The Psychopath Test

I would welcome if author went even deeper and actually spent a chapter or two explaining the psychopathy and similar disorders in depth. For example the book mentions that psychopathy and sociopathy are the same disorder and psychologists are using the terms interchangeably. Why is that? If it's the same disorder why does it have two names?

What about the history? How were patients treated before Bob Hare's experiments? He mentions LSD trials but is that it? What about lobotomy and other crazy “treatments”. What about homosexuals? This book isn't only about psychopaths but about “mental disorders” in general, which sadly included, until recently, also homosexuals.

The book covers only the surface of “madness industry” while opening and spending the whole first chapter on completely unrelated “mystery”. Waste of time in my opinion. I'd welcome more facts and perhaps interviews.

However, it's still an awesome book that shows a bit of hidden truth. Psychopaths exist and they walk among us. After reading this book I'm pretty sure I know a few - normal people don't look at videos of beheadings and then talk about it as if it was the most fascinating thing in the world. You know who I'm talking about, doc.

Author also spends some time to explain the boom of diagnosing children with disorders while in reality they might just behave... like children do.

It truly is a must-read - well, unless there's a better book about it because from the writing I had a feeling Jon Ronson had no idea what he was doing most of the time. Professional journalist, huh...?
Still, the subject is too interesting to pass by.
