As an Exec Coach and having worked with senior leaders my entire life, I can attest to this. Some of them are very charismatic, inspiring and charming with an ability to destroy people and cause an immense amount of trauma to people and organizations.
Agreed but if the organization promotes them and puts up with their destructive behavior maybe it deserves the damage done? It's just too bad they drag everyone else down.
Exactly! Organizations often lack the courage to remove these people from their positions or worse, protect or promote them as they may be viewed as "too valuable" to the bottom line when in fact, they are costly in the long-run. @@damienholland8103

Over the course of my 30 plus corporate career, I worked with industrial psychopaths who were promoted due to high performance but who were also ruthless, manipulative, narcissistic, etc. Many companies turn a blind eye to behaviour in favour of performance. Sad but true. 🇨🇦
That is the main problem with these people in management. They can cause a great deal of pain and suffering for employees under their continued employee. I've seen this happen all throughout my life. What is troubling is how prevalent it has become over the years. Upper managment is excepting these people as management more and more.
Oh to get to those positions they trampled over everyone and anyone to get there, most of the time. They always put profit over morals values and of course other people.. They can do horrible things and lie in your face about it and to them it's like talking about the weather.. They feel nothing for anyone else or about anything they've done to other's, but master manipulation when it benefits them. So very charming and charismatic but eventually they show you who they really are..
yes and they use all that money they get to force other people to economically depend on them and have them under their control. my dad is a crazy psychopath and that's exactly what he did to us
True And this is the vast and widespread damage they cause. They are everywhere - just as they said earlier in the video they are in every facet of life. Like my aunt from the south would say - “They ain’t all locked up”!
The fun part for the rest of us is that functioning psychopaths and sociopaths can rise to high levels and many become politicians or CEOs of large companies.
Yes, the ones who can stay organised enough to be able to climb the ladder of their chosen position. Many of them think they are way more intelligent than they actually are - usually to their detriment. Some are so low thinking and disorganised their lives are constant turmoil.
@@debralucas9519i wouldn't say "many of them" think they can are more intelligent than they actually are. I'd say that some are, but generally speaking, most are fairly clear on where they stand in terms of intelligence. Normally those who have more of the narcissistic and grandiose tendencies and characteristics of anti-social personality disorder (ASPD) are usually more prone to having a false or inflated sense of their own intelligence and intellectual ability. Also the lower IQ perons with ASPD/psychopathy, as well as those who have very high characteristics and tendancies of narcissism, usually tend to be more prone to violence and criminal behavior. Of course there are always some exceptions to this, and it's important to keep in mind that psychopathy is very much a spectrum, and that genuine ASPD psychopaths make up a very small percentage of the population.
I remember in psychology class in college. My professor asked the class which professions are usually psychopaths are in. I was the only one who raised the hand and when called I said “politicians” she did say anything and looked back in the class and asked the same question. No one raised their hands so she said the answer - CEOs. I guess she wanted the class to gasp on the answer because she said prior to asking the question “you will not believe which profession psychopaths are according to psychology.” 😂😂😂 Aside from CEOs, I’m also sticking with my answer- politicians!
Don't forget, just because they aren't engaging in direct person-to-person violence, doesn't mean they aren't actively hurting people through business practices, policy-making, manipulation, and other methods.
They are crafty and have learned how to act by watching others but they feel nothing for anyone else’s life. Ted Bundy. The only thing they feel is the rush of the hunt and the kill. They are predatory animals adept at conning people into thinking they are caring individuals.
I don’t think psychopaths can be rehabilitated because I think they are intelligent,charming and manipulative and say whatever it takes to get out of prison!
I have seen people who were excellent parents - provided love, security etc. and their kid grows up to be a not-so-good human being. I have seen bad or absent parents who have a child grow up to be a much better person than their parent. It has to be something in the brain. The Dr. In one scene described it perfectly - they are like someone who is colorblind. They are blind to emotion and empathy.
Ted bundy was apparently an alright dad. Psychopathy isn’t a diagnosis. The disorder is antisocial personality disorder. They don’t have any empathy for anything and learn it instead. It’s easy for them to put their knowledge to be perfect to a relationship.
@@dunki-dunki-dawg yes, I know about dark triad. I also believe all of us have a characteristic or two of narcissism. I know myself, upon learning about dark triad discovered when someone wrongs me, I tend to go Machiavellian. I can wait a long time - lol. I never realized there was a name for it! I find all this psychology and science so interesting. I wish I could go back in time and stay in college etc.
I have a female relative who is one. Where ever she goes, she will find a way to psychologically/emotionally damage someone she meets-like its her 'hobby'. She is scary, I,ve hid from her for years. AND -when they know that you know-then you are in more danger.
Toxic narcissists are dangerous when they know you know. They try to make your life miserable via smear campaigns and chaos. Psychopaths are a higher level of evil though. It would be frightening to have a psychopath family member. Remain your distance and stay safe. 🙌🏼🤍✨🕊️
I know someone just like this. She seems to thrive on it. She has driven away everyone who ever loved her. It is terribly sad but truthfully, she is dangerous. Definitely diabolical as far as scheming and manipulating and the lengths to which she will go.
Superficial charm is just one of the criterias of the checklist. But it is wise to question the motives of the person's charm, whether it's genuine or if he's trying to get something from you. Everyone is a bit superficial to some extent, so it's not that unusual. What you shouldn't be doing is trying to diagnose the person as a psychopath, because that's incredibly difficult and a waste of time. Even professionals struggle diagnosing psychopaths, so there's no reason to think you can do it. Just focus on self-preservation if you think the person is toxic.
Treatment only makes them worse because they can pretend to have empathy and care about people and pretend to be sensitive. Give up, it's a waste of time and money. They cannot and will not change. Ever.
Boom exactly, when I went to prison my barrister sent a psychologist to do a evaluation on how I got to this point. I knew I had to lie and deceive to play out this story like it was all the drugs blah blah blah to receive a lower sentence. Told the same to the parole board 4 and half years later. No amount of prison will rehabilitate me, that’s a fact.

I used to watch these old documentaries years ago when this channel was still called Barcroft Docs. So many of them got deleted for copyright and are now impossible to find. I wish there was a broader online library of these 1980s-early 2000s documentaries, they are fascinating. Some of my favorites were the one about British single fathers, the I Married a Maasai, the breast implant one, the gynocomastia one, the one about crossdressers in marriages, and the one about young girls with eating disorders.
There are 4 or 5 additional channels with similar content in the description of this one. I don't think they are the exact one you're looking for but there are lots of interesting docs.
My sister is a psychopath, my father and mother were both narcissists. I seem pretty well adjusted considering what I grew up in. I will say I don’t get attached very easily.. ❤
I took a sociopathy evaluation, and was surprised to learn that I'm about 3% more sociopathic than your average person. It's not a big number, but it hurt me a bit. I like to think I'm a pretty empathetic person, but apparently I'm a bit less than average. I would guess that 3% comes from trauma and being very bitter and distrusting towards people in general. When the people who matter most to you, who are supposed to keep you safe, hurt you, how could you ever be much of a people person? 😕
@@HHHKingofKings58 It's a bit like saying that to someone who is bullied by others at school that they must be the one doing it, or else that it is only imagination or justified.
What happens if you show psychopaths pictures of themselves suffering? What brain patterns are we seeing then? The same as when they look at others suffering?
@@kateashby3066 Maybe they feel angry? I just wonder if there would be any visible difference in the brain when they see themselves compared to seeing others. Don‘t know if anyone had ever tried that. Assumptions we can make a lot based on what we know, it would be interesting to look at it.
Narcissists and psychopaths are ruining society, sometimes quietly, sometimes loudly. They infiltrate social movements, the narcissists charm the crowd and the psychopaths bully the opposition. It's really an awful dance.
What? I think that is a bit of a blanket statement. Surely, these are not good signs, but I think it is impossible to outright condemn children for such behaviour. I'm aware of both children who did such things when we were kids and didn't turn out negatively at all, and also children that never did anything alarming, yet turned out pretty bad. So,I opt for a big "no" on your statement.
@SynomDroni It's true, they all turn out to be psychopaths. The ones you think turned out well are actually functional psychopaths -- most of our politicians and CEOs
Absolutely. I had a dog when living with my daughter's father 38 years ago - every time he went near her she would piss - a clear indicator that someone is NO good - the dog KNOWS. Needless to say, after my daughter was born - me,.dog and baby rolled. Lady the dog lived 14 years.
I mean, there isn't necessarily "no cure." Currently I agree we do not have a cure. But what if some day there could be an implant or something that could stimulate the right part of the brain, or gene modification that could turn on empathy?
@supernova11711 This whole video points to a genetic cause and you take away that " they don't w a n t to change . Bc they are selfish or bc their genes are defective - after seeing the video is that what u are referring to or is it their legitimate choice . Which one .
@@patriciadupree3636 Yes. Psychopathy is genetic but obviously it creates certain types of individuals. They’re quite similar in some ways and thinking their superior and flawless is across the board. It’s psychopaths in general not just this guy. It’s the same with NPD. They don’t change because they think they’re above everything and everyone and that they know everything. They don’t think they have flaws so why would they try to change anything. Before getting snippy maybe know what you’re talking about. This is like surface level when looking into these disorders.
It’s more than an inadequate answer, it’s a dangerous answer. As a child of a man with severe psychopathy, I suffered a lot of childhood abuse. Two of my siblings have severe psychopathy. My other siblings and I do not. However, if people hear my story, they get uneasy and worry I have psychopathy. Instead of finding out, they just disappear on me. I don’t hurt people. In fact, I’m kind, responsible, and accepting of others as a result of what I’ve survived. I look forward to the day when everyday people are aware enough to be able to accurately identify those who are safe from those who are coercive and violent.
If a psychopath knows not to commit a crime if there is a police officer present, they then know full well they should not commit the crime. In other words, they know full well exactly what they are doing is wrong. They CHOOSE to follow their desire to do wrong. Can't pity them when it is a choice.

