Psychopathen? Die großen Massenmörder der Gegenwart fallen einem ein, die Amokläufer, die Gemeingefährlichen. Doch es sind nicht nur jene aus den Schlagzeilen, die unser Leben bedrohen. Es sind die Nachbarn, die aus fadenscheinigen Gründen einen Streit vom Gartenzaun brechen, die falschen Freunde, die unsere Energie und Kraft rauben, die Mobber im Büro. Die unsichtbaren Wunden, die sie uns zufügen, sind die wahre Gefahr. Es sind psychische, finanzielle oder emotionale Verletzungen - und die sind oft verheerend.
