Psychopath myths

From Scientific American, author of the book "50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology," Scott Lilienfeld, discusses some myths and misconceptions about psychopaths. Some of the highlights:
  • Few disorders are as misunderstood as is psychopathic personality.
  • Research also suggests that a sizable number of psychopaths may be walking among us in everyday life. Some investigators have even speculated that “successful psychopaths”—those who attain prominent positions in society—may be overrepresented in certain occupations, such as politics, business and entertainment. Yet the scientific evidence for this intriguing conjecture is preliminary.
  • Psychopathy seems to be present in both Western and non-Western cultures, including those that have had minimal exposure to media portrayals of the condition.
Here are the myths:
  1. All psychopaths are violent. Research by psychologists such as Randall T. Salekin, now at the University of Alabama, indicates that psychopathy is a risk factor for future physical and sexual violence. Moreover, at least some serial killers—for example, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy and Dennis Rader, the infamous “BTK” (Bind, Torture, Kill) murderer—have manifested numerous psychopathic traits, including superficial charm and a profound absence of guilt and empathy. Nevertheless, most psychopaths are not violent, and most violent people are not psychopaths. . . . Regrettably, the current (fourth, revised) edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR), published in 2000, only reinforces the confusion between psychopathy and violence. It describes a condition termed antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), which is characterized by a longstanding history of criminal and often physically aggressive behavior, referring to it as synonymous with psychopathy. Yet research demonstrates that measures of psychopathy and ASPD overlap only moderately.
  2. All psychopaths are psychotic. In contrast to people with psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia, who often lose contact with reality, psychopaths are almost always rational.
  3. Psychopathy is untreatable. . . . Although psychopaths are often unmotivated to seek treatment, research by psychologist Jennifer Skeem of the University of California, Irvine, and her colleagues suggests that psychopaths may benefit as much as nonpsychopaths from psychological treatment. Even if the core personality traits of psychopaths are exceedingly difficult to change, their criminal behaviors may prove more amenable to treatment.

  1. I think treating psychopaths would be a great challenge. I always thought it was a form of ignorance when they dismissed the illness as being incurable. It reminded me a lot of racism, or other prejudices.

    the question for the day is-

    what is the difference between the psychopath and the sociopath? is there a difference? the internet does not provide clear answer

    sometimes i hear there is a difference sometimes i hear they are the same thing sometimes that there are no such things only aspd

    A psychopath is a person who displays traits of ASPD, but they are also grandiose, impulsive, extremely callous and emotionally shallow.

    A person with ASPD is almost always in trouble with the law and they can hold loyalty to a group/family.

  4. sociopaths are cowards, bullies. they are sneaky fucks. i'm an idealist with strong sentiments and there are two probable sociopaths where i live. months back, i was walking my girlfriend home to her apartment. there was a group of guys on the other side of the road and one of them (the sociopath) threw a vodka bottle our way, missing my girlfriends head by an inch. and he began laughing and insulting me and my girlfriend.

    all his friends were high fiving the coward and he was shouting at me to come over, only because his buddies were there. (i'm wayy bigger than him lol) the funny thing is he is so quiet and friendly when he has no backup!

    so is the sociopath synonym for the psychopath? or the aspd? or something else?

    ReplyDelete
  6. @Michael

    I'm not sure on specifics like dates, but from what I understand, psychopathy, sociopathy, and ASPD all refer to the same thing. Originally the disorder was called psychopathy, but the negative connotation throughout society got out of control so when they updated the DSM, they changed the term (and possibly some of the criteria) to become sociopathy. When the same thing happened with that new term, they changed it to ASPD. The connotations and uses are different because of that, and honestly I'm not sure about how much the criteria has changed as understanding of the disorder has deepened, but the terms have all been describing roughly the same thing, and technically both the term "sociopathy" and the term "psychopathy" are outdated.

    the other day i was watching the tv show criminal minds from the tv there was two criminals there the fbi cops said the other 1 was the psychopath and the other the sociopath they said there was a difference but the difference was very small

    so i tried to observe the characters to learn what the difference was and to me it seemed like the psychopath was the more dominating more in control of the two

  12. I was thinking about the unique traits of the sociopath and how some of them are outright better, more adapted to life. I have a lot of anxiety, guilt and regret. My sociopath g/f has little. I care for outside approval, while she does not, very much.
    However, I am more adapted, as a whole, because I have all the pieces, albeit not in the healthiest ways possible, by any stretch of the imagination.

