The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry is a 2011 psychology book written by British author Jon Ronson in which he explores the concept of psychopathy, along with the broader mental health "industry" including mental health professionals and the mass media.

Picked up at the York BookCrossing meetup. I have read this before, but I fancied a decent re-read with something I know I'll enjoy.

Journal Entry 4 by LouiseB79 at York, North Yorkshire United Kingdom on Sunday, July 9, 2017
As someone who has worked in the "mental health industry" between now and my last reading of this, I found it newly interesting. Are mental health difficulties such as autism, ADHD and bipolar being over-diagnosed these days or are we just better at spotting them? And how can you objectively determine that when there are so many interested parties? The stuff about psychopathy was maybe less fascinating the second time around. I thought there was perhaps a sensationalist aspect and the author might have spent more time talking to actual psychopaths, or even people who had been victims of them in some way.

Picked up at last night's meet.

I've read quite a lot of Ronson recently - and enjoyed it (I happen to find him far less annoying on the page than I do on the small screen, for some reason!) - so I look forward to this one...

Since I've gone off the prospect of reading this, rather than hang onto it any longer, I am releasing it back into the wonderful world of BookCrossing. I'm planning to release it at this Tuesday evening's BC Meetup - which is being held at The Eagle & Child in York from 7.15pm onwards...
