The term sociopath is often used to describe a psychopath; even in medical circles these two terms are regularly interchanged. Although they are both types of antisocial personality disorders and share many characteristics, there are also some key differences.
Whether you have thought about it before or not, it is highly likely that someone you know has sociopathic tendencies and can be defined as a sociopath. It is exceptionally difficult to get a doctor to confirm a diagnosis of sociopathy as this can lead to stereotyping and even prejudice; on top of this it is highly unlikely that a true sociopath will see anything wrong with themselves and seek medical help. Even if they become aware of this element of their personality they will simply find it of interest and move on.Â
The book will help you to understand what a sociopath is and how the term originated. It will also provide you with the following information which is key to protecting yourself from the negative influences a sociopath can have on your life, this includes manipulating you and emotionally breaking you down:
Learn what characteristics indicate that someone is a sociopath.
Understand the symptoms and how they manifest themselves.Â
Learn how to spot a sociopath and the best way to deal with them.Â
