M. E. THOMAS is a diagnosed sociopath and the founder of SociopathWorld. She is not a killer. Quite the contrary, she is an accomplished attorney and law professor who writes regularly for major law journals, donates 10 percent of her income to charity, and teaches Sunday school.
Praise for Confessions of a Sociopath
"[A] gripping and important book...revelatory...quite the memorable
roller coaster ride." --New York Times Book Review
"Fascinating...part memoir, part psychological treatise, and
entirely not to be trusted." --Boston Globe "The goal of
Confessions is to redefine sociopathy--or at least to shake
off the stigma associated with it. And Thomas accomplishes both.
Through her honest portrayal of herself as a highly capable yet
deeply flawed individual, she demystifies her disorder."
--Scientific American
"Fascinating stuff, and Thomas delivers...riveting...chilling...Her
incisive observations about human nature can be breathtakingly
pointed." --Cleveland Plain Dealer "An essential,
unprecedented memoir...intelligent, measured...Her arguments
against using the diagnosis as an indicator of evil or a
pre-emptive reason to imprison are a slam-dunk. This is a critical
addition to narratives of mental illness, deepened by the awareness
that we're reading someone whose most intense motivation is
'acquisition, retention, and exploitation of power'."
--Publishers Weekly, starred review "Fascinating and
compelling as well as chilling, Thomas' memoir offers a window into
the mind of a portion of the population that usually remains
shrouded in mystery and fear." --Booklist, starred
review
"[Thomas] invites us into her courtroom, classroom and bedroom to
witness how her behavior has stunted her work life and made her
love life difficult...Much here is chilling, but there are also
cracks that make you ache for her....A work of advocacy for greater
awareness of sociopathy's reach and conduct." --Kirkus
