I was locked into a business relationship with a lower level psychopath (he wouldn’t kill anyone but he could drive someone to suicide and then be proud of it). Whatever words came out of his mouth, I always had to be totally aware of who he actually was until I was able to extricate myself from the situation.

I just left a relationship with someone who was antisocial and I was fooled. I spent free time studying, reading papers, taking university courses on personality disorders, specifically cluster B personalities and I was still fooled. I think part of it, and why I stayed so long was because it makes me sad that someone is literally incapable of empathy. Sometimes it can be a curse especially in situations like this, but I COULD not imagine not having it. I also believe there is a difference between antisocial and psychopathy as he wasn't charming or goal orientated really, and he did have emotional capacity (had depression, and other feelings). He could show cognitive empathy but not pure empathy on an emotional. compassionate level. There was no remorse also which is scary, For me it was like a cold prison with no intimacy. The one thing I did notice with him was that is that the interpersonal relationship with me was almost like a vulnerable narcissistic - like poor me, im a victim, I love you, but this is your fault x y z, gaslighting, grandiosity. The world owes me or didnt recognize me, But outside of that he was someone who just did not care, didnt really care to much about consequences. Started getting in trouble and going to jail at age 15 and onward. To figure out a name for it really helps (is he narcissistic or is he antisocial) I honestly think its a bit of both but more so antisocial. I am hurt, and the change is causing grief, which I do know now is normal. I appreciate the experience that I got first hand because now I am more aware on a personal level of what these people are like, its really different then reading a book or taking a course. I would like to say to anyone who is possibly in one of these relationships that it is never your job to sacrifice yourself to someone with bad behaviors in hopes of saving them.

I recently entered into a relationship by choice with somebody who I know is a sociopath, and it's because I'm absolutely fascinated by him. I've never seen anybody project their childhood trauma upon their persona so clearly. He also puts on heavy charm, the fact that he's very tall and extremely buff and very good looking makes it easier for me to talk myself into researching him. Lol. I'm autistic, he gets really annoyed with me. I call him out on his shit all the time and tell him that he's only reacting the way he is because he is antisocial personality disorder and he needs another hit of dopamine. 😫🤣 We understand each other pretty well, however I've had to put him in check momentarily when he breaks one of the boundaries that I have set. Recently he's been pushing my limits more and more, so we have decided to take more space from each other. We have an odd type of respect for one another. I've known him for a few years, but I definitely don't trust him in a lot of different ways.

Sorry you had to learn the hard way. But that's the way it is with most things in life. I have been around psychopaths and narcs my whole life unfortunately. So I understand it but it still sucks. Always best to just get away from them. It's kind of hard to tell at first but one clue is if someone is charming and seems too good to be true, they usually are. These people are on a spectrum. My sister is highly narcissistic, but I've also seen her bump up into the psychopathy range. Deeply damaged woman. Highly toxic and destructive, pathological liar, but also very immature and predictable. It's odd how these people have almost identical behavior. Once you learn it, it's easier to spot. But there are so many of them out there nowadays, it's hard to find a nice, regular person anymore. I've grown very distrustful of people after growing up in a family with one psychopath and two narcissistic parents. But yeah they will never NEVER change. You just have to move on and be grateful you got away. No regrets.

My very core was decimated by a "Prince Charming" psychopath for about 6 years. Other people call them successful psychopaths. We share a son (who I constantly make sure can emote at age-appropriate levels and shows empathy, caring, connection, etc.). Around the 14:00 mark, Professor Hancock discusses what the psychopath chose to focus on during the day of the murder. The psychopath I was with was a corporate pilot and flew all over the world much of while we were together (until he started stealing large sums of money from his employer and promised to kill me and the kids and dump our bodies in the mountains of the PNW if I ever told anyone what he was doing. I told his boss he was stealing money and threatening to kill us. I tell everyone now.) But what struck me as funny was that during that entire time that he was flying, rarely home, wouldn't really talk about ANYTHING that wasn't something I needed to DO FOR HIM, but the thing he would ALWAYS SEND ME was pictures of his food. When the Professor said that, my mind was flooded with 6 years of pictures of FOOD. His dinners, his midnight hotel snacks, the food on the corporate jet the crews would bring in. Did he ever talk about anything meaningful or substantial or emotional after the love bombing phase (where it actually me talking and him parroting)? No. Never. Exclusions being hatred, that I was "pure evil", or that I was a number of other derogatory words for a woman. Very interesting. I'm very much enjoying this video!