There are checks and balances in psychological testing to pick out those who are faking/lying. But yeah, they can if they can figure out to get around those.
Yes, caught that, and he is right. Sad but true. Prisons in the US are businesses, privately owned companies, so even though everyone knows these counseling programs don’t work, and they especially don’t work with psychopaths and most sociopaths who are locked up, it’s good for the business to keep pushing them.
They study them to figure out what makes them tick. Eventually someone smart enough will figure it out while the psycho is still a child and prevent abuse/unaliving as that person gets older
My ex was diagnosed as a sociopath. He has narcissistic personality disorder and borderline personality disorder. The amount of dysfunction he spread was astronomical. Every person he's ever come in contact with, he has manipulated and used for his own gain. When he was diagnosed, they basically told him there was nothing they could do to help him and sent him on his way despite his insistence on harming himself and others. What became apparent in that moment is that these professionals make their money off of the people sociopaths and psycopaths take advantage of. I believe more research is needed because until we figure out these people among us without empathy or compassion, that wreak havoc on people's lives, we risk their damaging influence upon those who are most vulnerable.
but wouldn't it be amazing if this work could avoid people/children getting abused by these psychos in the first place? I think that's the aim of these researchers. It's not to help psychos cause their bad behaviour towards others doesn't bother them. It's to protect people from them before they offend.
My cousin was both born and made. She was highly abused and took that experience into her adult life and built a mannerism to attract a specific type of man , then destroys them financially and emotionally. It's as if she seeks her revenge on all men. She is extremely skilled at her game. One husband was put in prison. And she got the old family money. Truth is stranger than fiction.

My mother seeked revenge too. I realised that in my forties.
Psychopaths are very good at manipulating authority figures and law enforcement to accomplish their evil ends. Prosecutors and judges need to be aware of this.
She may likely have been a raging narcissist or sociopath. It is understood that psychopaths are capable to kill, sociopaths not but both bring immeasurable destruction to humanity in unthinkable ways.

I noticed that, too, and figured it was just more of his "charming" ways to worm himself into our trust, showing us how "reformed" he'd become because of his so-called treatment.
@Li-vc4bb because he had no empathy. I could care less for a mosquito or ant and would kill them without thought. They have purpose! An ant is very useful on our world! The lack of care of humans is their take on murder. I can't wrap my head on their psychopath lack of empathy for even their own family. 🤨
dude is comparing touching the stove to feeling empathy- brah, no, those are literally the opposite of one another. one is learning to avoid hurting yourself, the other is about not wanting to hurt others
I think he means that through various experiences you learn empathy. If you burn your hand on the stove you will then be able to have empathy when you see someone else do it or they tell you about it happening to them. You know how they feel because you went through the same. As we grow and this happens more and more we’re able to apply that to things we may not have experienced ourselves. We can imagine ourselves in similar situations and have empathy for others because of that.
@@deannehuizenga4845 Thank you very much. The reason I wanted to know is, recently the physiologic sciences are leaning toward psychopathic tendency being a learned (but not from bad parenting) construct vs a genetic defect. Thank you, your note helped.
@@lissanne9769 My understanding is that there are some 8 alleles associated with reduced empathy in humans. I’ve even read that there are some 13 alleles implicated - so I’d be interested in knowing the source claiming it’s primarily the result of nurture vs. nature. Childhood environment may serve to reinforce the worst inclinations or to direct behavior towards socially acceptable avenues - but regardless, the fundamental proclivity remains. When you speak of psychopathy being “learned,” you have to realize that children with the predisposition towards psychopathy usually grow up in a household where one of their parents is also a psychopath - namely the one they inherited the trait(s) from. To the extent that the other parent is normative, s/he opted to pursue a relationship with a disordered individual - so their capacity to identify deviant behavior and deter it wouldn’t likely be all that developed. So any theory about the environment being the root cause is necessarily complicated by these factors.
@@jenniferlynn3537 Your correct in that there is a lot we do know about psychopathic individuals. I feel that there is so much more we don't understand about this disorder. More research must and is still going on here.
Dr Hare should do a case study on my Ex. He is not a criminal but he has tendencies. He is a retired police detective with a Masters in Psychology. He is very smart - just ask him. He doesn't think behavioral norms, laws or even civility apply to him. He is a master narcissist and, in my opinion, a psychopath. He has zero compassion or empathy and he doesnt have any trouble sleeping at night after destroying someone - it doesn't matter who. Just bloody thankful, I got out alive but he cost me everything.
Hi Barbara, seven years later, I’m still healing from a narcissistic manager of 17 years. It cost me friendships, my career, my sanity. No one could help me because they thought he was just a jerk. Thank you for your post, in a nutshell, they lack empathy and basic respect for others, including the business owners I brought in. He seemed to delight in sending them inferior rock salt that would have to be sent back after it ruined their customers salt spreaders. He never got reprimanded, I did, for saying something on their behalf. He even got my $500.00 bonus check and I wasn’t allowed to bring in more business. This happened in Detroit, Michigan. I wish I knew then what I know now. But I can assure you, they are EVERYWHERE.
Some children who become sociopaths and NPD spend early years in hospital for illness. They are unable to properly form attachments to primary carers. It is a mixture however of nature and nurture. 😊

