Description
Sociopaths have the drive to dominate others, disregard the law, lack remorse, and are skilled at lying and conning. They fool professionals on a regular basis, including in family law cases. Learn how to identify, understand, and manage them in this video series.

The first half of this course provides a basic understanding of the dynamics of sociopaths (aka antisocial personality disorder), why people fall in love with them, why professionals are easily conned by them, their frequent abusive behavior, and the types of false allegations they frequently make against clients and professionals.

The second half of the course addresses managing clients with antisocial traits, dealing with sociopaths as the opposing party, investigating the case, presenting such a case in family court, negotiation, and mediation, and protecting yourself when necessary. Case examples will be given for dealing with sociopaths in and out of court.