After 1,5 year this relationship stopped. I was suicidal suddenly. I completally collapsed. I was flabbergasted and did not know why i suddenly broke down completally. He also was very nice to me, but also very not nice. This 2 things i could not cope with either. To long story, but the food and beer was very important to him. No depth. Supperficial charm. No empathy. But he was also nice, so i do not get it. All was about him and his life, not mine. I will never be the same. He took something out of me. He really changed me. This never happened to me that drastically. It feels so weired and strange. I do not recognize myself anymore. I look at the miror and i do not see myself anymore.

I was abused by a senior doctor and a nurse who covered up the malfeasance with blatant cut and paste fraud that blamed me for me injury in the medical records, and included the incongruent government promotional tagline “Explore the Experience” under the state logo. I don’t know if it was a lazy effort to construct the statutory form or a more subtle expression of their confidence and amusement at their work that left me literally devastated. The logo tagline is visible almost everywhere when I step outside, no one believes that I was intentionally harmed, at least now I know that psychopaths lurk where you least expect them. The disregard for civil liberties that technology enables seems to be facilitating the amplification of problematic narcissistic behaviours, and arguably psychopathic tendencies, as does social media. Given the slander that was written within the fraud, it is very disturbing that so many ‘experts’ are allowed infallibility status, lots of room for manipulation of assessments….

@@chefEmersonWilliams Psychopathy is proving NOT to be an aberrational personality type at all, but a set of behavioural traits that most of us exhibit from time to time without much of an issue. The wealth of data we have on psychopaths, whilst extensive, is fundamentally flawed because the vast majority of subjects available to study are dysfunctionally diagnosed psychopaths, or people convicted of horribly violent crimes. Shit, we even go through a late puberty stage of psychopathy. Developmental studies show that among otherwise normal 15-25 year old males, the behavioural flag traits for psychopathy are all actively ringing the kind of bells that if somebody more mature, say from age 35 onwards was displaying, and they were picked up on by Psych Doctors or Police, they'd be involuntarily admitted to a secure psych ward for careful observation. The reason these young men aren't diagnosed as psychopaths, is that it seems we grow out of it, like a phase. But we don't grow out of it at all. We learn how to sublimate these traits into our character, and use our increased self awareness (hopefully) to assimilate our psychopathic urges into proportionately acceptable pursuits. And those who for whatever reason cannot manage to do that, are the ones we get to run clinical psychopathy tests on. But would you run the Druze test on Rabbits who were already blind?

As a scientist, I see a few questionable points in their methodology that would require more clarification. 1. It appears this was not a "double blind" study. The authors conjectured what the outcome of the study would be, and one of the co-authors (the guy on the phone) was performing the interviews and knew beforehand which of the individuals were psychopaths. Even unconsciously, this may bias the interview ("trying to find what you're looking for"). 2. The sample group is extremely small, and there were half the number of psychopaths than non-psychopaths. 3. They used automated statistical language analysis tools, which typically have a failure rate of 10-20%.

Serial killers aren't under the purview of the CIA or any other intelligence agency. Notice how he extols the wonders of collecting text messages, the problem of getting a fire-hose of messages to sift through, then catches himself and says, "Well we asked people for their last 20 messages." Yeah right you mouthbreather you went out and got consent from individuals to hand over their last 20 messages individually and that constitutes a firehose. This whole thing is sickening, don't people see what is going on? Well we gotta stop serial killers. When was the last time you heard of a serial killer? For me I think it was the early 2000s, haven't heard of them since, funny how that is ain't it? Seems like in the 80s and 90s we had one every week, and now nada. They already have the tools they need to stop serial killers. This is about devising some unpublished super secret test that tells them that you are a danger to society and that there is no hope of treatment for you long before you ever commit a crime, and it won't be serial killers, it will be dissidents they use this on.

