Robert D. Hare Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

All of us at some point have--or will--come into contact with psychopathic individuals. The danger they present may not be readily apparent because of their ability to charm, deceive, and manipulate. Although not necessarily criminal, their self-serving nature frequently is destructive to the organizations that employ them. So how can we protect ourselves and our organizations in a business climate that offers the perfect conditions for psychopaths to thrive? In Snakes in Suits, Hare, an expert on the scientific study of psychopathy, and Babiak, an industrial and organizational psychologist and a leading authority on the corporate psychopath, examine the role of psychopaths in modern corporations and provide the tools employers can use to avoid and deal with them. Together, they have developed the B-Scan 360, a research tool designed specifically for business professionals

Uno dei maggiori esperti a livello internazionale analizza le caratteristiche psicologiche e comportamentali della personalità psicopatica. L'autore fornisce un quadro lucido e puntuale del mondo interno dell'individuo psicopatico e delle sue strategie interpersonali, e chiarisce l'importante distinzione tra disturbo antisociale di personalità e disturbo psicopatico, dimostrando come la psicopatia costituisca una vera e propria sindrome. Lo strumento da lui ideato al fine di valutarne i sintomi, la Psychopathy Checklist-Revised, viene utilizzato in tutto il mondo nella pratica clinica e forense, oltre che in ambito di ricerca. L'edizione italiana è arricchita da un recente articolo scientifico di Hare e colleghi su 'La psicopatia come disturbo del cervello morale'.

Provides a revealing study of psychopaths in the business world that examines the impact of destructive psychopathic behavior on a work environment, documenting a psychopath's patterns of skilled manipulation, deception, and abuse

Dr. Robert Hare has devoted more than three decades of his professional career to the investigation of the psychopath and how psychopathic behavior influences and corrupts society. Hare is the creator of the Psychopathy Checklist (PCL-R), a twenty item personality checklist. There is no doubt that everyone has come in contact and possibly been deceived by a psychotic personality. In fact, most disturbingly, it's the nature of a psychopath to initially come across as very appealing and likable. How do you defend yourself against such a person in the workplace? In "Snakes in Suits", industrial and corporate psychologist Dr. Paul Babiak teams up with Dr. Hare to focus on the psychopath's role in modern corporations. Together they created the B-scan, a personality test for job candidates so that employers can identify potential psychopaths. As today's business world has perfect conditions for the psychopath, "Snakes in Suits" informs the reader how to spot him before he destroys. It reveals the psychopath's secrets, introduces the ways in which they manipulate and deceive, and helps readers see through their games. The rapid pace of today's corporate environment provides the perfect breeding ground for these employees, and "Snakes in Suits" will give readers the necessary tools to protect themselves and their companies before it's too late

Filmy, televízne relácie a novinové články čím ďalej, tým častejšie zobrazujú chladnokrvných vrahov bez svedomia, ktorí väčšinu ľudí fascinujú a odpudzujú zároveň. Medzi najpôsobivejšie príklady psychopatov patria sérioví vrahovia ako Ted Bundy a John Wayne Gacy. Jedinci s touto poruchou osobnosti si plne uvedomujú následky svojich činov a dokážu rozlíšiť rozdiel medzi dobrom a zlom, ale sú mimoriadne sebeckí, nepoznajú súcit a zľutovanie a nezáleží im na citoch ostatných ľudí. Najdesivejšie je zrejme to, že svojim nič netušiacim obetiam sa zdajú úplne normálni. Autor zobrazuje týchto nebezpečných mužov a ženy veľmi pôsobivo. Na základe dvadsaťpäťročného výskumu živo opisuje svet podvodníkov, klamárov, sexuálnych násilníkov a iných spoločenských predátorov, ktorí si razia cestu životom vďaka svoju šarmu, lžiam a manipuláciám. Sú psychopati šialení alebo len zlí? Ako ich rozpoznáme? A ako sa pred nimi môžeme ochrániť? Tí, ktorí sa o tejto poruche chcú dozvedieť viac, nájdu v tejto knihe množstvo dôveryhodných informácií a prekvapivých faktov.