  17. Psychopaths are almost always rational?????

    Wonder what M.E. was thinking when she said that. Impulsive and rational don't go hand in hand. Success at the significant cost to others is not sensible, shows no capacity to reason. Masks are only to come down one day, where is the reason?

    rational |ˈra sh ənl; ˈra sh nəl|
    adjective
    1 based on or in accordance with reason or logic : I'm sure there's a perfectly rational explanation.
    • (of a person) able to think clearly, sensibly, and logically : Andrea's upset—she's not being very rational.
    See note at sensible .
    • endowed with the capacity to reason : man is a rational being.

  19. Sceli, you're an idiot. You seriously need to shut your pie hole.

    You can't throw around a dictionary without context, especially when what is "logical" or "rational" is defined by the perspective of the Psychopath. Don't even bother trying to refute that. It would be a voluntary act of intellectual suicide.

  39. I do think these myths sound rather idealized.

    Treating psycopathy would not be traditional 'treatment' I don't think. You can not instill a sense of empathy in someone when it is lacking. What you can do is attempt to modify a persons behavior to be socially acceptable. For this you can increase their awareness of the discrepencies they display between how they act and what is appropriate for a situation.

    The difficulty in any of this is that lack of motivation. It's doubtful that most psychopaths notice or consider anything wrong with their behavior if they're non violent and aren't getting into some kind of trouble for how they act. It's hard to know there is something abnormal about how you respond to the world when your personal responses are all you know.

  45. Themes, you seem to understand me, at least much better than most in SW. I am aware I am different from majority that's for sure. If for nothing else I often get that 'you think very differently,' 'I don't understand you,' type of comments often. I just walk the talk and keep walking, no time to worry about these people, no time to spend my time talking to them, just like in the song. I don't look back.

    The way I see it is I am both one with all and completely separate at the same time. I have no sense of masking in me, apart from basic social graces. When I see a mask I call people on it. So, those with heavy masking hate me if they sense that I don't respect who they are. Yeah, respect probably is more the word for me than love. Those who don't get me the most are the ones who'd do a lot in the name of love. I know who I am and like it the way it is so I don't bend easily just in the name of love. Watched an Ayn Rand bio, her family sounded like mine, plus her early aptitude success. The difference is she reacted against communism so much so that she fell for pure communism. I'd never. I also never had a desire to learn how to use people, but this may change. While I said I had no desire this possibly means I never consciously attempted to use anybody.

    I have frustrated every socio who took a shot at me, that's for sure. I still do, and really enjoy that.

The way I am with so much go getting in me and focus I apparently neglected them and that drove them nuts. None of that was intentional, meaning I had no idea all that was need for attention. Things are going much better now.

    These ladies are quite independent in many ways, certainly not my dollies, but I am steadily growing to like them.

  54. Wow, sceli you really think you are something special. People don't like you, because you are a confused idiot not because 'you think very differently' or because nobody can understand you, special snowflake. You've spent most of your time describing yourself on here to people, like a narcissist. I am this and I am that. It's a bunch of pulp, because days later you are changing it all. You haven't unmasked anybody here or said anything profound. Get over yourself.

  55. Sceli, I can tell. It seems as you are determined to shit on every sociopath here in revenge.

    "I have frustrated every socio who took a shot at me, that's for sure. I still do, and really enjoy that."

    ReplyDelete

  56. zhawq,

    thank you, I appreciate your response. Strangely enough, despite the fact that I see them beautiful I also share your notion that I still am better, and upping others theoretically, and practically gives me an amazing high. It's as if I want them to approach only to prove I can be better with my very quick learning.

    I have to say, I am slowly getting scared of my own self, that I may have lived with a socio self for all those years and never really knew. It's like a coming out party.

