Highly accessible textbook for my class on how to assess the danger posed by a client. Lots of clear English and strong examples. Even some dark humor. I would really like to see an updated version of this, because it was published at the birth of the internet and pre social media. I think the discussion of stalking would be completely different. The discussion of mass murder might be changed somewhat as well.

***WARNING Political Truth Ahead ******
I was horrified to read his breakdown of the elements of the PCL-R. The criteria for psychopathy were 95% satisfied with respect to the current occupant of the White House. The only ?upside? Is that he is not personally physically violent-- he just commands the military and the nuclear arsenal.