It kind of feels like you're in a dreamlike state or that you've been possessed. I was involved with one, and this is exactly how he made me feel.

Of course, someone always brings their persona to the table, and the pills you take affect that persona. With this short but complex question you are touching on a very sensitive issue, a taboo subject, the question should be asked slightly differently, but it is an important question even if it is off topic. Effects of psychotropic drugs and their side effects is not the subject of this video lecture, but Andrea Yates comes to mind.

“Hungry like a wolf” like psychopaths talking about what they ate the day they committed murder, to distract you from the main point of responsibility. I knew a psychologist sociopath who hid under his occupation to appear as an expert helper and graduated top of his class as he frequently reminded me ad nauseum as he detracted from his gross neglect of caring for elderly parent and $50k he took from the parent as he lay dying in hospice. When facing accountibility he would launch into angry shouting word salad speech causing those around him to walk on eggs and cater to him to avoid his combustion causing a scene.

After a first marital counseling session, my then husband angrily said to me that the counselor probably thought he was a pervert. About a month went by, and I asked husband, "What is a pervert?" He responded, "A predator." Pretty telling. Unfortunately, the word he used turned out to be true of his nature and sneaky character.

Don’t know which is worse, the goal-oriented psychopathic killer going on about the hamburger they ate on the day they performed murder, or the non psychopathic killer focused on higher things like religion to only proceed to commit murders due to their complete lack of self-control, lack of consideration for someone outside of themselves, and disregard for consequences of actions. Well, at least they have the ability to feel remorse.. Also, note there were less psychopathic killers interviewed than non-psychopathic ones. I’d image these numbers reflect the actual ratio found in reality, to some extent.

I dated a psychopath for 6 years. He was a personality chameleon. Everybody liked him because he was taking on the personality of everyone he was talking to right away. He was quiet, very polite and he always knew where his read line was with everybody. He was leading a double life for a couple of years. He faked having cancer. He took unnecessary risks and didn’t learn anything. And one thing I didn’t know about psychopath is that they make you feel very sorry about them. He cried a lot at the right time. That’s how they get you. They know how empathy works even if they can’t feel it.

After years,of teaching prosocial skills to children from early childhood through the 5th grade, especially anti-bullying protocols, we were stunned to learn of peer reviewed, replicated research which showed that for children with antisocial tendencies (bullies or emergent bullies), teaching prosocial skills actually made the children better bullies. This is related to the fact that people who display antisocial tendencies don’t internalize observed emotions in others, but use those observed emotions to try to fit in and appear “normal” when engaging with others, and definitely to manipulate others.

