New book by Dr Karen Mitchell
Human Predators is about one of the greatest deceptions of humankind, a lie with such extensive implications that it has led to the death and debilitation of millions.
This book highlights how academics – for a variety of reasons – have clearly misrepresented how to detect predators.
Based on the most comprehensive study ever undertaken of aversive personalities, including narcissists, psychopaths, coercive controllers, toxic leaders and dark triad, Human Predators highlights the shared attributes of dangerous people and the weaponry they use to harm others and avoid accountability. It explains WHY aversive personalities are so dangerous and discusses a multitude of fascinating red flags never published before.
If you want to protect yourself and your loved ones from those who harm without remorse, this book is a must read!
A few comments on Dr Mitchell's book
“If it feels like no one has ever believed you about what it's like to be relentlessly targeted by a narcissist, psychopath or any kind of dark personality, here is the book that finally tells your story, and backs it up with comprehensive scientific detail.”
—Emeritus Professor Stan Willenbring PhD
“Masterful! A must-read for anyone dealing with Human Predators in the boardroom, politics or personal relationships.”
—Sandra Pickering, international company director and business psychologist
“Reading Human Predators is like discovering the key to a code.
Mitchell doesn’t just give comprehensive and illuminating insights into ‘Dark Personalities’ but reveals why and when their masks begin to slip. Her extensive research canvasses more than just their traits and tactics, but their level of deception – demonstrating how most manage to evade punitive action despite being depraved and sadistic to the core.”
—Alison Sandy, Investigations Editor, Seven Network
Organisational disruptors
We are profilers who can ‘see’ behavioural indicators in people who compromise performance, reputation and brand.
The litigious, reputational and financial risks of failing to address human predators is future altering.
We have developed and patented a framework to accurately and rapidly identify people motivated to exploit, manipulate, deceive, and harm.
Our Persistent Predatory Personality model (peer-reviewed) uses a powerful set of data points to identify human predators.
Our trainers are deeply knowledgeable in aversive personalities as well as highly experienced in culture change, so we work well with complex dynamics, personal agendas, cultural drivers and curve balls.
Coercive Control
We have developed and patented the most comprehensive, nuanced model of coercive control behaviours in the world.
Our coercive control model has been peer-review published.
Our trainers, educators and coaches are deeply experienced in building knowledge and capabilities in others and understand the behavioural, clinical, legal, and ethical context of coercive control.
Our patented coercive control model presents patterns that make coercive controllers far easier to ‘see’ and can be used in the courts to have them held to account
Our deeply compassionate coaches understand the impact of coercive control, are trauma informed, and ‘get’ the justice system context.
Narcissists
Narcissistic damage is emotional, psychological, physical, reputational, financial, social, work-related, sexual, parental, spiritual and/or relational.
Our expert coaches are deeply compassionate, trauma-informed and fully aware of the harm caused by narcissistic abuse.
Our highly experienced trainers and educators work from the most comprehensive, nuanced model of narcissistic behaviours in the world. They are also deeply informed regarding the behavioural, clinical, ethical, and legal context of narcissism.
Our patented model includes the attributes shared by all narcissists as well as the 25 tactics they use to control, harm, exploit, and avoid exposure - we ‘see’ what might otherwise be difficult to understand or expose.
Persistent Predatory Personality
Our work offers the most comprehensive, nuanced framework in the world of the shared traits of those who harm by choice.
The Persistent Predatory Personality (PPP) model offers exponentially more ‘red flags’, more ways to ‘see’ human predators, than any in existence.
It will be like a switch is turned on after attendance at any of our training and coaching programs. People will be able to ‘see’ predators in a way not previously possible, and understand harm prevention strategies, reducing risk.
Our compassionate coaches are deeply knowledgeable of the impact of predators and trauma-informed in their approach to healing.
Our model offers a means by which witness testimony can be powerfully backed up where there is no physical evidence.