As a neuroscientist specializing in addiction I'd argue that psychopathy has a limbic system element that not only includes the amygdala & the PFC/OFC but also the nucleus accumbens (NAc) which functions in pleasure seeking & habit formation. Psychopaths often report feeling less pleasure from typically pleasant things than non-psychopaths n therefore feel the need to participate in extreme behaviors in order to feel "average/normal" pleasure/excitement. Also similar to addictive disorders psychopaths often escalate their extreme behaviors as time progesses. Gauging the extent of this deficit as well as how it escalates towards habit formation in psychopaths could definitely reveal some potential avenues for intervention.
@@chilo8187They get fewer opportunities. Youth favors many means to abuse people like strength, beauty, and young people being more gullible. I experienced a sharp escalation in the intensity of what she was trying to accomplish, after 3 years. Even though the frequency of planned abuse remained about the same.
@@hecbethyname I’m sorry you had that experience. I don’t think anecdotes are proper data, but I’m sure in some individuals the behaviour does remain the same or escalate depending on life situation.
That describes a narcissist. Psychopaths are also narcs but they’re also incapable of shame- and capable of antisocial traits- making them far worse. Of course malignant narcs are on the border
I also might add that when they're fixed on 1 person. It doesn't matter how many years it takes to achieve what they're trying to achieve. Even if that is just to make the person fearful of them. Literally they will stalk them for years
@@grizzlybear4 I think he got a plea deal to confess and avoid solitary at the Max prison and escape the death penalty. I read something along those lines but I think because of his Psychopathy score of 40/40, and it being very rare (a pure psycho) they wanted to study him and to use him for insight into the disorder, to hopefully develop a treatment.
@@elkadosh4726 I often wonder how they come to release people after their sentences have expired when they know a person has a personality disorder and have also murdered someone in cold blood.
Fantastic documentary, really insightful and informative. I never had a social upbringing and made me ponder my and my family life. I believe that people lower on the psychopathic scale can become better human beings. I'll do all i can to raise my kids better equipped with empathy and kindness. Love the older documentary styles too ✨️
You should be far more worried about narcissists- who far outnumber ASPD’s and are just as capable of violence and killing (Chris watts, Anthony Todt, and Casey Anthony are all narcs. Not psychopaths. Ps- in America 1% of the population are ASPD, and only half of those are the violent/impulsive types. So that means 1/200 people can be this^ type. Not great but farrrr from the 5-15% that are narcs!
I was married to a brilliant psychopath... probably well over 160 IQ. A brilliant mind in a psychopath is terrifying. When he meets people he wants to impress he doesn't reveal the dangerous malevolence. My ex~husband became a "respected Doctor". When a psychopath comes after you to destroy you, they will. The man with the very long face and long shoulder length hair is a perfect example of how cunning a psychopath can be, analysing himself in a way that sounds like insight. He sounds like he has been rehabilitated. I would say, there is no "happy ending" for a Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde.
I think approximate filming date and/or original release date should be stated in the title of these reposted documentaries. At minimum in the description. We need this info for context. I saw this years ago. Good documentary.
There is more information now that empaths are basically traumatized people who have learned to be hyper vigilant about people’s emotional states for survival purposes.
@@dragonfly961 I can understand that. I was raised in an abusive house hould with my alcoholic mother and her alcoholic boyfriend. And I was the youngest child.

@@SniperLogicThat doesnt make sense whatsoever. Those two are vastly different from one another. U can be neither - psycho or empath. Not everyone is either or.
one of my very good friends in highschool had a diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder, many called him a psychopath. I liked him, he said he liked us too "in the sense that it was more fun to be with us than it was to be alone" but that was kind of just his best way of expressing affection.. he had no desire to cause somebody physical harm, but he didn't have a lot of respect for rules or authority that he deemed unnecessary and acted accordingly. he did hurt our feelings sometimes and didn't really understand why we were upset, One time he even asked if I was making it up when I told him something he said hurt my feelings. But he was a good friend, a funny and smart guy, he helped me not fail trigonometry lol.
This reminds me of an article I read from a neuroscientist called, When I discovered I was a psychopath. He was doing brain studies and used his own scans and long story short that's when he discovered it. He reflected on his life in the article and when he told his wife and friends they all said that it explained a lot. He thought back about how he'd make mean jokes and what not and never understood why people got offended. They all chalked it up to him kind of having a dark humor but he wasn't extreme. Some of them are on the unemotional non dangerous side. You're very lucky!
My ex is a carbon copy of his dad and I don’t know who’s more psychopathic. Both disregard people unless an important person id around, then they grovel. I have never seen a smile, tears or laughter from either. If someone doesn’t entertain them, or fawn over them there will be trouble.
According to the guidelines of speech, I'm not allowed to articulate what I really believe should be done with these people. Which is why we are unable to remove them from society. My mother being one of them. I told her one time that she is like a skunk. She "comes in, stinks up the place and leaves." She disturbs everyone psychologically and emotionally for decades and never pays the price. It's always...poor me....I'm treated so badly....I never get what I need....no body loves me. I have estranged myself from her and am much better for it.
I found the ginger psycpath in prison’s thoughts about conscience very interesting. It made it utterly clear he hadn’t understood the concept, at all. Even if they destroy the lives of the people around them they themselves lead very sad lives, it must be totally empty and pointless to not be able to connect to other people, and to never be able to experience selfless and generous love. I pity them.
That's what I was thinking too. It was almost kind of funny - he's so far out there in terms of the human experience that he thinks he has an understanding, when in reality, he doesn't grasp the basic concept.
Some are smarter than others. Or “high functioning” I’ve seen people describe them as. Like not being in prison and being a functional person in society. I guess he’s just not as HF
@@Natibebe Probably. Also, to decribe a feeling you've never felt must be a bit like describing a colour you've never seen... (I also come to think of the early European depictions of lions, before the artists had ever seen real lions. They look weird! )
I was a victim of a few Psychopaths at work who worked alongside each other. The bullying and manipulation I endured after getting transferred left me with elevated anxiety and depression. Most people today have psychopath tendencies nowadays they have no remorse for the pain and anguish they might inflict on the other because of avarice or jealousy.
There wasn’t anyone higher up that could stop the bullying? Or at least a co-worker that wasn’t cowardly? I was never rlly bullied but some of my friends were, I just remember when I was rlly young being maybe overly emotional. As I was coming to that age of really understanding how brutally unfair the world rlly is, I’d have to leave wherever I’d been if I saw someone with a handicap or a disorder. Spent a lot of time in the hospital as I was a sickly kid and it was completely overwhelming as I def had it better than 99%, as I had two kidneys had one bitten the dust. I suffered from massive anxiety as well. Panic attacks that lead to vertigo. Nothing like being convinced your heart is going to explode as you can’t tell which way is which/have your chest feel like it’s on fire or not be able to sleep to the point your sitting up in bed, wide eyed watching dust particles as if they’re snowflakes in the wind. Unfortunately, it all lead to isolation and drugs as I just wanted to be numb as I became as mean as fear is strong. I’m sorry you had to deal with that, I can only imagine how brutal it is in middle school/high school but as an adult who just wants to get the 9-5 over with and get tf home. It must feel completely intrusive/degrading. Karma’s a MF’er tho. Those folks are usually cowards as they pile up on someone or go for someone non threatening but one day they’ll say the wrong thing to the wrong person and get their comeuppance. Just a matter of time. Hope all is well tho. Keep fighting pound for pound.
Police need to be able to recognise the charming psychopath who is acting like the "normal one" while their crying victim is often immediately determined to be the aggressor. Look at the stupid cops who believed Brian Laundrie was the.victim despite that being the opposite of what the witness who called them had reported. That mistake cost Gabby Petito her life.
I have ASPD (anti-social personality disorder) and I don't share all the same traits as others with the same condition has, but it's been a challenge to be a good, moral person in some aspects of my life. For example: I have empathy for people, but I didn't realize how it was different than others. I don't feel hate....because I have to care enough about something to hate it. If I don't love you and I don't like you....I don't care about you and can't really feel hatred for you 🤷♂️ Indifference, is more of what it feels like. As I grew up, I forced myself to have empathy for those that I don't know by, essentially, running a conscious algorithm in my brain. That helps me determine if I should be having sympathy or empathy. I don't have to do this with my family. I love them endlessly. Strangers.... 🤷♂️ ....I have to try and I wish it were embarrassing to say that, but it's not. it's just... the truth. I have to set a standard of radical honesty for myself. That is to say: no lies, even white lies. If I don't do this, I find myself lying for no reason. I used to get in trouble for lying when I had no clue why I lied in the first place. 🤦♂️ So, I have to act like a child and tell on myself. After awhile, it's easier to just not get into situations where I would have to lie than it is to lie. That makes lying more work and effort for less reward than being honest...even if it means so sudden gratification or gratification at all. I am not violent, in general, but... yeah, I could go on and on. That ☝ was me catching myself being egocentric (when my initial goal was to make it easier for others with ASPD to talk about the disorder) in real-time. 🤦♂️ The point is: we are there among you. Some of us, however, are "pro-social psychopaths" .....meaning: *we get it and it's hard, but we are actually trying to get better or at least don't want to be this way anymore. not sure how many of us there are.... but 🙋♂️ "Here!"
I have it as well. When I was in middle school, we had to take a test at the end of Sociology class and I scored higher on it. When one of our older teacher's cried in school after her mother passed away. I privately told her that her empathy was fake she started to cry even harder. I was laughing at her. My father has it. My grandfather too. My grandfather used to kill animals for a living and belittle people all the time. My father acts like your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!
@@travissaurus4336 Stopping the impulsiveness (as they are often immoral) and running empathy through an algorithm (since it's not intuitive for me. Not lying was a huge thing to over come, for me. Following laws and not taking advantage of people. Simple things. Don't get me wrong: when I say "it's hard" .....I understand that life gets much, much harder. I'm not a victim or anything. It's stopping myself from victimizing others that is, at time, a real challenge.
@@evilpandakillabzonattkoccu4879 I think at some point in our evolution being a psychopath was detrimental for our survival.

