When we talk about psychopaths, especially in America, it conjures the image of mentally ill patients or really disturbed criminals as depicted in Hollywood movies or serious criminal cases. Instead, they are found in families and businesses in every strata of society. Many of them seem to be perfectly normal. They are hard to recognize, unless you know this type of personality disorder well: as a specialized therapist or as a past victim. There is no way to identify them unless you have to deal with them directly for a long period of time. It takes sometime years to unmask them or dare to leave them because they are excellent manipulators and seducers. They alternate fake closeness and disconnection. Their influences nevertheless is destructive. They enjoy position of power. They are found in the police, in politic, in justice, in management... at home and at work.
In their childhood, these types of people may have been overstressed, raised without boundaries, adulated, victims of serious traumas, or suffered from lack or misplaced love. There are rarely diagnoses for psychopathy. Generally, a psychopath do not consult a therapist unless he wants to use the therapy against his victims which is common if the therapist is not very familiar with this type of personality. Generally the victim is the one looking for some help to keep her/his sanity and recover from the destruction of her identity.
Often, they are brilliant people with a lot of charisma - they can seduce the most recalcitrant, beautiful girls. 70% are men and 30% are women. More and more women now shut down their feelings as men do, to succeed in the business world. Their style of perversion is a little bit different depending on their social status or the family situation. The percentage of women is unfortunately increasing. Men or women who are their victims have a harder time to be recognized as victim in some culture. In France, we named them Narcissist pervert and they can get 5 years in prison for psychological abuse. Of course it still very difficult to prove because they often operate in the privacy of home or office.
A relationship with them is a "ONE WAY RELATIONSHIP".
His face is often without expression with a lost and empty look.
“PSYCHO” MEANS “SPIRIT/SOUL” AND “PATHOS” MEANS “DISEASE/SUFFERING”.
We could say that psychopathy is a sickness of the soul. Something must have happened in their childhood. They have totally disconnected themselves from their souls in order probably to protect themselves from suffering.In their childhood, these types of people may have been overstressed, raised without boundaries, adulated, victims of serious traumas, or suffered from lack or misplaced love.
