Summary of Robert D. Hare's Without Conscience

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The three accounts that make up this chapter are drawn from a prison population, where most of the studies of psychopathy take place, and from everyday life, where psychopaths are found not only in prison populations.

#2 I was hired as the prison psychologist in the early 1960s. I had no experience or interest in clinical psychology, but I was willing to learn. The first client I saw was a tall, slim dark-haired man in his thirties named Ray.

#3 Ray was a psychopath who was transferred to the prison to be treated for his psychopathy. He was constantly making demands on my time, and when I tried to help him, he tried to manipulate me into doing things for him.

#4 After I left the prison, I was still making payments on a 1958 Ford that I could not really afford. One of the officers there, later to become warden, offered to trade his 1950 Morris Minor for my Ford and take over my payments. I agreed, and because the Morris wasn’t in good shape, I had it repaired in the prison’s auto shop.
