Whether called black sheep, sociopaths, felons, con men, or
misfits, some break all the rules. They shirk responsibilities,
abuse drugs and alcohol, take up criminal careers, and lash out at
family members. In the worst cases they commit rape, murder, and
other violent acts as though they lack a conscience. What makes
these people behave the way they do? Bad Boys, Bad Men examines
antisocial personality disorders, or ASPD, the mysterious and
misunderstood mental condition that underlies a lifelong penchant
for bad behavior. Black interweaves scientific data with stories
drawn from his own work as a psychiatrist, current events, new
research, and real-world case studies to explore antisocial
behavior in men and to chart the history, nature, and treatment of
a misunderstood disorder affecting nearly seven million Americans.
Citing new evidence from genetics and neuroscience, Black argues
that this condition is tied to biological causes, and that some
people are simply born bad. The newly revised edition includes up
to date information on the epidemiology, risk factors,
pathophysiology, natural history, genetics, and treatment of ASPD.
Black discusses the antisocial woman as well as narcissistic
personality disorder, both of which often intertwine with ASPD. New
vignettes demonstrating sociopathic and psychopathic behavior
include Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, Robert
Durst, and Anna Sorkin. Examining compelling cases that read like
medical detective stories, Black separates the lies these men tell
from the facts that their lives reveal. His book not only describes
the warning signs that predict which troubled children are more
likely to become dangerous adults, but also details the progress
toward treatment for ASPD. Written to help patients and family
members, Bad Boys, Bad Men is essential reading for anyone
interested in understanding antisocial and psychopathic behavior.
