceived and abused by a sociopath, you’ve probably asked yourself, “Why is he (or she) doing this?”
I answer that question, and many more, in my new book, Understanding the Sociopath — Why antisocials, narcissists and psychopaths break the rules of life. The book goes on sale on October 1, 2019.
This book is a curated collection of my Lovefraud blog articles that explains, in bite-sized pieces, how sociopaths behave, what motivates their behavior, and why they do what they do.
Approximately 12% of the population — 30 million adults in the U.S. —are sociopaths — people who could be diagnosed with antisocial, narcissistic, borderline, histrionic or psychopathic personality disorders. Sociopaths can seem perfectly normal at first, but their motivations are totally abnormal.
Articles in the book include:
- 10 translations of ‘I love you’ when spoken by a sociopath
- Sociopaths and double lives
- The truth about sex with sociopaths
- Why psychopaths don’t change
- Letters to Lovefraud: I am a sociopath
- 10 things sociopaths want (besides money)
- Will the sociopath treat the next wife better?
- The sociopathic MO in three easy steps
- Why do psychopaths want to mess with your head?
- Do sociopaths know what they are?
