SynopsisSociopaths can be found in every facet of life: personal relationships, work, school, and family. Most people have been in a relationship or interacted with more than one sociopath in their lifetime, often not recognizing their danger until it was too late. The Sociopath At the Breakfast Table breaks new ground in the field of abusive relationships. It presents an emerging theory about sociopathic interaction: SEAT, or the "Sociopath-Empath-Apath Triad." With this new found understanding of how sociopaths worm their way into people's lives, readers can use the tips and techniques found in this book to protect themselves from potential harm. More importantly, the authors show how empathy can be used as an antidote to sociopathic abuse--thus, victims are able to seize back power and ultimately regain control over their lives. This book presents readers information and tips on every aspect of interactions with a sociopath, from avoiding meeting one, to getting rid of them, dealing with the aftermath, and regaining control of their life., Protect yourself and loved ones from manipulative people who have no conscience, feel no shame Sociopaths make up an alarming 1-4 percent of the population and can be found in all areas of life: family, work, school, the community--even churches, temples and mosques. Unable to relate to the feelings of others, they repeatedly exploit their victims, leaving deep emotional and psychological scars. Yet sociopaths look normal, are very skilled at lying and often go unnoticed. Like stealth missiles, they zero in on victims, wreck their lives and leave without remorse or consequence. The Sociopath at the Breakfast Table teaches readers how to identify everyday sociopaths and take steps to protect themselves. Authors Dr. Jane McGregor and Tim McGregor also explain that, while generous or empathetic people often make ideal victims, their empathy may sometimes become an antidote to sociopathic abuse. Included in this fascinating new work are a full profile of common sociopathic traits and real-life stories of sociopathic abuse an Empathy Quotient Quiz that readers can use to measure their own empathy levels a helpful new theory of sociopathic interaction, the "Sociopath-Empath-Apath Triad" The authors provide step-by-step techniques for dealing with the anger and guilt that often follows a manipulative encounter or relationship. With this knowledge, readers can spot a sociopath's traps and avoid them, protecting themselves -- and those they love -- from the monster who just might be smiling at them from across the breakfast table., Sociopaths can be found in every facet of life: personal relationships, work, school, and family.