*It’s antisocial personality disorder.* Psychopath is *not* a clinical diagnosis. It’s a term used to describe antisocial personality disorder. ASPD is *not* a mental illness, it’s a character/personality disorder. People with mental illness can learn ways to cope. Individuals with ASPD cannot learn ways to have empathy. They are in many ways, very inhuman.
No one said it was a clinical diagnosis. We use it colloquially. And yes it’s classified as a mental illness because their brains are different (malfunctioned).
@@almondthefurret6818 How do you help someone who is incapable of caring about you? Human beings are the most dangerous animal, take away empathy and morals and what are you left with? How do you possibly help someone who has zero qualms with manipulating and beguiling you?
There are 4 personality disorders in the cluster B family. Psychopathy (ASPD) is one and borderline is another. I have borderline and I had enough traits by age 12 for diagnosis, but because we cannot diagnose children, my doctors just did this number: 🤷🏻♀️, so now I’m 43 and just found out this is my diagnosis- meaning I’ve suffered my entire life because they wouldn’t diagnose me at 12. Not helpful.
I’m sorry you didn’t get a diagnosis until later in your life. There is treatment that can help. Cognitive therapy and DBT shows much promise. There is much relief to be found. My sister has and she’s found so much peace.
You can change you know! You need to developed the neurological hardware in your brain. The only way you can do this is meditation. Good Luck. It takes WORK that means every single day twice a day until you receive a download which reboots your brain. There has to be some type of trauma there that stopped you developing it when you were little.. in the meantime I know I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near you. You’re too dangerous, the damage you cause people is horrendous. So just keep meditating and you’ll know when your healed. Maybe it will take weeks or maybe months but if you work at it, it will work. Dr Joe Dizpensa.
This part from the 45th minute onwards, where he starts talking about microchips for psychopaths in order to change their brains, really hit me hard. I asked myself the question, should this whole documentary be there to ultimately introduce us to the brain chip "for everyone" because it does good things!?
I saw that too. They plan things decades in advance. Just like they already started to try to convince us, bugs are a super food after they told us red meat causes cancer.
The most successful psychopaths rarely end up behind bars, but instead are overrepresented in positions of power, ie: corporation heads and politicians. POLITICAL PONEROLOGY.
@@katewoolf6059 For sure Trump is a psycho, He leaves a swath of destruction behind him, .He would score very high on Professor Robert Hare's checklist... Also, look at all of Trump's supporters I'll bet a large percent of them are also psychopaths. Birds of a feather flock together.
You appear to have met Donald Trump 😀 Actually I 'm not qualified to make that kind of judgment. I do know that his niece has described him as having NPD. She is a psychologist. I don't know if Mary considers him a psychopath or not. He opinion doesn't count for much because clinicians are NOT supposed to diagnose or treat family members.

The Psychopath Test by Jon Ronson: Wikipedia This is a good counterpoint to Dr. Hare's work. In short, the subject is still very controversial, and two things that stand out by looking it over are that there is a significant medical industry that governments rely on that has sprung up around these diagnoses and an approach to it by the global media industry that requires some caution as sociopathic itself. Do these people exist? is not the point I’d suggest, but rather how best to deal with them. Remember, we once thought burning people, but mostly women, at the stake was a way of helping them by cleansing their souls in order for them to enter heaven? Social media provides a powerful contemporary intersection of many of those same sorts of forces. Watching this through, I'm a little concerned about the lack of objectivity from the prison industry, which appears to have had a significant input into this. That context is important if we understand that there is a tendency to universalise and normalise their specific aggregated points of view.
I know somebody that is a therapist in a prison. After years of talking with prisoners trying to help them they say the ones with the sexual deviance you cannot reform or help. There is no correcting that.

Extreme trauma can definately cause major brain damage and psychopathic-like behavior. But a true psychopath is born that way. An extremely traumatized person can be treated, that person started out with natural born empathy. A psychopath simply doesn't have that to begin with. Trauma WILL make it far more likely for a psychopath to lash out in a more dangerous and damaging way. Trauma is always severly damaging.
They are doing alot of shadow banning! I see mire and more comments saying the same and it’s happening to me as well. I will be surprised if this comment shows up actually!
They aren't glorified....They are diagnosed and their brains are being studied to show how hard it is sometimes for them to not feel empathy even if they know what empathy means
My sister married a guy that had a psychopathic ex-wife. She caused so much grief for my sister that it stole the better part of the start of her marriage. His ex-wife was extremely manipulative and charming and ugly inside at the same time. She manipulated men to kill a guy for her and she got away with it. She did spend time in prison though for something eventually. It is crazy how much damage psychopaths can cause.
I have a daughter who quietly leaves a trail of emotional and psychological destruction wherever she goes. I’ve seen her once in 7 years. Happy for me I’ve learned to not respond to her manipulation. She was disappointed she couldn’t get any money, property, or response from me anymore.
The sad truth about this condition is that some industries wants and glorify these kind people. I worked in one. They’re dangerous because they see no problem in using retaliation, stalking, and verbal threats around the workplace to get what they want. Bullies and them hang around like a “moth to a flame.”if there’s one in your company, you will likely see employees being encouraged to engage in cruel acts against other employees to prove their loyalty.
Very insightful show... Having experienced the harm these people can cause first hand (and their intelligence and how most people can’t see what’s going on) I am just a bit worried about the industrial/political/medical psychopaths that hijack the micro chip implant system and use it for their agenda on healthy people building psychopath armies...
It starts with family... It ends how the family made it. you can point fingers and make intellectual definitions. But, it starts and ends with the family dynamic
I've wondered about the nature and nurture debate for years. Mainly because I had a terrific and happy childhood because I was raised by loving grandparents, while my widowed mother did her own thing, working, dating and spending time with friends. My father died when I was three, or six - depending on who asks my mother that question. I have no memory of the man, so I believe he died when I was three. When I was eleven she got married to a horrible man in a different country, whom she met while on holiday, which meant that the rest of my childhood was very unpleasant and kept me far away from all other family members. I had never really developed a connection to my mother and my stepfather made it clear that he would look only after his son, and that my mother would only look after me. He referred to me as, "Good for nothing." So he basically saw me as someone who was living in his house eating his food. I always thought that I was lucky to have had a good childhood, a good foundation for my first couple of years of life, which had made me a happy, confident little girl, because the next nineteen years or so were negative, to say the least. I survived because I read lots of books, had lots of hobbies and kept out of the way of these two, by spending a lot of time in my room. I did make a lot of decisions for my future while I was very young, such as never getting married and therefore never having children, after seeing first hand what marrying the wrong man can lead to. I never regretted this decision, it actually suits my personality. I like to be alone, since I enjoy reading, writing and working as a graphic artist. I always wondered though how I would have turned out differently if I had stayed with my grandparents instead of going away with my mother. I found out that this option had been discussed, when I came across a letter my mother had written to her then fiancé. I never thought about the father I never had because he was never spoken about, it's like he never existed. There were only two wedding photos of him, which I didn't see until I was an adult, so I never gave the fact that I didn't have a father a second thought. It wasn't until I was much older that I wondered what it would have been like if he had not died? This is also when it occurred to me that I had never met any of my father's family members, they were never part of our lives. I believe this was down to my mother not wanting to have anything to do with them. Anyway, I ended up having five dogs in my life, all of them Bouviers. All five dogs had many of the same characteristics in common, but each one had their very own personality. I treated all five dogs the same way, especially the last three, who lived in my house with me over the next thirty years. I noticed that each puppy, I got them each individually at eight weeks old, already had certain behaviors. For example Levi at eight weeks did not like to have his collar removed at night and put back on in the morning. He liked it to just stay on or stay off. He is seven years old now but still hates to have his collar touched. Thinking back I realized that whatever my dogs liked or disliked when they were puppies stayed with them throughout their adult years. You can train a dog to sit, lie down, etc., but some things will stick with them for life. I had my dogs for about ten and a half years each, until they died. I spent a lot of time with them because I worked from home, so I was very close to each dog and learned a lot about them. I started to wonder if the first eight weeks of their lives with the breeders I got them from, had already shaped their likes and dislikes and possibly their personalities. Noah for example was raised by a breeder who kept the puppies separated from their mothers, except for feeding times, in a fenced in enclosure. When I got him home it was obvious that he had never been in a house before because he was scared of everything, furniture, stairs, the TV, etc. He was even scared to go outside for a walk for the first couple of weeks. I also had to earn his trust. Levi came from a different breeder, where he was with his mother and siblings in a house and he wasn't scared of anything. He was lively, social, friendly, loving and cuddly when we went to pick him up and he is still that way to this day. Elsa was dropped off at my house on a rainy Saturday morning by Noah's breeder, but the puppies were from a breeder who had just separated from his wife and he was no longer able to take care of them. She was in a cage in the back of a truck with two of her brothers, also in cages on either side of her. She looked depressed after a very long trip the night before. I took her inside. Noah was still alive at the time and when she saw him she perked up. I fed her and the three of us got in my bed to rest. All three of us fell asleep and when we woke up we went for a walk around the block. During the walk we ran into a fellow dog owner who bent over to pet Elsa who backed away because she was terrified of him. Over the next ten and a half years Elsa backed away from any man who went to touch her. She was the best dog ever though with me, she loved cats and kittens and was an incredible watchdog. I believe that like dogs, humans to a certain extent, are what happens to us during our childhoods, it shapes us in many ways, but that just like dogs we already have our personality traits baked in. So someone who had loving parents will still end up becoming a murderer. I suppose you can learn to change some of the traits your childhood instilled in you, you might be lucky to marry someone who makes you a better person, but you could also end up with someone who has had a terrible upbringing as well and together you will be that couple that nobody wants to have around. My cousin and I often joke about the dysfunctional family we have come from, she being the daughter of my mother's brother, who according to my cousin was no picnic as a father. So the same grandparents who loved and doted on me, raised a son and daughter who both went on to be terrible parents. Both of their children moved as far away from them as possible as soon as they could, in my Uncle's case when he was 19. I'll never forget talking to my mother over lunch one day at my house, when she told me that she had always hated her parents. I was shocked. It turns out that my stepfather had grown up hating his mother, he mentioned this fact quite often. She died when she was quite young, on the other hand he adored his father. It's a wonder that any of us function at all on any level.
"As you like it", "All the worlds a stage" Shakespeare, and Jung would say he's putting on his "persona". "The aspect of someones character that is presented to and perceived by others." First guy says they can see the change. NOO they see what you can so expertly portray! HA! lets see, charming, manipulative, conning, etc, etc.
I’m pretty sure psychopaths have less grey matter in the areas of their brain that produce empathy. Their actual brain is not right, or else they would be treatable. They can feel some other emotions, but not normal human emotions. I’ve been researching into psychopathy recently, it’s alarming but fascinating. How people are the way they are is so complex.
I got into psychology because I could see that the current treatment paradigm based on cognitive behavioral therapy is ineffective. Behavior is based on how one thinks and if you just teach people to behave in a way that nets them benefits without changing what they are thinking then all you are doing is providing an extra tool for subterfuge. I think there is a lot of correlation between addictive thinking and psychopathy. Just like psychopaths very few addicts are helped,but some are. Honestly, I just think the behaviorists have had their day and a new empirical analysis needs to be developed.
Having grown up with a psychopathic or sociopathic father, these guys could not snow me. I have a huge respect for psychiatry and psychology, but neither can replicate being raised by a psychopath. I don't know how he scored on this scale but being raised by him gave us hypersensitive radar for BS and manipulative behavior.
As an Exec Coach and having worked with senior leaders my entire life, I can attest to this. Some of them are very charismatic, inspiring and charming with an ability to destroy people and cause an immense amount of trauma to people and organizations.
Agreed but if the organization promotes them and puts up with their destructive behavior maybe it deserves the damage done? It's just too bad they drag everyone else down.
Exactly! Organizations often lack the courage to remove these people from their positions or worse, protect or promote them as they may be viewed as "too valuable" to the bottom line when in fact, they are costly in the long-run. @@damienholland8103