Aren’t you in that profession that makes parents give their kids legal meth so they’ll sit still because you can’t figure out anyway to engage them? Tell me please how bullying parents to give their kids drugs is somehow not bullying. Every state in the US has international investments to fund their teachers’ retirements. Do you have any idea if the companies in your portfolio are prosocial or antisocial? I’m guessing most of them are antisocial, and technically could be regarded as serial killers. Are you aware that public school teachers are paid through a government that takes money based solely on the fact that they have guns. And yet you wanna train kids to not bully? Really? Maybe they’re just reflecting what they’re seeing in the adults around them. See, the reason the kids don’t listen to or respect you is because they have a built-in hypocrisy detector. The reason they don’t sit still for you is because they don’t trust you because you’re dissociated and they can see that. The response of your profession to their own shortcomings (“drug the kids”) *is* bullying. I for one would like to hear from people who have holistic and consistent internal moral values, not psychologists and teachers. An integrated person has both of those qualities and can also say no to authority. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that because you entered a conformist and obedience, oriented profession, you struggle with this type of higher-level integration. That’s alright. The struggle to live up to our values is part of what makes us human. My concern for you is that you probably don’t know that there are values involved in what you’re doing at all. For example, it’s fairly obvious that the public schools were used to push women into the workforce so that companies could get a two for one deal on their employee pay. If you want to fix ADHD, which is a cultural problem, you need to go back and fix that mistake. Of course, that would mean quitting your job, but then at least you wouldn’t be living off the antisocial aggression of government bullies. When I was in school being around, my teachers often felt like walking on eggshells. After knowing teachers as an adult, that now makes me wonder if they were all narcissists. Do you see what I mean? Your a basic assumptions (that normal is desirable, for example, or that opinion polls suddenly becomes scientific because a psychologist categorized the responses) are absurd and unsupportable. And somebody really needs to do a deep dive into the antisocial underpinnings of feminist-oriented, professions’ hatred of men. I’m gonna go out on another limb here and suggest that at least a couple of your students are worried about your husband. I’m just basing that observation on my memory of being a kid, but I remember it pretty vividly. That’s probably why I empathize with kids instead of desiring to boss them around and make them conform to my opinion of what an adult should be. They don’t need your eighth grade opinion of what an adult should be. How do I know that you probably have an eighth grade opinion of what an adult should be. The exact same way that you form opinions about people too. The data suggest that if your average you watch 3 to 4 hours of TV a day. The programming on television is targeted to an eighth grade audience, because that’s the average. If you watch commercial TV for 3 to 4 hours because it engages you . . . Just know that your eighth grade brain is finding it extremely compelling for a reason. Why do you think so many shootings happen at schools? For the exact same reason that killer whales go nuts when they’re in prison at Seaworld. And that’s your queue to go, “Oh, he had oppositional defiance disorder.” Because there’s a diagnosis for everything that you don’t like. Well, that’s a pretty nifty little system if you’re an authoritarian, isn’t it? So, unfortunately, the next time the kid goes into a public school to do violence, just know that they’re mirroring what they’re saying in the adults around them, and they’re probably the most influenced by the people they spend the most around of time with, which is their teachers. So, who in the world do you think they’re learning that violence and force is effective from? I would guess it’s probably from the teachers, social workers, and psychologists around them who live off the violence our government does. How can you of all people in good faith, and with a holistic sense of self, accuse others of manipulating people. Next to prisons, I can’t think of a more manipulative system than the public school system. I’m sorry to be the one to say this, but it’s most likely the reason you don’t see the contradiction between your behavior and practice is that you’ve been thoroughly propagandized to accept the contradiction is just normal. And isn’t normal psychology really the problem? After all, what is the normal state of the world? Yeah, not interested in being normal on your terms. From the root comes the fruit. Do yourself a favor and look up “the smile room” on Google then quit your job. And for God’e sake, would you please stop manufacturing schizophrenics and school shooters? (When the kids in your classroom are savvy enough to know that prescription drugs are just operationalized MK ultra, which will be general knowledge in the next few years among young kids, it’s probably time for you to retire. They’re on to you.

Generally, everyone tries to fit in and appear normal. I’ve also been both the bully and the victim in childhood, depending on the circumstances of my environment and inner growth (or lack of it). I think there are too many variables in the developmental stages of childhood to use as a determining factor in promoting pro-social behavior or not. Everyone needs social skills, even at the risk of arming potential psychopaths with camouflage. If you are teaching positive behavior in any form then you are raising the bar for all and contributing to their quality of life, regardless of who may choose to manipulate those lessons for personal gain at the expense of others. With compassion and integrity, all we may do is plant the seeds. We cannot know or control if they grow into flowers or weeds.

I listened as I’m attempting to understand my psychopathic mother who abused me on a scale only a few know. Most but not all of the same applies for a female psychopath. From my experience she’s completely absent of any empathy even for her own biological children, grooms them to be her little brainwashed soldiers to do her dirty work while destroying them in the process almost without awareness of her actions, it comes natural to her. She thrives off of exerting extreme power and control over everyone around her to use for her sadistic and selfish needs as well as material gain. The first time I ever saw my mother cry is when I was 12 years old I told her “no.” She used emotion to try to guilt me into burning down one of her rental houses for insurance fraud. Before I escaped her grasp after 33 years I would have jumped off a bridge if she would have told me to do it. They know how to distort your mind and reality.