    Once I accept that I went by a few strict moral codes, such as 'don't lie' and 'don't attack unless attacked' the rest of me is a high functioning socio with a score of 21 in the narcissist test we did the other day.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Sweet, one definition for happiness is defined as exercising your powers. I really enjoyed using them on the socio I dated. Caught a few lies and then instead of reacting immediately started gaming. He was worth the time, he was a great fuck. Let him go with a big bang at the end.

    When I ran into him ten years later he asked if I were still breaking hearts. My point is his revenge was already taken on him.

    None of my other exes ever said anything like that. My exes other than that guy are all still friends/acquaintances. All get what they deserve in life.

    I am not interested in revenge from Shrek, Fiona, TNP, etc. I actually have a crush on a socio here but can't tell.

    I am more interested in learning to love the beepers. By the way, I told before my dad in my mind is a socio, and I always loved him, I still do. He is not a criminal socio, and that means a lot to me. He has hurt the beepers in the family, yet they love him too.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I don't think anyone can unmask anyone here, except really loser situations like the two you ran across. First I was impressed first but then i realized some people basically think everybody is a loser, so lost interest. But did learn some good indications of what losers are like.

    I only try to contribute if I feel I have a thought, or get some fighting once in a while, but that fighting is so tedious and boring. The only serious value it has for me is basically exercising fighting power. Shooting range activity.

    Attention, no, not much interested, so time to walk.

    Thanks, Themes.

  62. That's a direct quote from you Sceli, not a fake. Want the link? It's the first comment you ever made when you came to sociopathworld. How can it be a fake sceli if there was no sceli before that. Don't run now. We are unmasking people remember? Here's one about your family you made in october, just so you know I wasn't throwing around fluff yesterday snowflake:

    My early life is far too good a girl, unfucking believable how I took everyone's word as honest and very seriously, and made sure I don't add any shit to the plate. Because my siblings were adding shit to the table and causing major fights between mom and dad, occasionally leading to some beating. Pretty much dad beat the crap out of all of them more than once (and pretty much frequency in correlation with intelligence). I did not get a single beating, stayed above his fucking expectations

    -Sceli

  63. That was dumb, UKan. Try quoting Sceli if you are going to quote Sceli.

    You quoted something by 'socio o no'.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Just read Sceli in April in detail. I'll think more about that.

    Goodness, I am the house Dexter, then? Isn't that lovely? Not being cynical, possible.

    Only some questions. I love animals, I mean from lizard to elephants. ALways had pets, slept cheek to cheek. Take trips to some friends, honestly just to see their dogs. So, that's not fitting exactly.

    I said no to medical field because I just could not be around people's pain from sickness and death. Too hurtful. But I had no problem once attending a cut-person when I saw no one else doing anything.

    I am all open to socio diagnosis, no problem, but I violate too many of the items in there.

    That was a cheap cop out don't get excited. She had to find some other reason to be here, just like she is interested in beepers LMAO

    ReplyDelete

  68. these years i assumed my not wanting to hurt people had to do with my caring and empathy. it could be coming from a subconscious fear of getting caught, my mother is a chicken shit, so are all her side of the family. so, she is the type who does pathetical lying, but she fits narc more than socio.

    my dad always appeared so nice to others who were in position of power while being very demeaning towards the weak and very demanding at home. i was the only one who was not scared or abused because i was always above his expectations. can't say the same about the rest in the family, they all got abused significantly.

    mom had a very pleasant personality (in her mask) towards people, yet she has no problem saying occasionally that she does not like people. i'll be darn, i sure am raised by socio/narc combinations, and because my mom kept bitching about my dad all the time i thought i learned to care for the weak. but, i really did not.

    in some psychological tests they ask you where you'll be sitting at a table and they put different kinds of people around the table. I never sat next to a sick person in those and never would knowingly in real life.

    People who don't embrace change and learning also offend me, I feel they are as good as dead. Even the dead changes, but in a way he has no control. So, I don't want to associate with nonaware, noncurious, and change-refusing people.

