Interaktionsspiele bei Psychopathie

This book describes how to recognize and manage manipulative behavior in individuals with psychopathy. Psychopathic personality disorder is defined by a combination of interactional, affective, antisocial, and lifestyle features that include egocentricity, manipulative behavior, lack of compassion, guilt and remorse, pathological lying, irresponsibility, and continuous violation of social norms and expectations. Professionals have particular difficulty dealing with the interpersonal features of this disorder. This book provides concrete support for this. It is written for psychotherapists, coaches, diagnosticians, psychiatrists, forensic psychologists, and anyone who deals professionally with psychopaths. The authors are Prof. Dr. Rainer Sachse, a psychological psychotherapist, founder of clarification-oriented psychotherapy, and director of the Institute for Psychological Psychotherapy in Bochum, and Fritjof von Franqué, a sexual forensic psychotherapist and senior psychologist at the Institute for Sexual Research and Forensic Psychiatry at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf.
