I can really recommend Iran Rowland's book "The Full Facts Book of Cold Reading" to anyone who wishes to arm themselves against psychics and other charlatans. http://www.thecoldreadingbook.com/


Ian Rowland's book is great stuff. I also recall a Malcolm Gladwell article that travelled some of the same territory and used Rowland as a source: http://www.gladwell.com/2007/2007_11_12_a_profile.html

Of course, that dealt with the possible inefficacy of FBI psychological profilers, which is less comfortable to think about than gullible office-workers.