    I am thinking of going after my parents, in the sense that giving them who they are in slow doses, forcing them to accept who they are. They sure fucked up my siblings (younger ones), the youngest is unaware thinking mother is the only one who cares in the family. Mother is power hungry, so started brown nosing me lately, fearing about her later years I suppose. I did tell at some point last year indeed one never knows who will be left behind to take care of them. Instilling subtle fears is the best way to control her

    kesu, i agree with you that I have had fears. but, getting rid of fears has been my life long goal. first it was the fear of flying, got rid of that completely. then came the dentist, got rid of that completely too. then it was waxing. got rid of that too. public speaking got eliminated as well. now it is collateral damage. i will eliminate that fear, that's what I am working on. when i was having the panic attacks i was also functional, actually I was able to breathe easily, it was more like my pulse was way above my normal and I did have chest pain plus a need to burp (sorry, a bit too much info). But, the whole time I was very calm and controlled and simply trying to think through how to completely stop it. Did some of the roll eyes to the top then close your eyes hypnosis relaxation, made my breathing a touch deeper and enjoyed a pleasant drink. The length of the attacks were steadily shorter. I have no such panic attack when I am under attack or threat. It is after the win that I have the above mentioned symptoms. When I lose (happened twice last year) my symptoms change to more of a fire ball, heat rising up my neck to my ears, stiffening back and sheer anger rolling all over my body. Even that I managed to ease up over time. It is important to me to eliminate all emotions around fear and anger. So you don't see a sociopath in me. Do you see a narcissist?

  89. Medusa weren't you just telling me that my quote from Sceli was wrong? Was that your beef? Or are you already moving on from that now that you looked like a complete fool?

    ReplyDelete
  90. Of course I use my computer, dumbass. I'm working while I post, although a good portion of the time my business takes care of itself.

    What a stupid argument. It's just more pathetic that you expend the extra effort typing your text blocks of shit on a phone.

    I own my own business. Do you? I'm my own boss. Are you? I answer to no one. How about you? There is no chance of my job ever landing me in prison. How about you?

    ReplyDelete

  91. Like a 5 year old that can't handle criticism

    Wouldn't that be the description for someone who was slighted almost a week ago and has attacked the person fruitlessly for a week, medusa? Here you are once again jumping into someone elses arguement and looking like a idiot. Hey yesterday I saw even Tik is behind you. Truth, Tik, and Ami have all changed their minds about you Medusa. Do you wonder why that is? Congratulations. You have now defected completely to the Sowing Circle. You are the hero of the victim brigade.

    ReplyDelete
  92. For instance, why would frustrating sociopaths make you feel good about yourself unless you had some deep seeded wound with one? If it was just to fight for fights sake, you wouldn't get an emotional pay off like that.

    It seems like you are overcoming fears or emotional scars here, thus making you not a sociopath.

    ReplyDelete
  93. That was to Sceli. When I fight, just to fight, I do it for fun and not gold star for myself.

  95. How was I slighted? I don't recall being slighted. Enlighten me.

    Funny you think I care who is or is not supporting me. It just tells me that it is important to you.

    And who exactly is behind you, besides your wife?

    ReplyDelete
  96. Running your own business is making music nobody listens to? Last I checked medusa that's called unemployed not self employed. Go get a job, then come back to me and tell me how to spend my time. I don't have roomates. I have my own place and it's nice. I earned it. Don't look at me like I made the fucked up decision.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Dumbshit, you know I have a business that is separate from music.

    'making music nobody listens to'

    Lol. You are a fool.

    ReplyDelete
  98. I don't want people behind me, medusa. That's why when you see someone like jason trying to suck my cock I start insulting them as well. I came here alone and attacked everybody that was here and everyone who came in. Nobody here can say I didn't fire shots at them. I don't need to piggy back arguements and look desperately for support from my enemies like you. That's weakness. If I think something about someone I come out and say it.

