About this course
You suspect your romantic partner may be disordered — a psychopath, antisocial, narcissist, borderline or histrionic. But what is a psychopath? What exactly does that mean?
You just can’t wrap your brain around your partner’s behavior. How can someone go from worshipping you to treating you like trash, for no apparent reason? How can they be unbelievably cruel, and then act as if nothing happened?
In this webinar, Donna Andersen, author of Lovefraud.com, offers you a primer on personality disorders: How these people behave, what they want, and why they do what they do. Yes, their motivations are totally different from yours, and no, they will not come around to your point of view. If you’re involved with an exploiter, it’s critical that you understand what you’re dealing with — and that’s exactly what you’ll learn.
Highlights of this webinar:
- What is a psychopath, antisocial, narcissist, borderline, histrionic?
- What disordered individuals really want
- Sociopaths and sex
- Inside the sociopathic mind
- How the disorders develop — genetics and environment

Informative and fascinating! Helped me tremendously to understand!!
Presentation was clear and to the point – Liked the photos of how sociopaths look like us!!! Power point presentation reinforces the verbal presentation – making it easier to understand.