I grew up with the same mother. Her violence physical and emotional was profound, I have DID aka multiple personalities that is not what you see on tv or movies. It's much more of an internal shift in personhood perspectives of someone who carries awareness of specific events and content is hidden from the primary host of this physical body. We are all aware of five or six incidences as they began but with the escalation of the violence fragmenting occurs and I myself have no memory whatsoever of entire acts of harm. .I think that portions of some of us in our system characters have forms of cluster b or ASPD and psychopathy. This woman even planned in the first weeks of my life to make it difficult to prove thatI existed in the first place and secondarily that it would surface in adulthood that I do not exist having no official proof I exist. It did surface, it was devastating and I would have gone to my grave not able to identify what caused what played out EXCEPT that I accidently discovered her crime when I applied for my passport. I'd had a passport s a child as a dependent so the info on me wasn't searched being a six year old. The passport HEAD person was called in to help figure out what was going on. SHE had never filed my birth certificate and intended to cause my death but each time fell short of the mark. I'd like the file charges at this point if I knew how and had the funds to hire lawyers. I've had eight-nine years of therapy to heal where possible. Good luck on your healing path.

In my line of work, I have a higher chance of encountering psychopaths. When they discuss a crime, particularly when they are caught or arrested, they will distance themselves by pauses and they will also deny knowledge in a calm way, not an emphatic way. They will also blame others for the crime that 'had' to occur. For example, the victim brings it upon themself. Everything is happening 'to them'. They will transform themselves into the victim within seconds. I think this talk should be streamlined a little more to focus on the language and communication, rather than the levels of needs, etc. He also tends to focus on murders, but the highest percentage of psychopaths in our society are those individuals that stalk, harass, commit fraud, etc, but who don't kill people. Not all are 'charming', but they will try to use charm. Psychopaths will not only focus on what they ate on a particular day of a crime, but they will also go into detail about their movements and what they wear on a particular day of the alleged crime or the day prior to the crime. They will use a lot of detail to distance themselves from the crime and to fool an investigator.

I am a radio producer and I’ve learned a lot about language just through interviewing and editing people talking. People will often repeat something minimum of 3 times before they get out the complete thought or sentence. People will start their sentence 2-3 times before they can get it out right. IE “I…I..I wanted to go…” we rephrase questions often several times before we ask what we really want. It’s very messy. I tend to wait until someone has expressed their statement at least 3 times before I use the audio, it’s usually the best and most concise by that point.

Interesting. As a radio presenter myself, I had to practise speaking 'tidily'. Eventually, by slowing down whilst expressing more complex thoughts that were difficult to put into words, I could remove most of my ums and arrs. This had the added advantage of increasing my silence. Silence is powerful on the radio ... not too much obviously. You can control the details of your speech more than you might imagine. I would not be surprised if a strongly motivated, and highly intelligent psychopath could successfully adjust their speech if this research became more well known and used widely to spot psychopaths.

I had noticed the issue about movement being used as a distractor, in dealing with my daughters father, when he would be trying to lie about a large issue. It seemed like the bigger the story/ lie he has trying to weave the more motion I would see. In dealing with my mother, she was very unlikely to BOTHER lying to ME, because I was in her power, but I do remember she was very physically active/physically agitated any time I would try to get her to explain why she had always physically hurt me, or was mentally abusive to me. (As a teenager, and young adult, I was always trying to understand why she had always been abusive toward ME ,but not my brother, I needed to understand why I was so unlovable and deserving of her abuse and hatred. I finally learned enough about psychopaths and abusers to no longer question the way she abused me...) This is interesting.