    Comparison:
    When my wife asked if you had a problem with her you denied it multiple times and then turned around and said you did have a problem when she cornered you. That is pretty pathetic. It disappointed me.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Now let's go back to your original arguement medusa, because isn't that your pretext today to start yet another fight from you being slighted a week ago? You were saying about, Socio O No not being Sceli...Please continue. Or was this just another made up arguement behind something else?

    ReplyDelete
  100. You have quite the imagination, UKan. You just make up shit and warp reality into what you want and I wonder if you even know you are doing it.

    Bullshit that almost sounds like it's true, and may fool some people who aren't paying close enough attention.

    But it's really not a good idea to try to fool someone smarter than you.

  101. sweet, fighting to win is not a novice concept, along with winning giving people a high. applies to any fight, from sports to business to personal. Is that what you were referring to as bullshit?

    ReplyDelete
  102. Sceli if you're interested in beepers come play with me. I've got surplus info over by the swingset.

    ReplyDelete
  103. OK medusa. Are you going to back that statement or are you just throwing out stuff there in general?

    I'm not sure where you are trying to go with this. You came on here very sure I was concocting stuff about Sceli to discredit her. Right? Isn't that what we are talking about, because I don't want to get off the subject YOU brought up. If you are just going to scatter shot topics then go talk to yourself, because I don't move just because you are.

    Here's the quote:
    "(Sceli for you, socio o no for the records)"
    Here's the link:
    Sceli Debute

    Now either refute that or go out there and get fucked, because you need it.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Sceli the point is you need it here daily and then boast about it, openly. I think your boasts are bullshit in them self.

    You give your opinion here on every conversation you were not included in, drop your shit bombs, run off and then brag and poke again. Are you not desperately trying to prove to everyone how great you are? Then you ask if you are a socio LOL Apparently, you need some validation.

    You are not fighting for fun, you can say so but it is obvious that you are not.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Yes, you have proven your point. Sceli is 'socio or no'.

    That's not really what this is about. I'm more curious about your timing, effort expenditure and motivation.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Thank you, Haven. I will, too bad running really busy today.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Oh, now I get it, sweet. I act in a detached fashion, like in the song. And, that's bullshit to you? Meaning, I give myself the right to say what I want and when I want it is bullshit. So, detached learning is bullshit in your mind. Yet, I actually felt some learning from listening to you and the others, and was accordingly pleased. Thank you for the clarification.

    ReplyDelete
  108. "making music nobody listens to"

    Can you say emotionally shallow?

    ReplyDelete
  109. I need some new learning daily, and yes, SW provides me with some because people here are way outside the kinds of people who are in my professional circles, while being psychologically similar and without their masks. The learning I get from SW is priceless for my needs.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Medusa, those are hilarious statements coming from you.
    Why pull out scelli's info now... because she's being an arrogant bitch. That's why we pulled out her info then but as you may recall, she ended up just being an inconsequential narcissist.
    So why jump on the scelli defense? Even sweet remembers, and by the way, sweet, your completely right on. She came on at Halloween to "attack" people and dish out an offensive, and then she ran off, came back and conceded. She does the same thing at work when she gets panic attacks. And you're defending her why? She's more of a dumb bitch than I am.
    So why are we doing this Medusa? And you don't think its getting annoying yet that you have to disagree with everything we say to watch yourself be proven wrong? Where did all that intelligence go? Why don't you finally tell us what this whole passive aggressive game is really about, so we can stop this stupid bullocks cycle.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Sceli get ooff of your moral high ground. No ones buying it but Medusa, but this argument isn't about you any more than the rape argument is about not me, so don't flatter your pretty little head with defenses and statements. We won't bother reading them.

    ReplyDelete
  112. You keep dodging Sceli.

    What kind of detached person gives a retard a hug because he asked lets him lick off their plate.? You considered him and his feelings or needs. Or you needed a hug.

    I am just answering your question. You are not a sociopath. I think you don't know who you are and that is why you are here.

  117. I'm not the only one here attacking Sceli, medusa, and this isn't my first time. If you want to talk about timing yours is a lot more suspicious. Especially since this is the fifth time you have picked an arguement that you have later said you never believed in in a matter of days. So now that you look like an idiot for being wrong yet again I want to know..How long will you continue this? My wife must have really got under your skin.

