Martha Stout, Ph.D. completed her professional training in psychology at the McLean Psychiatric Hospital. She served as an instructor on the faculty of the Harvard Medical School for over twenty-five years, and served as part of the graduate faculty of The New School, the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology, and Wellesley College. [1] She has written several books on psychology that appeal to the popular market.

In her most popular book, The Sociopath Next Door: The Ruthless Versus the Rest of Us, she advises developing an awareness of the nature of anti-social behavior in order to avoid becoming its victim and proposes thirteen rules as self-help guidelines to assessing relationships and behavior for these characteristics, as well as offering advice on handling situations when one encounters the behavior. [1]

Dr. Stout currently is in private practice as a clinical psychologist in Boston and resides in Cape Ann, Massachusetts. [2], [3]
