Donna Andersen’s newest book: ‘Senior Sociopaths’
Do you know someone who is over age 50 and is still making your life miserable? Someone who never grows up and never calms down? Maybe you’re involved with a senior sociopath.
The myth that sociopaths burn out as they age has been busted. Donna surveyed 2,377 Lovefraud readers and 91% reported that the conventional wisdom of “aging out” shared by many psychologists is just not true. Senior sociopaths — perhaps numbering 14 million in America — remain as bad or worse after age 50. All the details are in Donna’s new book, Senior Sociopaths: How to Recognize and Escape Lifelong Abusers.

Lovefraud research on senior sociopaths published in scientific journal
The conventional wisdom in the psychology field is that symptoms of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD)/psychopathy decrease as affected individuals reach middle age. New research by Lovefraud Education and Recovey challenges this view. Survey respondents described romantic partners, family members, work colleagues and friends who they believed showed traits of ASPD/psychopathy and were over age 50. Of those who knew the individuals both before and after 50, 93% reported that their manipulation, deceit and antisocial behavior were just as bad — or worse — as they aged.
Surviving Senior Psychopathy: Informant Reports of Deceit and Antisocial Behavior in Multiple Types of Relationships, by Donna Andersen, of Lovefraud Continuing Education, and Emma Veltman and Martin Sellbom, of the University of Otago, reports that antisocial behavior does not necessarily “burn out” with age. The paper was published by the International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology.