@@VestalNumbrestick with your meds
Over the course of my 30 plus corporate career, I worked with industrial psychopaths who were promoted due to high performance but who were also ruthless, manipulative, narcissistic, etc. Many companies turn a blind eye to behaviour in favour of performance. Sad but true. 🇨🇦
That is the main problem with these people in management. They can cause a great deal of pain and suffering for employees under their continued employee. I've seen this happen all throughout my life. What is troubling is how prevalent it has become over the years. Upper managment is excepting these people as management more and more.
Oh to get to those positions they trampled over everyone and anyone to get there, most of the time. They always put profit over morals values and of course other people.. They can do horrible things and lie in your face about it and to them it's like talking about the weather.. They feel nothing for anyone else or about anything they've done to other's, but master manipulation when it benefits them. So very charming and charismatic but eventually they show you who they really are..
yes and they use all that money they get to force other people to economically depend on them and have them under their control. my dad is a crazy psychopath and that's exactly what he did to us
True
And this is the vast and widespread damage they cause. They are everywhere - just as they said earlier in the video they are in every facet of life.
Like my aunt from the south would say -
“They ain’t all locked up”!
Absolutely 100.% truer than true.
The fun part for the rest of us is that functioning psychopaths and sociopaths can rise to high levels and many become politicians or CEOs of large companies.
or "elite"
Yes, the ones who can stay organised enough to be able to climb the ladder of their chosen position. Many of them think they are way more intelligent than they actually are - usually to their detriment. Some are so low thinking and disorganised their lives are constant turmoil.
@@debralucas9519i wouldn't say "many of them" think they can are more intelligent than they actually are. I'd say that some are, but generally speaking, most are fairly clear on where they stand in terms of intelligence. Normally those who have more of the narcissistic and grandiose tendencies and characteristics of anti-social personality disorder (ASPD) are usually more prone to having a false or inflated sense of their own intelligence and intellectual ability. Also the lower IQ perons with ASPD/psychopathy, as well as those who have very high characteristics and tendancies of narcissism, usually tend to be more prone to violence and criminal behavior. Of course there are always some exceptions to this, and it's important to keep in mind that psychopathy is very much a spectrum, and that genuine ASPD psychopaths make up a very small percentage of the population.
I remember in psychology class in college. My professor asked the class which professions are usually psychopaths are in. I was the only one who raised the hand and when called I said “politicians” she did say anything and looked back in the class and asked the same question. No one raised their hands so she said the answer - CEOs. I guess she wanted the class to gasp on the answer because she said prior to asking the question “you will not believe which profession psychopaths are according to psychology.” 😂😂😂
Aside from CEOs, I’m also sticking with my answer- politicians!
One in particular comes to mind !
Don't forget, just because they aren't engaging in direct person-to-person violence, doesn't mean they aren't actively hurting people through business practices, policy-making, manipulation, and other methods.
Eg, Trump

If you look in a pschpaths eyes long enough they get uncomfortable. I think this is because they know some if us can spot them.

I have seen people who were excellent parents - provided love, security etc. and their kid grows up to be a not-so-good human being. I have seen bad or absent parents who have a child grow up to be a much better person than their parent. It has to be something in the brain. The Dr. In one scene described it perfectly - they are like someone who is colorblind. They are blind to emotion and empathy.
Have you read about the Dark Triad? It shows there are many factors in determining how a human can develop
Ted bundy was apparently an alright dad. Psychopathy isn’t a diagnosis. The disorder is antisocial personality disorder. They don’t have any empathy for anything and learn it instead. It’s easy for them to put their knowledge to be perfect to a relationship.

I have a female relative who is one. Where ever she goes, she will find a way to psychologically/emotionally damage someone she meets-like its her 'hobby'. She is scary, I,ve hid from her for years. AND -when they know that you know-then you are in more danger.

My thoughts exactly ! These people are masters of manipulation and preying in vulnerable people.
Superficial charm is just one of the criterias of the checklist.
But it is wise to question the motives of the person's charm, whether it's genuine or if he's trying to get something from you.
Everyone is a bit superficial to some extent, so it's not that unusual.
What you shouldn't be doing is trying to diagnose the person as a psychopath, because that's incredibly difficult and a waste of time.
Even professionals struggle diagnosing psychopaths, so there's no reason to think you can do it.
Just focus on self-preservation if you think the person is toxic.
Like Jim Jones?
@@GamesCooky do you know how to diagnose someone?
Treatment only makes them worse because they can pretend to have empathy and care about people and pretend to be sensitive. Give up, it's a waste of time and money. They cannot and will not change. Ever.

