The time of psychopaths

There has always been a stable percentage of psychopaths - that is, properly, people suffering from dissociative personality disorder - in society. Wherever we go, it is virtually impossible to avoid these antisocial parasites altogether - they may include our neighbour, our supervisor, an elected politician or, worse, a family member.

The text, in which the brothers Radkin and František Honzákov joined forces, deals with the issue of psychopathy in a truly rigorous manner. From Radkin's treatise we learn what psychopathy actually is, what its manifestations and causes are, and why it is advisable to take the feet on the shoulders when dealing with this "person without a sense of fear". In a symbiosis of physician and historian, both then take the reader on a detailed historical excursion, detailing the "good and bad" psychopaths who have managed to make their mark on history, from the time of the ancient deities to the heated present.
