From the author of Whole Again comes a significantly expanded edition of Psychopath Free—containing new chapters, updated content, and real survivor experiences—that will help you recover from emotionally abusive relationships with narcissists, sociopaths, and other toxic people.
Have you ever been in a relationship with a psychopath? Chances are, even if you did, you would never know it. Psychopaths are cunning charmers and master manipulators, to the point where you start to accept the most extreme behaviors as normal...Even if it hurts you.
 
All around us, every single day, human beings devoid of empathy are wreaking havoc and destroying lives in the coldest, most heartless ways imaginable. In constant pursuit of money, sex, influence, or simple entertainment, psychopaths will do whatever it takes to gain power over others. They hide behind a veil of normalcy, arranging their friends and partners like pawns in a game of chess.
 
Using false praise and flattery to get what they want, they can lure any unsuspecting target into a relationship.  Once hooked, their charming promises spin into mind games and psychological torture. Victims are left devastated and confused, unable to recognize—or even put into words—the nightmare that just took place.
 
Written from the heart, Psychopath Free is the first guide for survivors written by a survivor, offering hope for healing and thriving after psychopathic abuse. Say goodbye to the chaos, self-doubt, and victimization. You are free.

      This collection of essays originally posted on the self-help website psychopathfree.com, cofounded by MacKenzie, delivers engaging advice for readers who have self-identified as victims of emotional abuse. The focus is specifically on recovery from romantic relationships with psychopaths, a term used, perhaps a little too generally, to refer to people who may possess borderline, antisocial, and/or narcissistic personality disorders. MacKenzie, using first person and addressing the reader directly, creates a cozy support-group tone and initially defines psychopathy symptoms (how to recognize toxic people in general), then traces the arc of the relationship with an emotional abuser and outlines the stages of recovery from the damaging union, with emphasis on understanding grief and encouraging introspection. Although the author's tone is highly personal, no personal details are conveyed or case histories presented. VERDICT Martha Stout's Sociopath Next Door and Paul Babiak and Robert D. Hare's Snakes in Suits are more informational; in addition, there are a variety of more clinically insightful titles. This one is strictly for self-helpers.--Kellie Benson, Oakton Community Coll.