Boom exactly, when I went to prison my barrister sent a psychologist to do a evaluation on how I got to this point.

I used to watch these old documentaries years ago when this channel was still called Barcroft Docs. So many of them got deleted for copyright and are now impossible to find.
I wish there was a broader online library of these 1980s-early 2000s documentaries, they are fascinating. Some of my favorites were the one about British single fathers, the I Married a Maasai, the breast implant one, the gynocomastia one, the one about crossdressers in marriages, and the one about young girls with eating disorders.
I remember when that was the name of the channel! I wish there were more documentaries like that available today. They really stuck with me.
They may be available at your local library. Might be worth checking out (no pun intended).
I looked for the Chanel and it's gone

I took a sociopathy evaluation, and was surprised to learn that I'm about 3% more sociopathic than your average person. It's not a big number, but it hurt me a bit. I like to think I'm a pretty empathetic person, but apparently I'm a bit less than average. I would guess that 3% comes from trauma and being very bitter and distrusting towards people in general. When the people who matter most to you, who are supposed to keep you safe, hurt you, how could you ever be much of a people person? 😕

Psychopathy is a spectrum just like autism. The issue is that behavioral science isn’t advanced enough to understand the human mind.
They don’t feel fear or sadness so…
Maybe the same as they see other's? Or maybe even laughing? 🤔
@@kateashby3066 Maybe they feel angry? I just wonder if there would be any visible difference in the brain when they see themselves compared to seeing others. Don‘t know if anyone had ever tried that. Assumptions we can make a lot based on what we know, it would be interesting to look at it.

Children abusing and destroying animals is a sign of psychopathy.

I'm aware of both children who did such things when we were kids and didn't turn out negatively at all, and also children that never did anything alarming, yet turned out pretty bad. So,I opt for a big "no" on your statement.

Psychopaths don't believe they're damaged. Empathy and kindness are a waste of time.

@@patriciadupree3636 Yes. Psychopathy is genetic but obviously it creates certain types of individuals. They’re quite similar in some ways and thinking their superior and flawless is across the board. It’s psychopaths in general not just this guy.
It’s the same with NPD. They don’t change because they think they’re above everything and everyone and that they know everything. They don’t think they have flaws so why would they try to change anything.
Before getting snippy maybe know what you’re talking about. This is like surface level when looking into these disorders.
It’s more than an inadequate answer, it’s a dangerous answer. As a child of a man with severe psychopathy, I suffered a lot of childhood abuse. Two of my siblings have severe psychopathy. My other siblings and I do not.
However, if people hear my story, they get uneasy and worry I have psychopathy. Instead of finding out, they just disappear on me.
I don’t hurt people. In fact, I’m kind, responsible, and accepting of others as a result of what I’ve survived.
I look forward to the day when everyday people are aware enough to be able to accurately identify those who are safe from those who are coercive and violent.
If you relocate and do not talk about your family you would be better off.
If a psychopath knows not to commit a crime if there is a police officer present, they then know full well they should not commit the crime.
In other words, they know full well exactly what they are doing is wrong. They CHOOSE to follow their desire to do wrong.
Can't pity them when it is a choice.

Yes, if the individual is smart enough.
There are checks and balances in psychological testing to pick out those who are faking/lying. But yeah, they can if they can figure out to get around those.
Yes if their IQ is high enough. Being very intelligent and a psychopath is a bad combo
Yes, most definitely they can.
@@rinbailey1503 this is why someone not educated in giving these psychological tests should armchair diagnose others or definitely themselves.
No matter what you do, they just can’t be “rehabilitated.”
Agreed. They typically don't see their behavior as problematic since they get what they want and don't care what it costs others, literally.
Idk if that's fully true but definitely don't be credulous. People think Jeffrey Dahmer became an angel in prison and I don't buy it at all.
In that case maybe the old-fashioned lobotomy or totally drugged up the rest of their lives.
That part when the guy walks by and says "this programs a sham"...
Yes, caught that, and he is right. Sad but true. Prisons in the US are businesses, privately owned companies, so even though everyone knows these counseling programs don’t work, and they especially don’t work with psychopaths and most sociopaths who are locked up, it’s good for the business to keep pushing them.
Money and time should be spent on these abused children NOT these perverts!
They study them to figure out what makes them tick. Eventually someone smart enough will figure it out while the psycho is still a child and prevent abuse/unaliving as that person gets older
Unfortunately sometimes they become the same people.
My ex was diagnosed as a sociopath. He has narcissistic personality disorder and borderline personality disorder. The amount of dysfunction he spread was astronomical. Every person he's ever come in contact with, he has manipulated and used for his own gain. When he was diagnosed, they basically told him there was nothing they could do to help him and sent him on his way despite his insistence on harming himself and others. What became apparent in that moment is that these professionals make their money off of the people sociopaths and psycopaths take advantage of.
I believe more research is needed because until we figure out these people among us without empathy or compassion, that wreak havoc on people's lives, we risk their damaging influence upon those who are most vulnerable.
but wouldn't it be amazing if this work could avoid people/children getting abused by these psychos in the first place? I think that's the aim of these researchers. It's not to help psychos cause their bad behaviour towards others doesn't bother them. It's to protect people from them before they offend.
My cousin was both born and made. She was highly abused and took that experience into her adult life and built a mannerism to attract a specific type of man , then destroys them financially and emotionally. It's as if she seeks her revenge on all men. She is extremely skilled at her game. One husband was put in prison. And she got the old family money. Truth is stranger than fiction.
My mother seeked revenge too. I realised that in my forties.
Psychopaths are very good at manipulating authority figures and law enforcement to accomplish their evil ends. Prosecutors and judges need to be aware of this.

The most bizare thing about Wayne is that he casually recounted his crimes with no sense of shame.
I noticed that, too, and figured it was just more of his "charming" ways to worm himself into our trust, showing us how "reformed" he'd become because of his so-called treatment.
@Li-vc4bb because he had no empathy. I could care less for a mosquito or ant and would kill them without thought. They have purpose! An ant is very useful on our world!
The lack of care of humans is their take on murder. I can't wrap my head on their psychopath lack of empathy for even their own family. 🤨
dude is comparing touching the stove to feeling empathy- brah, no, those are literally the opposite of one another. one is learning to avoid hurting yourself, the other is about not wanting to hurt others
Yeah I noticed that too. Very not the same thing.
He’s literally incapable of empathy. Comparing it to having consequences is the closest he is capable of understanding the concept.
I think he means that through various experiences you learn empathy.
If you burn your hand on the stove you will then be able to have empathy when you see someone else do it or they tell you about it happening to them. You know how they feel because you went through the same.
As we grow and this happens more and more we’re able to apply that to things we may not have experienced ourselves. We can imagine ourselves in similar situations and have empathy for others because of that.
If you can't feel empathy for yours,you also can't learn to empathize with other people either.You can't pour from an empty cup

Thank you very much. The reason I wanted to know is, recently the physiologic sciences are leaning toward psychopathic tendency being a learned (but not from bad parenting) construct vs a genetic defect. Thank you, your note helped.
@@lissanne9769 Yes. Me, as well
@@lissanne9769 My understanding is that there are some 8 alleles associated with reduced empathy in humans. I’ve even read that there are some 13 alleles implicated - so I’d be interested in knowing the source claiming it’s primarily the result of nurture vs. nature.
Childhood environment may serve to reinforce the worst inclinations or to direct behavior towards socially acceptable avenues - but regardless, the fundamental proclivity remains. When you speak of psychopathy being “learned,” you have to realize that children with the predisposition towards psychopathy usually grow up in a household where one of their parents is also a psychopath - namely the one they inherited the trait(s) from. To the extent that the other parent is normative, s/he opted to pursue a relationship with a disordered individual - so their capacity to identify deviant behavior and deter it wouldn’t likely be all that developed.
So any theory about the environment being the root cause is necessarily complicated by these factors.

