Laughter Effects: Humor and Inspiration for Victims of Sociopaths (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781466309760)

Current research estimates the number of people with Antisocial Personality Disorder as somewhere between 1 in 25 and 1 in a 100. Whether it is a coworker, a friend, a family member or a spouse, an entanglement with a sociopath can turn your world upside down. Laughter Effects: Humor and Inspiration for Victims of Sociopaths is designed to reduce the post-traumatic stress associated with exiting a relationship with a sociopath. Part inspirational, part educational and part comic book, Laughter Effects highlights more than sixty self-empowering comic images and reflections specifically created for victims of sociopaths, a visual gallery of healing words and images designed to reduce the effects of psychological abuse, and a unique set of useful resources for survivors, including professionals who specialize in the positive effects of humor. "We hope to see you laughing and celebrating life again " - Andrea I. Martin "This incredible little book not only shows readers various words and images of humor that can help with the effects of Antisocial Personality Disorder, but it also gives a guide of internet sites, organizations, books, research, and contributions from a variety of doctors (i.e., Patch Adams) and the work they do to help others. Although this is quite a small book, it holds a great deal of punch. It explores the world of the sociopath - the ever-changing chameleon - and gives the research and humor necessary to begin helping others in the world of psychopathy, sociopathy, and psychology. A remarkable look at a world that is something we would all rather not see, but should know ahead of time how to deal with." - Feathered Quill Book Reviews
