You’ll learn how to help your children deal with their feelings about divorce, and handle the changes in their lives. You’ll also get a wealth of practical information on what to expect in the legal process, the ins and outs of various custody arrangements and visitation plans, and how to avoid the pitfalls of parenting from a distance.

  • Violence Assessment and Intervention: The Practitioner's Handbook, Third Edition

    Violence Assessment and Intervention: The Practitioner’s Handbook, Third Edition

    $74.99

    Violence Assessment and Intervention: The Practitioner’s Handbook, now in its third edition, provides a proven methodology, grounded in the current empirical research and the authors’ experience in successfully assessing and managing thousands of cases in a variety of contexts and environments, for analyzing concerning behaviors and potential threatening situations, and taking action in these challenging, dynamic environments before tragedy occurs. Threat and violence assessment and management is an essential process in reducing violence and its consequences. The ongoing challenge for those assessors, particularly in common workplace environments (e.g., educational settings, public agency settings, and business settings), is applying the applicable behavioral science research in a practical and effective manner to maximize safety.

    The book begins by demonstrating the threat and violence assessment process from the point of the initial call and proceeds through the steps that quantify the situation and determine the appropriate response. The next section covers information gathering, victimology, and formulas and tools for risk assessment. Finally, the book explores organizational influences, school violence, ethics, security and consultation issues; the formation and running of threat management teams, and relevant laws related to violence assessment.

    This book is a valuable reference for human resource professionals, security professionals, mental health practitioners, law enforcement personnel, and lawyers who are members of threat assessment teams, provide threat and violence assessment and management consultations, as well as expert witnesses in cases involving workplace violence, school violence, security negligence; or wrongful termination or disputed school disciplinary actions related to aggressive, threatening, or violent behavior.

  • Snakes in Suits: Understanding and Surviving the Psychopaths in Your Office

    Snakes in Suits: Understanding and Surviving the Psychopaths in Your Office

    $29.99

    Revised and updated with the latest scientific research and updated case studies, the business classic that offers a revealing look at the corporate psychopath―how to spot their destructive workplace behavior and stop them from creating chaos in the modern corporate organization.

    Over the past decade, Snakes in Suits has become the definitive book on how to discover and defend yourself against psychopaths in the office. Now, Dr. Paul Babiak and Dr. Robert D. Hare return with a revised and updated edition of their essential guide.

    All of us at some point have―or will―come into contact with psychopathic individuals. The danger they present may not be readily apparent because of their ability to charm, deceive, and manipulate. Although not necessarily criminal, their self-serving nature frequently is destructive to the organizations that employ them. So how can we protect ourselves and our organizations from this manipulative behavior in a business climate that offers the perfect conditions for psychopaths to thrive?

    In Snakes in Suits, Hare, an expert on the scientific study of psychopathy, and Babiak, an industrial and organizational psychologist and a leading authority on the corporate psychopath, examine the role of psychopaths in modern corporations and provide the tools employers can use for personal self-defense to avoid and deal with them. Together, they have developed the B-Scan 360, a research tool designed specifically for business professionals.

    Dr. Babiak and Dr. Hare reveal the secret lives of psychopaths, explain the ways in which they manipulate and deceive, and help you to see through their games. The rapid pace of today’s corporate environment provides the perfect breeding ground for these “snakes in suits” and this newly revised and updated classic gives you the insight, information, and power to protect yourself and your company before it’s too late.

    This essential guide provides the tools you need to identify and neutralize these toxic employees in your own organization:

    • Identify Red Flags: Learn the subtle but consistent personality traits and destructive behaviors that signal a snake in a suit is operating in your midst.
    • Understand Psychopathic Manipulation: Decode the playbook of charm, deceit, and game-playing that corporate psychopaths use to gain trust, create chaos, and turn colleagues against each other.
    • Leadership vs. Deception: Distinguish between genuine leadership qualities and the charismatic façade of a manipulator who mimics them for personal gain.
    • Protect Your Company: Implement practical strategies and organizational safeguards, including insights from the B-Scan 360 research tool, to defend your team and your bottom line.

  • Stalking, Threatening, and Attacking Public Figures [backordered]

    Stalking, Threatening, and Attacking Public Figures [backordered]

    $74.99

    Published 2008. 474 pages.

    Public figures require attention, whether from a constituency who votes them in or out of office, shareholders who decide their economic benefit to the corporation, or fans who judge their performances. However, on the periphery of this normal attention resides a very real risk; that of a much smaller group of individuals who lack the ability to discriminate between their own private fantasies and the figure’s public behavior. They may be personally insulted by perceived betrayal, fanatically in love due to a perceived affectionate or sexual invitation, or simply preoccupied with the daily life of the public figure. Such individuals may fixate and do nothing more. Others communicate or approach in a disturbing way. A few will threaten. And on rare occasions, one will breach the public figure’s security perimeter and attack.

    Stalking, Threatening, and Attacking Public Figures is a comprehensive survey of the current knowledge about stalking, violence risk, and threat management towards public figures. With contributions from forensic psychologists and psychiatrists, clinicians, researchers, attorneys, profilers, and current and former law enforcement enforcement professionals, this book is the first of its kind, international in scope, and rich in both depth and complexity.

    The book is divided into three sections which, in turn, focus upon defining, explaining, and risk managing this increasingly complex global reality. Chapters include detailed case studies, analyses of quantitative data, reflections from attachment theory and psychoanalytic thought, descriptions of law enforcement and protective organization activities, mental health and psychiatric categorizations and understandings, consideration of risk assessment models and variables, victim perspectives, and others.