Dr, Stanton Samenow is premier in the study of psychopathic criminals. His work is used to educate those working towards becoming profilers for the FBI etc. He often has discussed the specific words and manner of communication that are used by criminals. With his decades of research done with criminals I am curious that these folks do not mention him or seem to even know of his enormous body of research. He writes regularly for Psychology Today. I am degreed in Communications and I have studied the language of the Personality Disordered for the past five years. I work in a counseling office of a college and over a period of years I have been able to identify three extremely Narcissistically Personality Disordered women by listening to their conversations, one who I reported to the FBI for fraud. All are extremely manipulative and all have committed fraud and other crimes of misrepresentation. The FBI was only notified after I had gathered enough data to enable them to have a case. Because the employee was over 72 she was forced into retirement along with her immediate supervisor within 30 of my handing over a key to a supply cabinet that held documentation proving Pell Grant fraud that spanned nearly a decade. It wasn't ethical to remove information from the office due to the Federal Privacy Act but an unused metal cabinet became a receptacle that allowed the copious gathering of many documents. Indeed the "distancing" use of words and the manipulative techniques that are regularly employed to distract, enlist unearned empathy, play the victim, cast innuendo on others, and commit character assassination were endless. It takes a different perspective to catch on to the word play. The book authored by Dr. Stanton Samenow , . "Inside the Criminal Mind" is very educational in understanding the mindset of the pathologicol narcissist. Samenow uses the word "criminal" to explain the mindset, even if the person is never convicted of a crime. Samenow states that most criminals are never caught let alone convicted.

I find serious concerns over using these methods to find psychopaths- so many factors could play a factor in why someone doesn’t speak much about family and why they speak more about food and ‘things’ that are not due to being a psychopath. Age, trends, upbringing, family circumstances, popularity or lack of popularity- someone who felt bullied in school by wealthy kids could place more importance on wealth and material things; someone who doesn’t have a strong family connection may feel sadness or hurt when speaking of family, so they learned not to.

Gladwell’s Talking to Strangers has references along the lines of this work. I wouldn’t be surprised if these researchers were cited. The most direct overlap here is specifically in the part about how much worse people are at detecting deception compared to AI. It’s fascinating. The whole book kind of messed me up, especially with there being such overwhelming evidence across well-known and unknown cases. Side notes: They weren’t exaggerating about how rare it is to interview prisoners in their work! It also unnerves me how researchers get so used to their topic that they kind of become desensitized, too, when discussing traumatic events. Kind of like how surgeons can go eat lunch right after work, I guess. Finally, back to Gladwell: The questions about application of this research in criminal justice are already seeing some general data. Someone asked an EXCELLENT question about speech disfluencies relating to dyslexia or ADHD around 22:00, I think implying that neurodiversity can be labeled as psychopathy by those who know just enough to be dangerous. Gladwell also mentions people who don’t conform to expectations in communication and end up getting convicted more often when they were only guilty of being socially awkward. I forgot what that term was called, but they don’t sync well - they don’t make eye contact or they seem nervous or guilty, or they joke or laugh at inappropriate times. Anyway, why am I writing like I talk? 🤭 Second-guessing myself: I read Blink almost immediately after so I hope I didn’t mix those books up. Also, based on how many edits I’ve made, editing history might also be a useful consideration in addition to backspacing in social media. If only I wrote like this in my work. 🤦🏽♀️

I have been dealing with narcs my whole life in my family and if one good thing came out of it is maybe that I am quite good at spotting them pretty quickly. Although it can take time to really get to know someone because they can be pretty good at hiding it. If they don't show interest in your life and talk mostly about themselves, that is one of the first signs. I mean, they may start out talking about you and your life a little bit but it doesn't last long. Also, another thing you might notice quite quickly is an inability to compromise or communicate in a cooperative way. They must feel like they are in control. That is pretty easy to see right away too. Other things that can come later on is their lack of empathy. They can fake empathy and have cognitive empathy but watch how they react to a homeless person, an animal that might need help, or an elderly person. They usually don't notice and if it comes up, they do not want to get involved. They tend to either not work or be in jobs where they can have a high status or level of control or be in the limelight or all of the above. They also lie. A lot. And if you ever question them about something that is a lie or something they did that was wrong, if they do not take responsibility or acknowledge that it even happened or gaslight you, bingo, you're probably dealing with a narc. I have just one more thing to say. Unless you are forced to deal with these people like you have to work with them or you are sharing custody of kids or something, cut them off completely. Don't feel bad about it. They don't care about you. You don't need to care about them. They will never change. And if you are forced to deal with them and you have the money, get a lawyer, esp. if financial stuff is involved or there is any kind of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. You need help dealing with this, there is no shame in it. ALL of the shame belongs on the narcissists and in fact that is what is driving most of their behavior. A deep sense of shame and inferiority that they try to cover with grandiosity. Be safe out there. Take care. W

