The Dark Side of Personality: Science and Practice in Social, Personality, and Clinical Psychology explores the complexities of dark personality traits that are often linked to destructive behaviors and interpersonal issues. This book, edited by Virgil Zeigler-Hill, brings together insights from personality psychology and clinical psychology to offer a comprehensive taxonomy of these traits. Beyond the well-known “Dark Triad” comprising narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism, it delves into lesser-discussed traits such as spite, authoritarianism, and perfectionism. Drawing on recent research in the Big Five personality dimensions, each trait is examined through its adaptive and maladaptive features, providing unique clinical perspectives. Published by the American Psychological Association in 2016, this volume offers a detailed exploration of dark personality from scientific and practical standpoints, making it essential reading for professionals and researchers in social, personality, and clinical psychology.