As a neuroscientist specializing in addiction I'd argue that psychopathy has a limbic system element that not only includes the amygdala & the PFC/OFC but also the nucleus accumbens (NAc) which functions in pleasure seeking & habit formation. Psychopaths often report feeling less pleasure from typically pleasant things than non-psychopaths n therefore feel the need to participate in extreme behaviors in order to feel "average/normal" pleasure/excitement. Also similar to addictive disorders psychopaths often escalate their extreme behaviors as time progesses. Gauging the extent of this deficit as well as how it escalates towards habit formation in psychopaths could definitely reveal some potential avenues for intervention.
I thought psychopaths actually decrease antisocial behaviour with age though.
Supposedly. But, Narcissism usually grows worse. I imagine it's an across the board thing with the Dark Tetrad.

A brilliant mind in a psychopath is terrifying.
When he meets people he wants to impress he doesn't reveal the dangerous malevolence.

When a psychopath comes after you to destroy you, they will.

He sounds like he has been rehabilitated.
I would say, there is no "happy ending" for a Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde.
I think approximate filming date and/or original release date should be stated in the title of these reposted documentaries. At minimum in the description.
We need this info for context. I saw this years ago. Good documentary.
Especially because there were so many advances in neuroscience and we now can comprehend better how psychopathy is ‘born’
I would think so they could look at the activity in both brains and see how they respond to emotional stimuli, but I'm only guessing.
If you can determine if someone is a psychopath using brain scans I wonder if you can find if someone is an empath using the same method.
I think if psychopathy doesn’t show on scan the person falls into the empath spectrum automatically.

There is more information now that empaths are basically traumatized people who have learned to be hyper vigilant about people’s emotional states for survival purposes.

@@SniperLogicThat doesnt make sense whatsoever. Those two are vastly different from one another. U can be neither - psycho or empath. Not everyone is either or.
one of my very good friends in highschool had a diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder, many called him a psychopath. I liked him, he said he liked us too "in the sense that it was more fun to be with us than it was to be alone" but that was kind of just his best way of expressing affection.. he had no desire to cause somebody physical harm, but he didn't have a lot of respect for rules or authority that he deemed unnecessary and acted accordingly. he did hurt our feelings sometimes and didn't really understand why we were upset, One time he even asked if I was making it up when I told him something he said hurt my feelings. But he was a good friend, a funny and smart guy, he helped me not fail trigonometry lol.
This reminds me of an article I read from a neuroscientist called, When I discovered I was a psychopath. He was doing brain studies and used his own scans and long story short that's when he discovered it. He reflected on his life in the article and when he told his wife and friends they all said that it explained a lot. He thought back about how he'd make mean jokes and what not and never understood why people got offended. They all chalked it up to him kind of having a dark humor but he wasn't extreme. Some of them are on the unemotional non dangerous side. You're very lucky!
My ex is a carbon copy of his dad and I don’t know who’s more psychopathic. Both disregard people unless an important person id around, then they grovel. I have never seen a smile, tears or laughter from either. If someone doesn’t entertain them, or fawn over them there will be trouble.
According to the guidelines of speech, I'm not allowed to articulate what I really believe should be done with these people. Which is why we are unable to remove them from society. My mother being one of them. I told her one time that she is like a skunk. She "comes in, stinks up the place and leaves." She disturbs everyone psychologically and emotionally for decades and never pays the price. It's always...poor me....I'm treated so badly....I never get what I need....no body loves me. I have estranged myself from her and am much better for it.
Sounds like she is a malignant narcissist but may not be a psychopath. True psychopaths have no real emotional life.
I found the ginger psycpath in prison’s thoughts about conscience very interesting. It made it utterly clear he hadn’t understood the concept, at all.
Even if they destroy the lives of the people around them they themselves lead very sad lives, it must be totally empty and pointless to not be able to connect to other people, and to never be able to experience selfless and generous love.

Psychopaths at work who worked alongside each other. The bullying and manipulation I endured after getting transferred left me with elevated anxiety and depression. Most people today have psychopath tendencies nowadays they have no remorse for the pain and anguish they might inflict on the other because of avarice or jealousy.
There wasn’t anyone higher up that could stop the bullying? Or at least a co-worker that wasn’t cowardly? I was never rlly bullied but some of my friends were, I just remember when I was rlly young being maybe overly emotional. As I was coming to that age of really understanding how brutally unfair the world rlly is, I’d have to leave wherever I’d been if I saw someone with a handicap or a disorder. Spent a lot of time in the hospital as I was a sickly kid and it was completely overwhelming as I def had it better than 99%, as I had two kidneys had one bitten the dust. I suffered from massive anxiety as well. Panic attacks that lead to vertigo. Nothing like being convinced your heart is going to explode as you can’t tell which way is which/have your chest feel like it’s on fire or not be able to sleep to the point your sitting up in bed, wide eyed watching dust particles as if they’re snowflakes in the wind. Unfortunately, it all lead to isolation and drugs as I just wanted to be numb as I became as mean as fear is strong. I’m sorry you had to deal with that, I can only imagine how brutal it is in middle school/high school but as an adult who just wants to get the 9-5 over with and get tf home. It must feel completely intrusive/degrading. Karma’s a MF’er tho. Those folks are usually cowards as they pile up on someone or go for someone non threatening but one day they’ll say the wrong thing to the wrong person and get their comeuppance. Just a matter of time. Hope all is well tho. Keep fighting pound for pound.

I have ASPD (anti-social personality disorder) and I don't share all the same traits as others with the same condition has, but it's been a challenge to be a good, moral person in some aspects of my life.
For example: I have empathy for people, but I didn't realize how it was different than others. I don't feel hate....because I have to care enough about something to hate it. If I don't love you and I don't like you....I don't care about you and can't really feel hatred for you 🤷♂️ Indifference, is more of what it feels like. As I grew up, I forced myself to have empathy for those that I don't know by, essentially, running a conscious algorithm in my brain. That helps me determine if I should be having sympathy or empathy. I don't have to do this with my family. I love them endlessly. Strangers.... 🤷♂️ ....I have to try and I wish it were embarrassing to say that, but it's not. it's just... the truth.
I have to set a standard of radical honesty for myself. That is to say: no lies, even white lies. If I don't do this, I find myself lying for no reason. I used to get in trouble for lying when I had no clue why I lied in the first place. 🤦♂️ So, I have to act like a child and tell on myself. After awhile, it's easier to just not get into situations where I would have to lie than it is to lie. That makes lying more work and effort for less reward than being honest...even if it means so sudden gratification or gratification at all.
I am not violent, in general, but... yeah, I could go on and on.
That ☝ was me catching myself being egocentric (when my initial goal was to make it easier for others with ASPD to talk about the disorder) in real-time. 🤦♂️
The point is: we are there among you. Some of us, however, are "pro-social psychopaths" .....meaning: *we get it and it's hard, but we are actually trying to get better or at least don't want to be this way anymore. not sure how many of us there are.... but 🙋♂️ "Here!"
I have it as well. When I was in middle school, we had to take a test at the end of Sociology class and I scored higher on it. When one of our older teacher's cried in school after her mother passed away. I privately told her that her empathy was fake she started to cry even harder. I was laughing at her. My father has it. My grandfather too. My grandfather used to kill animals for a living and belittle people all the time. My father acts like your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!

The Psychopath Test by Jon Ronson: Wikipedia
This is a good counterpoint to Dr. Hare's work. In short, the subject is still very controversial, and two things that stand out by looking it over are that there is a significant medical industry that governments rely on that has sprung up around these diagnoses and an approach to it by the global media industry that requires some caution as sociopathic itself. Do these people exist? is not the point I’d suggest, but rather how best to deal with them. Remember, we once thought burning people, but mostly women, at the stake was a way of helping them by cleansing their souls in order for them to enter heaven?
Social media provides a powerful contemporary intersection of many of those same sorts of forces.
Watching this through, I'm a little concerned about the lack of objectivity from the prison industry, which appears to have had a significant input into this. That context is important if we understand that there is a tendency to universalise and normalise their specific aggregated points of view.
I know somebody that is a therapist in a prison. After years of talking with prisoners trying to help them they say the ones with the sexual deviance you cannot reform or help. There is no correcting that.

Extreme trauma can definately cause major brain damage and psychopathic-like behavior. But a true psychopath is born that way. An extremely traumatized person can be treated, that person started out with natural born empathy. A psychopath simply doesn't have that to begin with. Trauma WILL make it far more likely for a psychopath to lash out in a more dangerous and damaging way. Trauma is always severly damaging.

