Plume Books (Penguin-Putnam Imprint), 1999.

Relying on the authors' backgrounds of numerous hours of therapy with couples and special training and experiences with criminal profiling, this book essentially teaches women how to spot relationship criminals by the third date.  It looks at the 25 different types of LOSERS and shows women how to identify them from the smallest characteristics.  This is accomplished through a series of tests, recounted stories from therapy and straight forward advice to help women set limits in their dating relationships.  The voice of this book is sarcastic and satirical, but very straight-forward regarding advice of who not to date, how to find who a man really is, and how to get rid of a LOSER for good.
