Why do psychopaths exert such fascination? Do Eros and morality have some kind of connection with psychopathy? Are those feelings part of something in us that allows the most violent kind in our society to kill easily, or is there a recognition that we, too, have a touch of the psychopath lurking in us at all times? Yet in the popular mind, psychopathy only describes a disorder of the aggressive, antisocial criminal. The author reviews the field, gives an explanation of the main symptoms, suggests an approach to treatment, and then presents a new vision: psychopathy is not so much a deficiency of morality as it is crippled Eros.

Astonishing!,
By Diana M. Rodriguez (Alexandria, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Emptied Soul: On the Nature of the Psychopath (Classics in Archetypal Psychology) (Paperback)
This book is astonishing! It is a simple masterpiece. The author has given an amazing account of different types of psychopaths in the short, but oh so sweet, book.Guggenbuhl-Craig should write more books. His style is amazing- it is easy to comprehend and extremely intelligent. I applaud this book and its author. This is one of the best books on the subject I have ever read. Should get 10 Stars!!!

This review is from: The Emptied Soul: On the Nature of the Psychopath (Classics in Archetypal Psychology) (Paperback)
THis book was one of the best written on the subject I have read. I was interesting and easy to read. It is a great book to help you understand the nature that has for the most part only received an evil stamp. Worth having in your collection.
