"Women Who Love Psychopaths: Inside the Relationships of Inevitable Harm With Psychopaths, Sociopaths, & Narcissists"
by Sandra L.Brown, M.A.


I just finished this book.

It is a must-read, for anyone who has been in a love relationship with a Psychopath.

Includes information on "Super-traits". Both temperament and character traits that draw in the Psychopath, and help keep you there, after the abuse starts...

I found the studies/differences in brain activity; thought processes, language, and emotional depth between a non pd, and a psychopath, very informative.

Thanks for posting about this book. I've read about 'The Sociopath Next Door' and Hare's book, I think I will try this one.

musiclover,

Hi.

This book is scary-good.

It covers stuff I've not yet read about, and shows through studies that there is a difference in brain activity of a psychopath.

It also makes good points about the term "co-dependency"...

Also, as in Robert Hare's book, it makes the point that not all psychopath's are criminals, or serial killers- The successful one's stay out of jail, "below the radar", and are a major menace to anyone taken in by them...

"The Relationship of Inevitable Harm"

Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, don't it?   

I recommend this book highly.

I just got chills when I read how she views our PD's...."The Relationship of Inevitable Harm"   
that pretty much sums it up in a nutshell & puts a bow on it, doesn't it?

My momster just recently bought this book, and gave to me to read....she is an unNPD....

She always thought my unBPD ex SO was a psychopath, but she knows nothing about PDs, and very little about him. He is a Casanova Borderline to a T.

Still, I may read the book....

Oneness,

My momster just recently bought this book, and gave to me to read....she is an unNPD....

She always thought my unBPD ex SO was a psychopath, but she knows nothing about PDs, and very little about him. He is a Casanova Borderline to a T.

I understand.

When I found out about my ex's cheating, and the added and completely crushing evidence of it written by himself, online, I felt a very familiar sensation.

I didn't know why...

But when I went to my mother, (whom I now believe to be possessing a few NPD qualities of her own) I needed her love and support.

I felt so low I could hardly breathe, I went to her looking for compassion, thinking surely she would have this, for her own daughter.

My mother chuckled, and grinned, and her comforting words were
"He has a screw loose".   

 

Anyhoo, this book is worth a read, no matter from whence it came...

Thank you for the recommendation. I am almost finished with this book and have learned a plethora of information that I do not think I could have gotten out of therapy. It has been incredibly validating.

moonshine77,

As I'm not in therapy, so I can't comment, there...

But this book both validates and teaches.
