Christopher Berry-Dee, criminologist and bestselling author of
books about the serial killers Aileen Wuornos and Joanne Dennehy,
turns his uncompromising gaze upon women who not only kill, but
kill repeatedly. Because female murderers, and especially serial
murderers, are so rare compared with their male counterparts, this
new study will surprise as well as shock, particularly in the cases
of women like Beverley Allitt, who kill children, and Janie Lou
Gibbs, who killed her three sons and a grandson, as well as her
husband. Here too are women who kill under the influence of their
male partners, such as Myra Hindley and Rosemary West, and whose
lack of remorse for their actions is nothing short of chilling. But
the author also turns his forensic gaze on female killers who were
themselves victims, like Aileen Wuornos, whose killing spree, for
which she was executed, can be traced directly to her treatment at
the hands of men. Christopher Berry-Dee has no equal as the author
of hard-hitting studies of the killers who often walk among us
undetected for many years, and who in so many cases seem to be
acting entirely against their natures.
Charming, charismatic, and delightful or manipulative, self-serving,
and cunning? Psychopaths are both and that's exactly what makes them
dangerous. Bestselling author of the international phenomenon
Surrounded by Idiots, Thomas Erikson reveals how to identify the
psychopaths in your life and combat their efforts to control and
manipulate.
Using the same simple four-color system of behavior classification that
made Surrounded by Idiots so popular, Surrounded by Psychopaths teaches
readers how to deal with psychopaths in their lives by becoming aware
of their own behavior and their weaknesses. Vivid example stories
illustrate ways that psychopaths can take advantage of various behavior
types, helping readers identify their own weaknesses and be proactive
about protecting themselves. Erikson outlines some of the most common
forms of manipulation used by psychopaths--and others--to influence
those around them. Since manipulation can often be a feature of
ordinary, non-psychopathic relationships, the book also includes
practical methods and techniques to help readers confront controlling
people and rehabilitate negative relationships into mutually respectful
ones.
By understanding your behavior as well as the tendencies and strategies
of psychopaths, Surrounded by Psychopaths will teach you to protect
yourself from manipulative influence in your workplace, social life,
and family.