My sister married a guy that had a psychopathic ex-wife. She caused so much grief for my sister that it stole the better part of the start of her marriage. His ex-wife was extremely manipulative and charming and ugly inside at the same time. She manipulated men to kill a guy for her and she got away with it. She did spend time in prison though for something eventually. It is crazy how much damage psychopaths can cause.
I'm sorry. But I wrote facts
Love the older documentaries.
I have met a few in my life, scary stuff
Me too.
Same
Even scarier is that lots of people think they haven't. it's 1/100 people. We've all met them.
children abusers should never get a chance to get out. ever. end of story
Not just children
I have a daughter who quietly leaves a trail of emotional and psychological destruction wherever she goes. I’ve seen her once in 7 years. Happy for me I’ve learned to not respond to her manipulation. She was disappointed she couldn’t get any money, property, or response from me anymore.
The best material I’ve seen on the topic
FBI lady: most of the people we deal with are psychopaths...
yeah, and half of them are in uniform lol
Dude looks like Howard Stern, the Psychopathic Version Anyway.
The sad truth about this condition is that some industries wants and glorify these kind people. I worked in one. They’re dangerous because they see no problem in using retaliation, stalking, and verbal threats around the workplace to get what they want. Bullies and them hang around like a “moth to a flame.”if there’s one in your company, you will likely see employees being encouraged to engage in cruel acts against other employees to prove their loyalty.
Very insightful show... Having experienced the harm these people can cause first hand (and their intelligence and how most people can’t see what’s going on) I am just a bit worried about the industrial/political/medical psychopaths that hijack the micro chip implant system and use it for their agenda on healthy people building psychopath armies...
this is a brilliant film. these researchers have given so much . they are also ethical ! thank you
I'm dying to know what's with Wayne now, couldn't find anything about him, i guess it will remain mystery forever(
Who's Wayne?
@@jturtle5318The curly haired weirdo in the video.
What disturbed me the most about this crime. Is the sheriffs indifference to Naomis brother taking fast action about his missing sister. Rip Naomi
It starts with family... It ends how the family made it. you can point fingers and make intellectual definitions. But, it starts and ends with the family dynamic
I've wondered about the nature and nurture debate for years. Mainly because I had a terrific and happy childhood because I was raised by loving grandparents, while my widowed mother did her own thing, working, dating and spending time with friends. My father died when I was three, or six - depending on who asks my mother that question. I have no memory of the man, so I believe he died when I was three. When I was eleven she got married to a horrible man in a different country, whom she met while on holiday, which meant that the rest of my childhood was very unpleasant and kept me far away from all other family members. I had never really developed a connection to my mother and my stepfather made it clear that he would look only after his son, and that my mother would only look after me. He referred to me as, "Good for nothing." So he basically saw me as someone who was living in his house eating his food. I always thought that I was lucky to have had a good childhood, a good foundation for my first couple of years of life, which had made me a happy, confident little girl, because the next nineteen years or so were negative, to say the least. I survived because I read lots of books, had lots of hobbies and kept out of the way of these two, by spending a lot of time in my room. I did make a lot of decisions for my future while I was very young, such as never getting married and therefore never having children, after seeing first hand what marrying the wrong man can lead to. I never regretted this decision, it actually suits my personality. I like to be alone, since I enjoy reading, writing and working as a graphic artist. I always wondered though how I would have turned out differently if I had stayed with my grandparents instead of going away with my mother. I found out that this option had been discussed, when I came across a letter my mother had written to her then fiancé. I never thought about the father I never had because he was never spoken about, it's like he never existed. There were only two wedding photos of him, which I didn't see until I was an adult, so I never gave the fact that I didn't have a father a second thought. It wasn't until I was much older that I wondered what it would have been like if he had not died? This is also when it occurred to me that I had never met any of my father's family members, they were never part of our lives. I believe this was down to my mother not wanting to have anything to do with them.
Anyway, I ended up having five dogs in my life, all of them Bouviers. All five dogs had many of the same characteristics in common, but each one had their very own personality. I treated all five dogs the same way, especially the last three, who lived in my house with me over the next thirty years. I noticed that each puppy, I got them each individually at eight weeks old, already had certain behaviors. For example Levi at eight weeks did not like to have his collar removed at night and put back on in the morning. He liked it to just stay on or stay off. He is seven years old now but still hates to have his collar touched. Thinking back I realized that whatever my dogs liked or disliked when they were puppies stayed with them throughout their adult years. You can train a dog to sit, lie down, etc., but some things will stick with them for life. I had my dogs for about ten and a half years each, until they died. I spent a lot of time with them because I worked from home, so I was very close to each dog and learned a lot about them. I started to wonder if the first eight weeks of their lives with the breeders I got them from, had already shaped their likes and dislikes and possibly their personalities. Noah for example was raised by a breeder who kept the puppies separated from their mothers, except for feeding times, in a fenced in enclosure. When I got him home it was obvious that he had never been in a house before because he was scared of everything, furniture, stairs, the TV, etc. He was even scared to go outside for a walk for the first couple of weeks. I also had to earn his trust. Levi came from a different breeder, where he was with his mother and siblings in a house and he wasn't scared of anything. He was lively, social, friendly, loving and cuddly when we went to pick him up and he is still that way to this day. Elsa was dropped off at my house on a rainy Saturday morning by Noah's breeder, but the puppies were from a breeder who had just separated from his wife and he was no longer able to take care of them. She was in a cage in the back of a truck with two of her brothers, also in cages on either side of her. She looked depressed after a very long trip the night before. I took her inside. Noah was still alive at the time and when she saw him she perked up. I fed her and the three of us got in my bed to rest. All three of us fell asleep and when we woke up we went for a walk around the block. During the walk we ran into a fellow dog owner who bent over to pet Elsa who backed away because she was terrified of him. Over the next ten and a half years Elsa backed away from any man who went to touch her. She was the best dog ever though with me, she loved cats and kittens and was an incredible watchdog. I believe that like dogs, humans to a certain extent, are what happens to us during our childhoods, it shapes us in many ways, but that just like dogs we already have our personality traits baked in. So someone who had loving parents will still end up becoming a murderer. I suppose you can learn to change some of the traits your childhood instilled in you, you might be lucky to marry someone who makes you a better person, but you could also end up with someone who has had a terrible upbringing as well and together you will be that couple that nobody wants to have around. My cousin and I often joke about the dysfunctional family we have come from, she being the daughter of my mother's brother, who according to my cousin was no picnic as a father. So the same grandparents who loved and doted on me, raised a son and daughter who both went on to be terrible parents. Both of their children moved as far away from them as possible as soon as they could, in my Uncle's case when he was 19. I'll never forget talking to my mother over lunch one day at my house, when she told me that she had always hated her parents. I was shocked. It turns out that my stepfather had grown up hating his mother, he mentioned this fact quite often. She died when she was quite young, on the other hand he adored his father. It's a wonder that any of us function at all on any level.
"As you like it", "All the worlds a stage" Shakespeare, and Jung would say he's putting on his "persona". "The aspect of someones character that is presented to and perceived by others." First guy says they can see the change. NOO they see what you can so expertly portray! HA! lets see, charming, manipulative, conning, etc, etc.
I’m pretty sure psychopaths have less grey matter in the areas of their brain that produce empathy. Their actual brain is not right, or else they would be treatable.
They can feel some other emotions, but not normal human emotions.
I’ve been researching into psychopathy recently, it’s alarming but fascinating. How people are the way they are is so complex.
I got into psychology because I could see that the current treatment paradigm based on cognitive behavioral therapy is ineffective. Behavior is based on how one thinks and if you just teach people to behave in a way that nets them benefits without changing what they are thinking then all you are doing is providing an extra tool for subterfuge. I think there is a lot of correlation between addictive thinking and psychopathy. Just like psychopaths very few addicts are helped,but some are. Honestly, I just think the behaviorists have had their day and a new empirical analysis needs to be developed.
Having grown up with a psychopathic or sociopathic father, these guys could not snow me. I have a huge respect for psychiatry and psychology, but neither can replicate being raised by a psychopath. I don't know how he scored on this scale but being raised by him gave us hypersensitive radar for BS and manipulative behavior.
So Wayne is basically the real life sideshow Bob 😂
That's what I thought...oopssss
Hysterical 😂
His English is very good and the way he speaks is also good. I could listen to him speak all day.
