202 Ways To Spot A Psychopath In Personal Relationships Paperback – January 1, 2016

I loved this book and bought all of Adelyn Birch's other ones! These books saved my life, no kidding! So many people (especially women) spend years of their lives being victimized and staying in toxic relationships because they aren't able to understand how some people really are predators and will never have empathy or change. These books are clear, short, and concise and helped me make sense of all the drama, pain, and confusion that happened when I was with a psychopath. Best of all, they were VALIDATING. I haven't found anything this detailed and helpful online. I stopped feeling misunderstood after reading these. Every word felt like medicine for my soul. I would love to buy these books in Spanish too, if there was a translation. I have friends who could benefit from them. I personally feel like every girl in the world should read these books by the time they are out of highschool. It would save many lives and stop so much abuse! The message is high quality, but there's a few typos that cause a bit of discredit and could be fixed.

I read at least one book every two days. There are several books that are excellent while others are average or below.This particular one was written right to the point. Very interesting and immersed in it.Definitely a book for those who had been victims of psychphath, sociopaths and narcisist. Perfect for those who haven't been a victim yet.

I gave this book 4 stars due to the initial chapters describing psychopathy being repetitive (literally using same words & statements multiple times, but perhaps was intentional??). Once the chapters progressed towards the 'red flags' to notice & 'manipulation tactics', it began moving along much better & proved very insightful in not only descriptions of behaviors but also providing clear examples of said behavior descriptions. This also had good academic resources cited which have been written by PhD-accredited doctors & researchers, further helping give creedence to the author in proving & solidifying her experiences & clearly well-researched process attributed in writing it. A good resource and (IMHO) a book which should be required to all young adults prior to commencing their journey in the dating realm (as well as all adults seeking enlightenment for their own self-preservation)!!

Our Daughter married one and it has made our entire family dysfunctional ever since. People that are in a love relationship with these psychopath's/sociopath's/narcissists don't see how ugly they truly are because they are so easily manipulated at the very beginning of the relationship. These wolves don't add to ones life but rather they enjoy the challenge to destroy ones life.If you start loosing family and friends because you protect this kind of person then you know you are in the hands of a destroyer. Run, run away and don't look back. Nothing good is inside of them. They are the perfect pretenders and will lie, cheat and steal anything to carry on their miserable lives and cover up who and what they really are. They will turn the tables on loved ones to perpetuate their behaviors.Unfortunately, we have lost our daughter and grandchildren because we as loving parents asked questions and wanted to know more so were a threat to his hold on her. She is still after 8 years, unaware that those who really love her and care about her, that tried to protect her were not the problem. She just became his mini me and is sadly just like him now. Echo is her name now.Intelligent people such as our beautiful daughter are the most duped by these kinds of personality's because the more intelligent one is, the more they think they would know they are in a terrible relationship and so don't see the signs coming.Teach you children street smarts to see through the traps these psychopaths set before it gets started.I wish we had known about Sociopaths/Psychopaths before he came into our loving family home. They are so good at putting out the fishing line and reeling in the bait that I don't know if we could have helped our daughter at the very beginning because she had just come out of a bad relationship, prayed for the next man to be her one and only and believed she had answered prayer. Instead, by us being so unaware of him being a psychopath, we unknowingly played into his trap also in the beginning until we saw warning signs.Read about them before you encounter them to know what you are up against. These (people) term used loosely, are actually vicious predators. They are the real wolves in sheep's clothing and they truly are after your blood! Learn all you can about them or you might loose many years until you wake up and realize that you were only a pawn for their unsaleable appetite to look good on the outside to the world while the inside is really just pure evil wanting to eat your soul.

I liked how the writer got straight to the point. The book did not have a lot of "filler" material. Just give me the facts! This book is great for anyone who is struggling with a relationship and wondering why the feel so crazy or that they are on a rollercoaster...if you feel like your relationship is crazy making read this book. Chances are you have a psychopath or narcissist at hand. Get out with NO CONTACT. Read a lot, get away! I did.

Just got done reading the book...now I know why my coworker is the way he is.....😐😐😐The persistent heartlessness. The constant conniving and scheming. Constantly seeking to be in control. The grandiose attitude and the ability to look down his nose on anyone have now fully been explained. The subtle verbal manipulations, the constant watching me and the ever so faithful testing of boundaries have all been explained perfectly. Thank you for this book i will DEFINITELY BE READING MORE of this type of material. And to anyone out there deciding whether or not to buy this book go ahead and do it. It's worth the money and it's worth your life and your freedom

OK book. Most people of older age already knows this stuff from observation and life. Nothing revealing new to me. However I would recommend this book to young women. It could save them from a life of misery if they were to pay attention.
