This collection of essays originally posted on the self-help website psychopathfree.com, cofounded by MacKenzie, delivers engaging advice for readers who have self-identified as victims of emotional abuse. The focus is specifically on recovery from romantic relationships with psychopaths, a term used, perhaps a little too generally, to refer to people who may possess borderline, antisocial, and/or narcissistic personality disorders. MacKenzie, using first person and addressing the reader directly, creates a cozy support-group tone and initially defines psychopathy symptoms (how to recognize toxic people in general), then traces the arc of the relationship with an emotional abuser and outlines the stages of recovery from the damaging union, with emphasis on understanding grief and encouraging introspection. Although the author's tone is highly personal, no personal details are conveyed or case histories presented. VERDICT Martha Stout's Sociopath Next Door and Paul Babiak and Robert D. Hare's Snakes in Suits are more informational; in addition, there are a variety of more clinically insightful titles. This one is strictly for self-helpers.--Kellie Benson, Oakton Community Coll.
