This book analyses the conceptualization of psychopathic personality disorder for criminal
forensic populations and examines in depth the emerging phenomenon of the 'corporate
psychopath'. In doing so its authors expose the paradoxical nature of the disorder: while it is
frequently associated with antisocial criminal and predatory behaviour more recent studies
have highlighted examples of creative visionary and inspiring leaders who are also found to
present a high degree of psychopathy. They focus on the nature behaviours and consequences of
psychopathy in executives and across the organization offering an important contribution to
the emerging body of research on psychopathy and other problematic personality constructs in
the workplace. The book will appeal to scholars students and professionals across the
discipline and particularly to those working in workplace forensic and personality
psychology.
