With an integrated approach that is useful in both applied and academic settings....This book is recommended mainly for academic and law libraries as well as individual professionals in a variety of fields."
-American Reference Books Annual
"A scholarly, exhaustive examination of psychopathy....It is difficult not to admire the enormous effort expended unraveling the mysteries of the psychopath and his ways in Handbook of Psychopath....This work provides instructive views of the Western world's leading experts. Today the Handbook stands as an authoritative reference....Extraordinary breath....There are valuable insights for all who research, study, evaluate, and manage these men and women so reviled by society"
-Criminal Justice and Behavior
"Does an extremely good job of helping us understand the many faces and facets of psychopathy....It highlights the issues and focuses on the evidence without prejudice. The book reads well. This is due to its intelligent structure....The various contributors, very refreshingly, make a point of linking their thinking on psychopathy with the various personality theories that exist."
-APA PsycCRITIQUES
"The book sets the direction for psychopathy research and informs both researchers and clinicians how to best utilize existing knowledge....Brings several of the foremost researchers in the field together and presents state-of-the-art research....Successfully transcends differences in the field and is replete with up-to-date information. The handbook is comprehensive, well written, and informative."

"A thorough and comprehensive compilation of the findings of research on psychopathy that have emerged after the recent 20- to 25-year burst of work on the topic....The forensic mental health practitioner now has a compendium of the current state of the science of psychopathy."
-Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law
"I was thrilled to adopt this text for my graduate course on the psychology of criminal behavior. I loved the book and have been really pleased with the classroom outcomes and student evaluations of the book. Very few texts are able to provide such broad and timely coverage of a topic as polarizing as psychopathy."
