Dark psychology, however, contends that these characteristics may lead to both constructive and destructive behavior. These traits are referred to together because, while distinct, they often overlap among others who possess them. For example, narcissistic features might be present in a psychopath. However, Machiavellian conduct may also indicate narcissism. Consider the dark triad as a three-part Venn diagram that overlaps.

The purpose of the book is to identify mistaken behaviors and show how they undermine healthy relationships, in order to gently guide the individual towards adjustment.
