An interesting account of the theories, research, controversies, and issues surrounding the construct of psychopathy and those who exhibit psychopathic traits. Fascinating discussion of the differences between “successful” and “unsuccessful” psychopaths, and where they tend to congregate in society.

CouronneDhiver Sounds fascinating! I don‘t think I‘m ready for it yet (in recovery from anxiety), but I‘m definitely curious 5y
Amiable @CouronneDhiver It really is! Particularly the chapters about the specific industries where "successful sociopaths" tend to be prevalent. One of the top professions is surgeons. I work at a hospital, and that doesn't surprise me at all. (edited) 5y
Tamra @Amiable oh dear 😬 5y

I know I am late to this party but what the hell is going on in Making a Murderer!?

So many mistakes made by the police and these guys were still found guilty! What the hell?!

MinDea Have you watched Keepers yet? 7y
MinDea Or Mommy Dead and Dearest (or something like that...) 7y
