Psychopathic Nation. 33 Diverse Articles with tons of links to Online Resources. Psychopathic leaders sow and cultivate the culture of hate, greed, bias, revenge and the lack of compassion that allows death by marginalization and genocide. These Dark Disorders are everywhere, and in the USA they are cruel leaders currently in office, a group of mobsters headed by Mafia-like Donald Trump. This culture can spread from person to group, aided by our own brain that accepts prejudice and hate. But, we can intervene in the propaganda and warlike methods of the stealing Psychopaths. This is Book 14 in a series on dangerous narcissism, and political psychopaths. Charles K. Bunch, Ph.D., is a retired clinical therapist of 30 years, and is currently a writer on Dark Disorder, consultant, and author of 100 books.
An enlightening and entertaining look at how to use your inner psychopath to get the most out of LIFE. What is a good psychopath? And how can thinking like one help you to be the best that you can be? Professor Kevin Dutton has spent a lifetime studying psychopaths. He first met SAS hero Andy McNab during a research project. What he found surprised him. McNab is a diagnosed psychopath but he is a GOOD PSYCHOPATH. Unlike a BAD PSYCHOPATH, he is able to dial up or down qualities such as ruthlessness, fearlessness, conscience and empathy to get the very best out of himself -- and others -- in a wide range of situations. Drawing on the combination of Andy McNab's wild and various experiences and Professor Kevin Dutton's expertise in analysing them, together they have explored the ways in which a good psychopath thinks differently and what that could mean for you. What do you really want from life, and how can you develop and use qualities such as charm, coolness under pressure, self-confidence and courage to get it? The Good Psychopath's Guide to Success gives you a unique and entertaining road-map to self-fulfillment both in your personal life and your career.
Do you know someone who is just a bit too manipulative and full of himself? Does someone you know charm the masses yet lack the ability to deeply connect with those around her? You might have an Almost Psychopath in your life. Grandiosity and exaggerated self-worth. Pathological lying. Manipulation. Lack of remorse. Shallowness. Exploitation for financial gain. These are the qualities of Almost Psychopaths. They are not the deranged criminals or serial killers that might be coined "psychopaths" in the movies or on TV. They are spouses, coworkers, bosses, neighbors, and people in the news who exhibit many of the same behaviors as a full-blown psychopath, but with less intensity and consistency. In Almost a Psychopath, Ronald Schouten, MD, JD, and James Silver, JD, draw on scientific research and their own experiences to help you identify if you are an Almost Psychopath and, if so, guide you to interventions and resources to change your behavior. If you think you have encountered an Almost Psychopath, they offer practical tools to help you: recognize the behavior, attitudes, and characteristics of the Almost Psychopath; make sense of interactions you've had with Almost Psychopaths; devise strategies for dealing with them in the present; make informed decisions about your next steps; and learn ways to help an Almost Psychopath get better control of their behavior. The Almost Effect Series presents books written by Harvard Medical School faculty and other experts that offer guidance on common behavioral and physical problems falling in the spectrum between normal health and a full-blown medical condition. These are the first publications to help general readers recognize and address these problems.
What if society wasn't fundamentally rational, but was motivated by insanity? This thought sets Jon Ronson on an utterly compelling adventure into the world of madness. Along the way, Jon meets psychopaths, those whose lives have been touched by madness and those whose job it is to diagnose it, including the influential psychologist who developed the Psychopath Test, from whom Jon learns the art of psychopath-spotting. A skill which seemingly reveals that madness could indeed be at the heart of everything . . . Combining Jon Ronson's trademark humour, charm and investigative incision, The Psychopath Test is both entertaining and honest, unearthing dangerous truths and asking serious questions about how we define normality in a world where we are increasingly judged by our maddest edges. 'The belly laughs come thick and fast – my God, he is funny . . . provocative and interesting' – Observer
The discussion of whether psychopaths are morally responsible for their behaviour has long taken place in philosophy. In recent years this has moved into scientific and psychiatric investigation. Responsibility and Psychopathy discusses this subject from both the philosophical and scientific disciplines, as well as a legal perspective.
