I know a few people who are close to me who have NPD and ASPD. They don't want to seek treatment at all... They think therapist and psychiatrists don't understand NPD and ASPD. They say the DSM spreads stigma... So I thought it would best I ask my personal support team, which includes members and professionals on this site how to handle this person.

I'd like to know if anyone out there is close to someone with ASPD and how they handle it.

I also found this link: Dealing with a sociopath - 9 unbreakable rules

Looks useful but I'd prefer advice of people who have been around a socio/psychopath/ASPD and know already how to handle it. I can't just cut off contact with person either. We work together. He's already tried manipulating me. It failed because I figured out he was a sociopath pretty quickly. The others in the workplace don't even know what ASPD/Sociopathy really is. He's already got a couple of them bent around his finger. This is making my job hard and I don't know what to do.

Thanks
