Publisher's Synopsis
Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is one of the most misunderstood and stigmatised mental health conditions. In The Mask of Deception, we explore the complexities of this disorder-its causes, symptoms, and the profound impact it has on individuals and society. Drawing on cutting-edge research, real-life case studies, and expert insights, this book offers a deep dive into the behavioural traits associated with ASPD, from the manipulative tendencies and lack of empathy to the impulsivity and aggression that often define it. Through detailed discussions of family dynamics, romantic relationships, and criminal behaviour, readers will gain a clearer understanding of how ASPD affects both the individuals living with it and those around them. The book also tackles challenging questions about the treatment and management of ASPD, offering a balanced view of current therapeutic approaches and the ethical dilemmas surrounding this diagnosis. Whether you're a mental health professional, a family member, or someone seeking to understand this disorder more deeply, The Mask of Deception provides invaluable insights into one of the most troubling and difficult-to-treat conditions. With practical advice, resources, and a forward-thinking approach to reducing stigma, this book is a vital resource for anyone navigating the challenges of ASPD.