Psychopath. The word conjurs up images of serial killers, rapists, suicide bombers, gangsters. But think again: you could probably benefit from being a little more psychopathic yourself. Psychologist Kevin Dutton has made a speciality of psychopathy, and is on first-name terms with many notorious killers. But unlike those incarcerated psychopaths, and all those depicted in movies and crime fiction, most are not violent, he explains. In fact, says Prof Dutton, they have a lot of good things going for them. Psychopaths are fearless, confident, charismatic and focused--qualities tailor-made for success in today's society. The Wisdom of Psychopaths is an intellectual rollercoaster ride that combines lightning-hot science with unprecedented access to secret monasteries, Special Forces training camps, and high-security hospitals. In it, you will meet serial killers, war heroes, financiers, movie stars and attorneys--and discover that beneath the hype and popular characterization, psychopaths have something to teach us. Like the knobs on a mixing deck, psychopathy is graded. And finding the right combination of psychopathic traits, sampled and mixed at carefully calibrated volumes, can put us ahead of the game.
Revised and updated with the latest scientific research and updated case studies, the business classic that offers a revealing look at psychopaths in the workplace—how to spot their destructive behavior and stop them from creating chaos in the modern corporate organization. Over the past decade, Snakes in Suits has become the definitive book on how to discover and defend yourself against psychopaths in the office. Now, Dr. Paul Babiak and Dr. Robert D. Hare return with a revised and updated edition of their essential guide. All of us at some point have—or will—come into contact with psychopathic individuals. The danger they present may not be readily apparent because of their ability to charm, deceive, and manipulate. Although not necessarily criminal, their self-serving nature frequently is destructive to the organizations that employ them. So how can we protect ourselves and our organizations in a business climate that offers the perfect conditions for psychopaths to thrive? In Snakes in Suits, Hare, an expert on the scientific study of psychopathy, and Babiak, an industrial and organizational psychologist and a leading authority on the corporate psychopath, examine the role of psychopaths in modern corporations and provide the tools employers can use to avoid and deal with them. Together, they have developed the B-Scan 360, a research tool designed specifically for business professionals. Dr. Babiak and Dr. Hare reveal the secret lives of psychopaths, explain the ways in which they manipulate and deceive, and help you to see through their games. The rapid pace of today’s corporate environment provides the perfect breeding ground for these "snakes in suits" and this newly revised and updated classic gives you the insight, information, and power to protect yourself and your company before it’s too late.
Reflecting the work of an international panel of experts, the International Handbook on Psychopathic Disorders and the Law offers an in-depth and multidisciplinary look at key aspects of the development and etiology of psychopathic disorders, current methods of intervention, treatment and management, and how these disorders impact decision making in civil and criminal law.
Eli is a name given to Mark Germine at the time of his revelation from the God of Abraham in 1996. As such revelation makes him a prophet, he is the Prophet Eli. He had published one previous book, the Book of Eli (2011). He continues to prophesize about possibilities in the future, and many of his prophecies have already come to pass, in particular the times of trouble and danger, which began on September 11, 2001, with the demolition of the Twin Towers and other atrocities. Eli foresees a great worldwide calamity relating to future breakdown of the economy in the near future, for which we must prepare. Only by forsaking usury, totally and as soon as possible, can this calamity be averted. Our future may be as unfavorable as human extinction, but beyond this, Eli foresees a time of peace, universal love, world harmony, and paradise or heaven on earth for those who can perceive it. This will happen when we go back to our former state as represented in the mythos by the Garden of Eden and prior to the Fall of Lucifer. As a psychiatrist and theologian, Eli attributes the Fall to the development of an alter-ego identity as against the true ego, united with the soul. The Fall is at the root of psychopathic behavior that is now out of control in government, business, and elsewhere. This theme is developed broadly in this book to search for the mastermind of 9/11 and others involved. God gave Eli the mission of unveiling the events of 9/11 and using his knowledge as a psychiatrist to unveil the mastermind of 9/11 and other psychopaths in the United States who made it happen, and this is the underlying structure of this book. Eli remains a seer who has insight into hidden knowledge, giving him a special qualification to go about this work. Eli is otherwise an ordinary human being and not a messiah or demigod. He is neither perfect norr infallible. He has chosen the road of compassion and love for all of humankind, as revealed to him beginning in 1996. Before this, in 1977, he was given a vision of heaven on earth with the passing of his mother. Heaven on earth already exists, but people do not see it (Gospel of Thomas). This perception is critical to the future of humankind. Hell, the Horror, is always with us in its perception by humans but falls when this perception is abandoned. A new human being then inhabits a new world. Humankind will become One in love. Eli teaches the unity of all major world religions and science and, as a scientist, does not believe in the supernatural but, rather, a universe based on the experience in the One Mind or God. God's choice is in a universe of infinite possibilities, as held in Eli's interpretation of the One Mind Model in quantum physics.
