It should come as no surprise, then, that practitioners require a unique set of strategies to gain an understanding of the mind that guides the behavior of a psychopathic person.  \u003ci\u003ePsychopathy and Law: A Practitioner's Guide\u003c\/i\u003e provides those working in the fields of law, the military, social and health services, politics, and business with a comprehensive introduction to myriad facets of psychopathy and the mysterious ways of thinking that guide the psychopathic mind. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cp\u003eVarious case studies examine in detail the specific skills of psychopathic persons in influence-making, impression management, and manipulative behavior. Practitioners will gain a deeper understanding of the types of countermeasures, tactics, and strategies to employ that can minimize the harms and danger that psychopathic people can cause to others. Special attention is given to issues relating to psychopathic behavior with the criminal justice system and civil proceedings. Authoritative and illuminating, \u003ci\u003ePsychopathy and Law: A Practitioner's Guide\u003c\/i\u003e is an indispensable resource for anyone working with psychopaths in the judicial system.  \u003c\/p\u003e  The eminent editors of this volume are to be congratulated for having put together such an excellent collection of relevant and highly readable chapters on the interface between psychopathy and the law. The chapter topics were well-chosen, and the contributors are among the leaders in the field. The editors themselves have addressed several topics not previously covered, including civil litigation in family law, and organized crime and war crimes. This is a very important compendium, not only of the latest thinking on psychopathy, but of useful guidelines for using this information in accordance with professional, ethical, and legal standards for clinical and forensic practice. I highly recommend this book to everyone concerned with the implications of psychopathy for the criminal justice system. \u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRobert Hare\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, University of British Columbia\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989886812389,"sku":"NP9780470972380","price":153.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470972380.jpg?v=1761785797","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/psychopathy-and-law-isbn-9780470972380","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