  120. Gasp, sceli, you see me how? Oh my gosh, I had no idea. Il have to reevaluate everything that I think about my life now because people who value laws like sceli see me as someone who takes blood money from dope fiends or users.
    Sceli, have you ever done drugs? Do you know someone who has? What's the difference between them giving us money from their children's college fund, and us taking it to establish our family?

    Ah, so you do care about having support behind you. And the 'inconsequential' and 'weak' Sweetcheeks at that, according to you.

    Sceli has always been arrogant and confused. You are only going after her now for a barely related reason.

    My wife must have really got under your skin.

    Yeah? Is that why you guys keep fighting me back and responding?

    When do you guys get time for sex?

  129. ::shrug:: I'm not sure why Sweets is reacting this way. I thought you guys got on alright. Maybe she thinks it'll win approval from the socio crowd that praises outing everyone they look down on. Maybe she doesn't want to be today's target. Maybe she's bored.

    Frankly I don't know Sweets that well so I couldn't tell you for sure. Your best bet is to ask her and hope she gives you an honest answer.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Lol!
    You think scar face is a good example of blood money drug dealers?
    He did absolutely everything wrong, and is a reflection of the culture within the Mexican gangs, and what they believe fundamentally. The entire movie is about fast money, and dying for being an idiot. Tell me what he did right? That must be a convenient subject for you though, as he acts in that movie as a reflection of evil, and everyone knows evil always parishes.
    Tell me what tthe Mexican gangs are doing right, right now? Abolishing the police, though they were corrupt, killing citizens, taking over cities, not giving to their people? They're on an equally fast life that will inevitably lead to destruction. Have you been reading about Los zetas, sceli? That's another fun topic for me. Why don't we talk about evil as being a vvanquish able force?
    Right after Medusa tells us why she started this whole thing.

  141. sweet, your explanation at 11:26 mentions only me. what about you is making you act like this, that is my question. the reason I am curious is maybe there is some applicability to beepers in general, which is of interest to me. like you said, nothing personal.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Sceli, you're going to get off on attacking sweet? You're putting her down to try to distract from the fact that she is spot on about you. I remember it well, don't you?
    "Jeepers im feeling feisty, il throw myself to the mercy of the wolves. What do you think of me kanney? What, you think I'm a narcissist bitch? Oh, well, special for you. Just because i was too smart to get beaten and I'm too special to listen to you doesn't mean I'm a narcissist. Well, I'm off. When i come back tomorrow we'll be the best of friends and il concede all the insults I'd saved up against you"

  148. Quit pretending I haven't answered that question directly already several times. You seem to be the only one who doesn't know.

    Well you keep carrying the pretense that these little exchanges are about Sceli or Soulful, or rape so why not act confused Medusa? You have this vague bollocks reason "She's overbearing" just like with the luke thing you said it was because "He's annoying me." In reality on the luke thing it was because you thought I took your credit. Now with this Kanny thing it's because she asked about you touchy little past. Touchy, indeed. I've never seen you like this. She got you WAY out of character to the point where you sound like the other victims on here so much that they now relate to you. So let's play along. Let's pretend like all of that isn't true, medusa, just for you. We will pretend that all of your petty arguements you are starting are because you actually believe in them. Where does that leave you: Looking like a complete fool.

    ReplyDelete
  149. Yeah, I know. I told scelli. She did the same thing today she did when she started this on Halloween, and it brought about the same response. So where did this start, Medusa? Any idiot can see you're only disagreeing with everything I say on principal, so what is this whole thing really about?

    I walk the talk. I am no more attacking any beepers. I don't see them possibly saying something like 'the more the blood better.'

    with no children: Haven and Notme
    with children: Eden, and Sweet.

  156. Anon the motivations behind an attack are generally different. Socios are generally more self-aware in their manipulation and attack. They'll approach it like a game and with purpose (correct me if I'm wrong).

    Borderlines are manipulative by nature but not necessarily intentionally. We may lash out and explode, but it's not usually a planned event after we've targeted someone.
