Another thing to consider is that according to leading researcher Robert Hare, the criteria established for distinguishing a psychopath from antisocial personality disorder is "fuzzy". He contends that it allows those that ought to be catagorized as true pyschopaths to slip into a more benign "slot". It could be that some of those you have worked with who felt remorse were indeed suffering from ASPD. But as Suzanne pointed out true psychopaths are master mimics. Hare's book, "Without Conscience" has several stories of very experience clinicians still being fooled by their clients. A sobering warning.<BR/><BR/>SariadeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15628139.post-49003693256213812842007-04-11T05:50:00.000+10:002007-04-11T05:50:00.000+10:00I am a little concerned with your description of p...I am a little concerned with your description of psychopaths having feelings of shame, or emotions. There are some very good books out by Dr. Robert Hare - Without Conscience; Dr. Martha Stuart - The Sociopath Next Door; and Dr. Hervey Cleckley - The Mask of Sanity. They have shown that psychopaths have no conscience, nor do they show genuine emotions. If they show emotion - or shame - it is a mimicked emotion. Something that they have seen other people do. They study these emotions shown by other people to better be able to act like other people. But, a true psychopath does not love his family, does not love anyone other than himself, does nothing for anyone unless it helps him further his career, agenda, crime, etc. And he certainly has no shame for anything that he has done.<BR/><BR/>There is an article written about a book called Political Ponerology that describes what is happening in this country, and the world, right now. It is very relevant that this article be read for everybody so that they can understand what is going on here on the Big Blue Marble. You can find the article here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.cassiopaea.org/cass/political_ponerology_<BR/>lobaczewski.htm<BR/><BR/>This is a very serious situation. Not something to take lightly. I urge everyone to read this article.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04505506503898086944noreply@blogger.com