He never had any anxiety or fear. Currently he is in prison ,studying to be an attorney.

"Currently he is in prison, studying to be an attorney." If he was an actual psychopath, then he should currently be in the graveyard, studying to become worm food. Prison is not, and never has been a deterrence for psychopaths. Shooting them to death works quite well, though. So, why did you marry him? What is it about guys with no conscience at all that makes them irresistible to women, even when the other 99% of the guys around them are not psychopaths?

Count me on the "no possible treatment" side of the controversy, at least for those with antisocial personality disorder. I have witnessed daily two psychopaths for over ten years. Over all the incidents, treated by every possible agency, they only use the knowledge gained to find a new opportunity to do damage against the people they blame--their victims.

@@thewolf14 I think at some point, like 25,000 years ago, psychopathy/sociopathy was a valuable trait in those small tribes. I mean, someone that lacks fear and gets pleasure from violence? That makes a kick ass hunter and warrior. And they would've adapted to keeping relationships with those in their tribe. Not from any real sense of community or love. It was just vital to stay alive. Today, it's pretty useless - in fact, detrimental in the damage they can do. The fact that it can be genetic, and that it causes different structures in their brains than the general population, tells the story that its a trait that's been around a long time. It just hasn't been bred out. Yet. Hopefully, as the idea and education of these conditions gets out there, people can just avoid them.

One of the issues with diagnosing female psychopaths is prejudice in psychology and psychology. Men are diagnosed, women are labeled. You can find females diagnosed with borderline personality disorder who have PTSD, psychopathy or were just pissed off when they saw some poorly educated health care provider. This is particularly true with social workers who know just enough to be dangerous. The females misdiagnose as much as the males.
@amarketing8749

Very true. The female psycopath is also rarer and is so different that it is hard for us to understand or conceptualize. Other diagnosis are made, because it is difficult for humans to see this in the female form. We don't want to think it's possible, while male psycopaths are readily accepted.

What the behaviorists did was remove ALL references to mental processes, hence the change to the DSM over time.

Fascinating details, I would love to read their published work. I have been differentiating between a sociopath and a psychopath as: sociopathy being inculcated and psychopathy being inherent. One a learned behaviour and the other a neurophysiological phenomenon. The sociopath would be, in my model, readily identified by antisocial behaviour or an overt anomie. The psychopath might have no overt behaviour that could be identified as antisocial and may be well adapted to the norms of society in that they can use those mores to achieve their goals whilst harming others and therefore not come to the attention of the authorities. Robert Hare said that, in light of his findings, he should have focused his studies on Wall Street. The serial killer engenders fear and disgust, but a psychopath in a position of power can destroy entire communities and civilizations. I hypothesize that it may be possible in the near future to identify a psychopath by means of genetics, PET scan, or other empirical means and limit their ability to pass on the trait. Using the inherent nature of psychopathy as a reason to mitigate culpability is a huge mistake because they are not ill. They simply have a trait that is detrimental to society in much the same way a wolf would have traits that would militate against keeping it in one's home. As much as it acts like a dog it is not a domesticated animal and would be harmful to you or your children--on some level you are seen as food.

The question at 44 minutes is incredibly valid. The issue I can foresee is that corporations will be actually seeking sociopathic people because they're extremely effective at managing people.
