Bad Boys, Bad Men Confronting Antisocial Personality Disorder (Sociopathy) (Revised, Updated)

"With this superb new volume, Donald Black has managed to produce an authoritative book on antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy that promises to be a valuable resource for partners and families of those touched by this disorder.
