Synopsis

______________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATIONS AND PRAISE FROM READERS
_______________________________________________________
“. . . the book is engaging when it addresses Marshack’s five levels of “EmDs.” The second chapter does a particularly good job of describing each one of these. . . .The EmD levels do resonate, and the
implications of empathy dysfunction become clear.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“A Must Have! Combine equal parts trauma, tenacity, courage, mama-bear energy, and determination to help others, then add big dollops of empathy and wisdom, and you have this book. Dr. Kathy Marshack survived the unthinkable and tells her story loudly and clearly, offering others in relationships with unscrupulous people a roadmap out of their suffering. She designed the Empathy Dysfunction Scale to deepen our understanding of the range of human empathy disorders. . . . If you are struggling with mean people or confused about your loved one’s behavior, I highly recommend reading this book.”
—Dr. Julie Glass
_____________

Just plain mean. That’s how many would see it if: their best friend swindled them; a cyberbully harassed them; a neighbor filed complaints about fabricated wrongdoings; or they befriended a good-looking stranger who inched into their life and hijacked it.

If any of this sounds familiar, “Beware,” advises Dr. Marshack. “These ‘innocents’ may be more than liars or cheats. They may be narcissists, even sociopaths, who are living with Empathy Dysfunction (EmD), putting NeuroTypicals in harm’s way.” “NeuroDiverse” (ND) describes the unique workings of a brain that is different from those with typical neurological development or functioning; hence, the term, “NeuroTypical” (NT).

When Empathy Dysfunction is afoot, Empathy has failed. To demystify the puzzling—often maddening—world of EmD, Dr. Marshack invented the Empathy Dysfunction Scale. It identifies the severity of EmD, ranging from EmD-0 (having zero degrees of Empathy but not intending harm) to EmD-5 (epitomizing Empathy).

“When Empathy Fails,” the latest from this long-established psychologist and prolific writer on Empathy and Empathy Dysfunction, is a far cry from the dry psychological treatise expected when discussing Autism, “Asperger Syndrome,” addiction, or TBI. It is a hair-raising memoir with lessons and warnings about EmD clues that should not be ignored. She documents how Empathy Dysfunction in her family and community nearly destroyed her personally and professionally.

“This book,” said Edward Snook, publisher of the ‘US~Observer,’ “is an imperative read for [crime] victims, law enforcement personnel, and those working in the legal system.” On Snook’s watch, the newspaper published several investigative articles about the critical damage vigilante justice and wrongful prosecution wrought on Dr. Marshack and her family. A groundbreaking book, it should be a dog-eared reference for anyone living in the shadow of Empathy Dysfunction.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Have you ever... · Felt victimized, been swindled or lied to by your best friend; · Loaned money to loved ones who squandered the gift and never paid you back; · Had to fight unscrupulous prosecutors for your freedom; · Been forced to defend yourself from your vengeful ex or your ungrateful children; · Bumped into a beguiling, but shifty, stranger? If so, you’ve crossed paths with someone operating with Empathy Dysfunction (EmD). In this book, psychologist, Dr. Kathy Marshack, helps you not only understand why this is happening, but how to protect yourself from those hell-bent on destroying you. Narcissists, sociopaths, addicts, brain injured, autistics, a vengeful ex, corrupt city officials and greedy neighbors. What do these people have in common? According to Licensed Psychologist, Dr. Kathy Marshack, they all lack empathy. She ought to know. She endured a 12-year perfect storm of divorce, lawsuits, assaults, cyberstalking, false arrests, predatory prosecution, and the loss of her children to parental alienation. Throughout all these experiences she noticed there was a common theme, namely people with Empathy Dysfunction (EmD). Dr. Kathy Marshack does more than share her unbelievable true story, she shares: · Hard-learned lessons on how to stand up for yourself when dealing with people who could literally care less about you. · A way to identify those with a dysfunctional lack of empathy using the new Empathy Dysfunction Scale (EmD Scale), so you can shield yourself from the destruction they leave in their wake. · Clues you should never ignore for your own safety – like a rotten neighbor, friends who start believing the nasty gossip spread by your ex-partner, or a nagging feeling you’re being watched. Pay attention, it may be because “they” really are out to get you. · Warrior training to protect yourself from dangerous people. If you’ve been hurt just once, or maybe too many times to count, by a person with EmD, apply the warrior training in this book, increase your own empathy to a higher level, and reclaim the beautiful life you are meant to live.
