I'm not saying you can do whatever you want. I'm just saying I can't control myself and if you don't. I don't like it, that's your problem, oh, can you validate my parking? No, we all like to think that people get worse over time, but

psychopath

s have been with us from the beginning. I mean, according to the Bible, the third human murdered the fourth human in history and we were off to the races Theophrastus was one of Aristotle's students and may be one of the first people in history to actually talk about psychopaths, whom he called the unscrupulous because they are simply unscrupulous daggum, some examples of psychopaths in Literature over the years include Medea from Greek mythology King jr. and the book of 1001 nights Richard III and Titus Andronicus by Shakespeare Alex a great and A Clockwork Orange and Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs psychopathy comes from the words psyche and pathy psyche meaning the soul of the mind and pathy meaning Psychopaths are basically people without any conscience or empathy.

It was first described in a psychiatric setting by one of the founding fathers of psychiatry, Philippe Pinel, he called it mania without a doubt and described people with this as having certain behavioral deficits, such as antisocial acts. deliberately cruel, irresponsible and immoral drug and alcohol abuse and believed that the difference between these people and the rest of society was that they suffered from what he called an absence of confusion in the in

tell

ect, but the word psychopath came from the German psychiatrist Jael, a Coca Cola. In 1888 he called it psycho pastiche and believed that it was a person's constitution at birth that created this condition, but by the early 20th century the word psychopathy was used to describe anyone with any type of shyness or insecure behavior.

He was kind. It was a placeholder term for anyone who wasn't completely normal, sort of like the word hysteria applied to almost anything women did, but the term psychopathy was codified a little further in 1941 with the book The Mask of Sanity. Dr. Harvey quickly, the mask in the title refers to the projection of normality that psychopaths can put out. It's kind of a seminal book on the subject and it was based on a wide variety of studies on psychopaths that have been around the world for fifty years. It is still considered one of the most influential works on the subject, but he was the first person who really liked setting up a test to determine whether or not

someone

was a psychopath by Dr.

Robert Hare in 1980. He is known as the Hare by professionals and includes 20 different personality traits that can indicate whether

someone

is a psychopath or not and in case you are wondering what they are and know if you want to check it out and make sure. are you okay or anyone you know here is here is the list here here are the 20 I'm going to let them do their thing and if you're looking at that list and you're like oh my gosh that's my boyfriend and that's my boyfriend and that's my boyfriend , come out girl, come out.

By the way, there is also an extra interesting finding about psychopaths, they like bitter tasting foods. In a study published in the journal Apatite in 2016, researchers were able to show that the date participants confirm the hypothesis that preferences for bitter taste. bitter taste are positively associated with malevolent personality traits with the strongest relationship with everyday sadism and psychopathy; was the strongest overall predictor compared to other taste preferences and participants who didn't like the bitter taste tended to be more agreeable and cooperative and understanding, yes, all those people who drink kale smoothies are psychopaths and are believed to They prefer bitter tastes because they have this need for stimulation, something that is prevalent among psychopaths is that their senses and their emotions are dulled, so they are always seeking stronger and stronger stimuli and risking risky behavior and all that, and let's be real. , or as exciting as hurting other people, so what exactly causes someone to be a psychopath?

There has now been some research that suggests that there is reduced brain activity in certain parts of the body. brain have to do with emotions and decision making like in the amygdala which I covered in a recent video, this means they showed less activity and blood flow in those brain regions when they were shown images of distressed people or when they had to face the consequences of their actions, but this opens up a question because we know about neuroplasticity in our brain, we know that our behaviors and our thinking patterns can change the way our brains are formed, so is the way our brains that makes us psychopaths or it is the fact that we are psychopaths that changes the structure of our brain, so one way to answer is to look at identical twins and adopted children and those studies seem to suggest that psychotic behavior and patterns Non-emotional thinking patterns actually have a genetic component - those genes have more influence on someone than antisocial behavior itself, but when it comes to adopted children, those genes seem to be able to be counteracted by environmental and parental influences, as well as by some recent research from Vanderbilt.

The university seems to suggest that psychopaths are programmed to seek rewards at any cost, as if they have an overreactive dopamine system that may be amplifying their behaviors. By the way, you may be wondering what the difference is between a psychopath and a sociopath. Both are considered antisocial personality disorders, but there are some small differences. Associated paths ignore the laws of society, morals, orders and values, etc., and have purely selfish interests, but they do not go out with the intention of hurting others, they just want to do what pleases them. a psychopath completely ignores humanity intentionally chooses to hurt others deliberately makes plans to use others that satisfy his personal goals and to them people are nothing more than simple objects a simple way of looking at it as a sociopath is basically unrestrained while a psychopath is premeditative So hearing those traits may give you the impression that all psychopaths are sexually dangerous, but that's not true.

You may have worked for a psychopath because in reality, due to their narcissistic tendencies, they are attracted to higher positions of power, such as CEOs or politicians. I mean, sure you can argue that politics is dangerous, but when you think of a psychopath you think of Patrick Bateman not so much Patrick Leahy, which begs the question: how do you know if you're dealing with a psychopath? Here are some traits you should keep in mind. be aware of overconfidence insincere irresponsible selfish does not understand metaphors or abstract ideas but specializes in logic and reason superficial emotions indifferent has a parasitic lifestyle chaotic behavior has a high disgust threshold and does not look a person in the eye when that person person is having an emotional moment right now, you might be looking at that list and seeing that some of those things apply to you, so does that mean you're a psychopath?

Not unless you're a real psychopath. When testing these types of traits for psychopathy, it's not just about the traits themselves, it's actually more about the intention behind those traits, like someone might have a little bit of narcissism or overconfidence, but that's not necessarily makes you a psychopath now if that is geared towards using other people for your benefit and not having any empathy for Those people then yes you could be a psychopath. So is there any hope for someone who is a psychopath? Can we change them somehow? Can you change yourself in any way if you are a psychopath or just destined to hurt other people?

For the rest of your life, there are not necessarily some studies being done at the Mendota Youth Treatment Center in Madison, Wisconsin that might give you a little hope in testing for youth psychopathy. Almost all of the children at the Mendota treatment center turned out to be serious. for potential psychopathy in adulthood. Psychopaths rarely give any consideration to punishment; in fact, punishment only tends to harden their criminality and psychopaths are six times more likely to commit more crimes after being released from prison, so the sinner decided not to focus so much on punishment. They kind of flipped the script and focused on positive reinforcement, what they call the decompression model and the decompression model indicates positive behavior no matter the size, it was reinforced with a reward like chocolate bars or video games and the rewards can escalate, meaning good behavior equals bigger rewards, so Did it work well?

They studied 300 participants who were at the Mendota treatment center and then some who were treated elsewhere with different models and of those after five years only 64% of the youth at the treatment center were arrested compared to the 98% of those who don't. youth in treatment, that's a 34% reduction in recidivism, Mendota Center youth were 50 percent less likely to commit a violent crime, and treatment center youth did not commit any homicides compared to youth in treatment. They were not at the treatment center and killed 16 people after their release. It seems like it's very important and carries a lot of weight to identify these traits and children when they're young and be able to teach them tools so they can work with them as they get older or, to use a cliché, a carrot is more.

More effective than a stick. There is now a lot of misinformation about psychopathy. Just because someone is defined as a psychopath does not necessarily mean that he will be violent. Most people want to do the right thing even if they don't know it. what's the right thing to do, but still, if you think that someone you work with, there's someone you're involved with in some way, might be a psychopath, you might want to keep your guard up and just say, what do you think you know? in your life who could be defined as a psychopath, have you had any experience with them?
