Psychopathy (/saɪˈkɒpəθi/) (or sociopathy /ˈsoʊsiəˌpæθi/) is traditionally defined as apersonality disorder characterized by enduring antisocial behavior, diminished empathy andremorse, and disinhibited or bold behavior.
(...)
- Boldness. Low fear including stress-tolerance, toleration of unfamiliarity and danger, and high self-confidence and socialassertiveness. The PCL-R measures this relatively poorly and mainly through Facet 1 of Factor 1. Similar to PPI Fearless dominance. May correspond to differences in the amygdala and other neurological systems associated with fear.[SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][7][/SUP]
- Disinhibition. Poor impulse control including problems with planning and foresight, lacking affect and urge control, demand for immediate gratification, and poor behavioral restraints. Similar to PCL-R Factor 2 and PPI Impulsive antisociality. May correspond to impairments in frontal lobe systems that are involved in such control.[SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][7][/SUP]
- Meanness. Lacking empathy and close attachments with others, disdain of close attachments, use of cruelty to gainempowerment, exploitative tendencies, defiance of authority, and destructive excitement seeking. The PCL-R in general is related to this but in particular some elements in Factor 1. Similar to PPI Coldheartedness but also includes elements of subscales in Impulsive antisociality. Meanness may possibly be caused by either high boldness or high disinhibition combined with an adverse environment. Thus, a child with high boldness may respond poorly to punishment but may respond better to rewards and secure attachments which may not be available under adverse conditions. A child with high disinhibition may have increased problems under adverse conditions with meanness developing in response/
I actually have a friend who has Paranoid Personailty Disorder. Not quite the same thing I know, but some of the traits are a little similar.
If you're talking about Tim here and he does indeed have NPD, maybe he will end up in prison too.
My wife works in the prison service and she informs me that the one commonality in almost 100% of prisoners is it is always someone else's fault. The common one being "the judge got it wrong". Even the one's that admit they are there because they did the crime say it wasn't their fault that they did the crime.
Not sure if TF or JS has this but one of them must have. Surely they can't both fall within the 1% of the population?

Both NPD and Psychopathy are more common in the financial sector AFAIK. Something about those illnesses helps in that area.
Any evidence to support that claim?

Well a lack of empathy would certainly help in business.
Well yes and especially in law I would have thought.
If we are referring to Seppala, let's not forget what a Judge in a previous case said of her in summary.
"You recalled events that never actually took place and I have no reason to disbelieve that you believe they actually occurred".
Well this is this friend. Blames everyone else. The judge,the police, the social worker, her solicitor, anyone in authority.
Definitely got PPD though. Matches every single trait.
She's lovely with all her friends and family. A really nice person. Completely opposite with anyone in any sort of authority though when she is confronted by any sort of conflict.
She's fallen out with her children's headteacher, her GP, the police, the solicitor, the social worker, managers of any social services department. She's written letters to David Cameron and the Queen asking for their help (had her kids taken off her) and when they didn't offer their help she openly declared that she would choke them both to death with her bare hands. When the headteacher wouldn't help her in support of trying to get her children back she wrote a letter to the school saying he was a paedophile.
Trouble is as with most of these illnesses, she can not accept herself that she has this disorder and there lies the main problem. Tried to seek help for her myself but have been told that she herself needs to make the first move.
Went to her last court case (she's had at least 10) and she was lovely all the way through the case and spoke softly and nicely and respectfully. As soon as she was found guilty she shouted at the judge that he was a facist that the whole justice system was facist and that Britain is all corrupt. She was ranting and raving. Any conflict with her thinking and rationailty and she becomes a different person.
It's a very sad tale.
Might cheer me up a bit though if I knew our Tim had a mental disorder too mind.
Any evidence to support that claim?
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder in which a person is excessively preoccupied with personal adequacy, power, prestige and vanity, mentally unable to see the destructive damage they are causing to themselves and to others in the process. It is estimated that this condition affects one percent of the population. Does this ring any bells with anyone connected to our club?!? #bringcityhome.
Rupert Murdoch is another sufferer.
He suffers so much that it's irreversible. The only other option is to send him to hell.
Robert Maxwell was another.
They, without medication and help, (which involves an acknowledgement that there IS a problem), drift into states of denial and repetition.
It becomes an addiction with strong psychopathic overtones.
Psychopathy is a personality disorder... You can't medicate someone's personality.
Medication now we're talking I could become a doctor as well,private practice loads of money:claping hands:Grendel old chum you still have'nt replied to me about the E type yet looks like I'll be able to afford it now
Will you specializing in PMSD? (Post Match Stress Disorder) I think there could be a big market in Cov.
Can't afford to specialize Monday -Accounts, Tuesday -Court, Wednesday-Councelling, Thursday-Medication, Friday back in court pretty full week really,just hope that nobody can think of another subject I should be studying otherwise I'll have to give up my leisure pursuits such as Hill walking