  • The Abusive Personality - Violence and Control in Intimate Relationships (Second Edition)

    The Abusive Personality – Violence and Control in Intimate Relationships (Second Edition)

    $29.99

    262 pages, New 2nd edition published in 2007.

    This thoroughly documented work demonstrates that male abusiveness is more than just a learned pattern of behavior-it is the outgrowth of a particular personality configuration. Findings from the author’s research with over 400 batterers are integrated with the literature on object relations, attachment, and psychological trauma to trace the development of the abusive personality from early childhood to adulthood. Helping readers better understand the causes of abusiveness and the subjective experience of these men, the book has vital implications for research, prevention and treatment.

    Comment: This book would most benefit psychologists, psychiatrists, family therapists, social workers, legal professionals, researchers and students.

    Quotes: “Dutton’s formulations are the product of a first-rate scientific mind informed by decades of empirical research. He brings scientific rigor and intellectual clarity to his writing, which is both scholarly and compelling. With this second edition, Dutton solidifies his position as one of the world’s most eminent domestic violence researchers.” Reid Meloy, Ph.D.

    “By far the best text on the male batterer written to date…This book is a “must read” for any clinician working with perpetrators or victims of violence.” Daniel Jay Sonkin, Ph.D.

  • The Expert Expert Witness - More Maxims and Guidelines for Testifying in Court

    The Expert Expert Witness – More Maxims and Guidelines for Testifying in Court

    $29.99

    Psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals may be experts in their respective fields, but this expertise does not easily translate to effective courtroom testimony. Even veteran expert witnesses can encounter new challenges in these high-pressure situations, especially during a cross-examination where every statement and gesture can be scrutinized by an attorney searching for ways to dispute the expert’s credibility and opinions.

    Short chapters punctuated by memorable maxims draw from the authors’ expansive personal experiences, as well as research and stories from other expert expert witnesses, to create this must-have resource that will inform and entertain expert witnesses for many years.

    Stanley Brodsky, Ph.D.
    published in 1999

    Quotes: “This is a wonderful book. It is extremely useful for expert witnesses at all levels of experience. It is well written, succinct, highly readable, and engaging. It is a book that is enjoyable as well as educational…” Charles Patrick Ewing, J.D., Ph.D., ABPP

    The Psychology of Stalking: Clinical and Forensic Perspectives

    $49.99

    327 pages, published in 1998.
    J. Reid Meloy

    “The Psychology of Stalking is the first Scholarly book on stalking ever published. Virtually every serious writer and researcher in this area of criminal psychopathology has contributed to this comprehensive resource. These chapters explore stalking from social, psychiatric, psychological, legal and behavioral perspectives. New thinking and data are presented on threats, pursuit characteristics, psychiatric diagnosis, offender-victim typologies, cyberstalking, false victimization syndrome, erotmania, stalking and domestic violence, stalking of public figures, and many other aspects of stalking. This landmark text is of interest to both professionals and other thoughtful individuals who recognize the serious nature of this ominous social behavior at the end of the millennium.” Excerpt taken from bookcover

    “The Psychology of Stalking is a comprehensive, up to date, scholarly review that includes everything from Shakespeare’s stalking sonnets to cyberstalking. It provides a wealth of useful information. The book is must reading for law enforcement and mental health professionals that deal with stalkers.” Phillip J. Resnick, M.D. Director of Forensic Psychiatry, Case Western Reserve University

    “J. Reid Meloy and his colleagues have blended clinical insight, scientific rigor, and legal precision to produce the one indispensable book on stalking. Encyclopedic in coverage and gracefully written, this work will have enormous influence on practice, policy, and research. With the publication of The Psychology of Stalking: Clinical and Forensic Perspectives, the study of stalking has come of age.” John Monahan, Ph.D. University of Virginia School of Law

  • Sale! Threat Assessment and Management Strategies: Identifying the Hunters and Howlers, Second Edition

    Threat Assessment and Management Strategies: Identifying the Hunters and Howlers, Second Edition

    Original price was: $110.00.Current price is: $89.99.

    Threat Assessment and Management Strategies: Identifying the Hunters and Howlers, Second edition

    The field of threat assessment and the research surrounding it have exploded since the first edition of Threat Assessment and Management Strategies: Identifying the Howlers and Hunters. To reflect those changes, this second edition contains more than 100 new pages of material, including several new chapters, charts, and illustrations, as well as updated cases.

    The book has been reorganized into two parts. The first part offers the authors’ current thinking on how to conduct practical and effective threat management processes. The second provides an in-depth analysis of how howlers and hunters behave and how understanding those behaviors can be used to manage each type of problem individual.

    This new edition draws on the latest research, as well as ideas and concepts from the authors’ previous books. It integrates the sum of their careers in threat management—both their individual experiences managing problem situations and their research and writing on the topic—into a single volume. As in each of their previous books, it focuses on operationally effective and practical methods for managing problem situations.

    This book also covers special issues in threat management, exploring the relationship between the law and the intimacy effect as well as different ways to identify, assess, and manage howlers and hunters. Each chapter concludes with a real-life situation analysis relevant to the subject under focus.

    Drawing upon the latest research and on the previous work of its authors, Threat Assessment and Management Strategies, Second Edition provides a complete guide to setting up successful threat management processes. It approaches the presented strategies as guidelines rather than prescriptions, emphasizing that threat managers must use their intelligence and originality to modify strategies as necessary to suit each situation.
