The Integrated Psychopath

The definitive guide to detecting and protecting yourself from psychopaths in family, work, and politics

It's estimated that around 1% of the population exhibits high levels of psychopathy. This prevalence is notably higher in positions of power or leadership, such as managers, executives, directors of corporations, organizations, or political parties, making psychopathy one of the most pressing challenges for humanity.

Not all of these individuals are murderers, but they always cause suffering. Drawing on over twenty years of research, Vicente Garrido dismantles common myths and offers a clear, accessible analysis of the "integrated psychopath"—those who don't commit violent crimes but instead blend in, manipulate, and cause significant harm within personal lives and societal
institutions. This person could be a coworker, a boss, a childhood friend, a family member, or a politician you see on TV.

The expert criminologist equips readers with the tools to identify and protect themselves from such individuals. He presents the most significant aspects of psychopathic personality, its varieties, and different manifestations, and explores the three fundamental areas where these individuals operate and cause great harm: family, businesses and organizations, and politics.
