I can certainly understand why a ...Dear Anonymous,<br /><br />I can certainly understand why a sociopath would be reluctant to go into therapy in the traditional sense, but what I am proposing here is different from therapy in that its purpose is not to help the patient "get better." Sociopaths, by and large (from the research I have done), don't improve. They are what they are, and that's that. <br /><br />Perhaps you are referring to the tendency of sociopaths to do, well, bad things. Yes, that is true. But there are lots of different kinds of bad things. Some sociopaths kill hookers. Some steal cable. There is a spectrum. Obviously, I would not expect the hooker killers to go within a ten mile radius of a therapist's office. But a therapist is only required by law to report you if he knows you are about to do harm to yourself or others. So don't tell him. Problem solved.<br /><br />As to "arrogant and self-serving,"...well, maybe. I was responding to a complaint that "very little has been written about what it feels like...to be a sociopath," but I would like to know more. And if I am arrogant and self-serving, wouldn't that put me in good company here?<br /><br />Yours truly,<br /><br />InterestedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-37546953352723635352012-06-30T22:48:52.753-07:002012-06-30T22:48:52.753-07:00I ask you, why, would a sociopath jump at the chan...I ask you, why, would a sociopath jump at the chance<br />to go into therapy or to be interviewed by a professional?

I have been looking t...Dear author of this blog, <br /><br />I have been looking through your posts (admittedly not very thoroughly) trying to find out whether or not you have been diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder. You claim that the majority of psychological literature focuses on the victim rather than the sociopath. I would have to agree, but it's not for lack of trying on the part of the psychologists. The problem with writing about ASPD is that the only way to gain insight into the experience of being a sociopath is to talk to a sociopath. You can imagine how many sociopaths are jumping up and down to talk about their feelings for hours on end. Most of the literature, therefore, comes from sociopaths who have been placed (read: forced) into therapy and see it as a waste of time, and spend a good deal of time lying to/manipulating the therapist. There are some therapists who won't even work with ASPD's, and with good reason, I think. It's not a web you want to get caught in.<br /><br />You claim, however, to keep this blog because "it is a good way for me personally to keep track of who I am and where I am going. It forces me to confront myself on an almost daily basis." If you are a) actually afflicted with ASPD and b) truly a navel-gazing sociopath, why not approach a psychologist who specializes in ASPD and say, "Hey, look. I have no empathy and enjoy others' pain. Seems like I might be a sociopath. I'd like to know more about myself. You'd like to know more about what it's like to be me. Let's explore this, shall we?" Could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship, if you are capable of that kind of thing.<br /><br />I'm not sure that this idea would even work, to be honest, but it seems like it's worth a try. I'm not a doctor, I'm not a sociopath, just someone who has taken a couple of courses and is interested in the subject. I would imagine that any researcher would jump at the chance to interview a sociopath who actually wanted to be interviewed and was willing to give honest answers. Because the question we all really want to ask, and no one seems to have an answer to--not Shakespeare's Iago, not the Green River Killer--is why? Have you always been this way, or did something happen that changed you fundamentally? I would also be interested in your take on David Foster Wallace's "Brief Interview with Hideous Men," (the book, NOT the film!) in particular, the final interview in which the subject recounts an anecdote told to him about an encounter with a psychopath. Granted, it's fiction, but a very interesting take on what makes a sociopath.<br /><br />http://www.radiolab.org/2012/jan/09/why-be-bad/<br /><br /><br /><br />--InterestedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-12377580287811005582009-11-25T14:28:15.870-08:002009-11-25T14:28:15.870-08:00I just wanted to ask for an opinion.

People can smell you from a mile away, and the quality of your posts has been degrading steadily.<br /><br />When you stopped tearing into people so much, it was really a mixed blessing. I was disappointed that I wouldn't get to read such viscerally amazing flames, but the shit was really starting to get old.<br /><br />The problem is that your posts have no substance. The conversations people here are usually filled with unique thoughts and views, and sometimes even some valuable insight. You were unfortunately detracting from that--with stale material none-the-less.<br /><br />If you want to flame me, be my guest. It's nothing anybody hasn't read before, and if it suits you, please, go right ahead and keep nipping at my heels while everyone gets bored and waits for some new material.<br /><br />Alternatively, you could join in the discussions and give us some of your own opinions... perhaps more than one liners. Nobody here is going to tear into you like you do to everyone else. I think I speak for everyone when I say I'd love to hear your thoughts, not just some dumbed-down opinion, about some of the things M.E. talks about.
