Thank you again for all the incredibly insightful info." Duped "I have no words but thank you so very much!"

Eric "I just want you to know what a valuable service you've provided by creating this site. I stumbled upon it the other day while doing some research on psychopathy in an attempt to understand how the individual I was involved with could do all the things he did. It was such a relief to realize, after reading several of your posts, that this monster who had me believing he was one in a million is actually just one OF a million... psychopaths. He's no more than a common, predictable set of symptoms and patterns. He fits the mold perfectly. I understand better than ever now that none of this was my fault; that he targeted me; and that the mental anguish he put me through was something I could not have resisted if I tried... because I could never be someone who thinks the way he does. Your information helped me realize that fully and take that last step of discarding any last little attempt to "reconcile" the unthinkable." L.B. "Thank you for a brilliant and concise definition of a psychopath. This information is the best I have seen on this topic...I now know I am not crazy. Thank you.

Download or read book Divorce in Psychosocial Perspective written by Joseph Guttmann and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1993-03-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books deal with divorce and its aftermath -- some deal with the impact of divorce on children and families, others with the legal or sociological aspects of divorce, and a few focus on divorced mothers and fathers. Most of these books are characterized by their practical orientation toward the issues and problems posed by divorce. None of these, however, have attempted to offer an integrated view of the massive amount of theoretical and research literature on divorced adults and their children. In addition, none present a comprehensive view of divorce as a psychological process within its larger social context. Filling that void, this book: * offers a comprehensive view of divorce as a social, interpersonal and psychological phenomenon, * reviews the theory and research on divorce focusing on the major protagonists of the divorce drama: the mother, the father and the children, and * introduces a social-psychological theory of divorce process.

Download or read book Divorce Brutality written by George Withers and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-04 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divorce is a psychological stress test that captures predictable variations in personality. Personality, not intelligence, shapes relationships. Relational health is difficult to understand when professionals and partners skip over core dynamics of personality. This book defines personality agendas that reside beneath our surface diversity. Many adults are fascinated with medical death. Maturing adults want to know why their relationships are dying. Interpersonal mystery may have some initial appeal, yet it confounds relationships and prolongs painful losses. Dr. Withers is a psychologist who reduces the knowledge gap between what clients and practitioners know regarding personality and how it shapes lives. Personality influences perception, reasoning and thus relational health. Each year millions unknowingly grapple with maladaptive personality. Adults have been abusing institutions such as marriage and Congress throughout history. Individuals who have tried to salvage a close relationship will have their instincts validated. Most adults want relationships, but many resist having their interpersonal motives scrutinized by others. Relationships do not mysteriously die. Interpersonal decline promotes both adaptive and maladaptive anxiety. Separating fact from fiction has tormented great thinkers throughout history. Our founding fathers worried about the longevity of their fledgling union and the generational emergence of evil. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. challenged us to improve the validity of our social judgments. Maturing adults frequently find themselves interacting with others who fictionalize interpersonal reality. This elitism drives needless aggression and social decay.

In addition to statistical analysis, the book includes very interesting case studies to demonstrate the dynamic events occurring as individuals refashion their lives after the breakup of their marriages. Researchers on divorce and the interested public will find this book very valuable for years to come." —Colleen L. Johnson, Ph.D.Professor Medical Anthropology, University of California, San Francisco We are witnessing a steady increase in the overall number of older adults who are divorced, yet the majority of divorce research has concerned itself with persons in the younger adult years.

Written by an interdisciplinary team of social and behavioral scientists, Divorce: Crisis, Challenge or Relief? provides the invaluable results gained from their life span study of divorced adults. Divorce is the product of hundreds of interviews containing a host of very specific questions conducted with divorced adults between the ages of 20 and 79, both just after their divorce and again several years later.
