For a while now I have been recommending anyone working in an adversarial environment to read the book Character Disturbance by Dr. George Simon. Blurb from amazon: psychologist George Simon explains in plain English:
How most disturbed characters think.
The habitual behaviors the disturbed use to avoid responsibility and to manipulate, deceive, and exploit others.
Why victims in relationships with disturbed characters do not get help they need from traditional therapies.
A straightforward guide to recognizing and understanding all relevant personality types
Smart people I know still regularly fall for personality disordered patterns, and I have seen people I met with personality disturbances successfully apply for grants. I think this is highly underrated and tractable knowledge.

Are you saying grantmakers should read Character Disturbance because it will help them recognize grifters when reviewing grant applications?
