Vaknin is himself a psychopathic narcissist, diagnosed twice by two different clinicians within a 10-year period.

In 1995 he was found guilty in an Israeli court on three counts of securities fraud. He was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. It was a blessing in disguise, he says.

“For the first time I came across the fact that, whatever it is I have it’s destroyed my life and ever since then I’ve been studying these disorders and trying to find cures if possible, or at least amelioration or mitigation of these disorders.”

Vaknin’s self-assessment is as commendable in stark honesty as it is chilling.
