Psychopathy

-- "Some researchers state that psychopathy is a form of ASPD, and healthcare professionals might diagnose ASPD in a person who demonstrates psychopathic traits. For instance, the American Psychological Association describes psychopathy as another term for ASPD. Other researchers say that psychopathy is a separate condition but acknowledge that it has traits that overlap with those of ASPD. Research supports this overlap, with one study estimating that approximately one-third of people with ASPD meet the criteria for having psychopathy. Some researchers have also described psychopathy as a more violent version of ASPD. An article from the journal Current Biology so notes that people with high psychopathic traits show a noticeable lack of guilt and empathy."medicalnewstoday.com | { Last medically reviewed on September 27, 2022 }

* Speaking of Psychology: Why psychopathy is more common than you think, with Abigail Marsh, PhD - YouTube42,456 views Mar 16, 2022 Podcast: Speaking of Psychology
Most of us think we know what a psychopath looks like. The word brings to mind images of horror movies and criminals. But psychopathy is far more common than most people realize, and actually hard to recognize in other people. Abigail Marsh, PhD, of Georgetown University, discusses what researchers have learned about the causes of psychopathy and effective treatments for it, how to recognize psychopathy in those around you, and her work exploring the emotional processes and the brain differences that underlie both psychopathy and its opposite, extraordinary altruism. __________________________________ The American Psychological Association is the leading scientific and professional organization representing psychology in the United States, with more than 157,000 researchers, educators, clinicians, consultants and students as its members.
