We all know someone with psychopathy.

But few know the truth about it. We’re helping change that… by helping you know the signs. Know about treatment options and resources. And know you’re not alone.
Carrie Barron, M.D., is director of Creativity for Resilience at Dell Medical School and an associate professor in the Department of Medical Education. She is also a board-certified psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and Positive Psychology Coach
She joins us today on zoom to discuss treating people with Psychopathy.
3:12 - I've found that videos like these-- mental health professionals explaining these difficult concepts in a straightforward way-- has been so helpful in understanding the confusing and contradictory experiences that come from being in a close relationship with someone with psychopathy. I can't thank you enough for sharing your insights.
Living with psychopaths, especially when there is schizophrenia thrown into the mix, can be very challenging. This video is validating and helpful. I never thought there was a way of helping them fit in better. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Such interesting content
My experience is that some have been taught (through good intentions) by their parents how to “act,” and thus they have an uncanny ability to get away with behavior by seeming to fit in or faking it.
Robert D. Hare in "Without Conscience" said exactly that in his book. When this doctor talked about treating people by telling them how to act I thought, "Uh Oh."
Too many Managers in the work place and a lot of Politicians, CEO of Companies have this or other Anti-social personality disorders and we continue to not address the problem, we get people lives an absolute misery, this is one reason we have wars and other in direct killings of human beings Climate change the amount of people that are dying and not being addressed, it needs to be addressed, we have to get them out of power.
Correct 💯!
4:12 TRUE... when too much liberty is allowed... weakness is the result.
Can there be mild forms of psychopathy?
Yes- it exists on a spectrum. One type of testing involved often used is the Hare Psychopathy checklist, which ranks out of 40. I believe Ted Bundy scored the highest (that we know of) at 39. But like anything it’s a spectrum. There’s typically two types of people with psychopathy. Type 1. Criminal. These might be the rap ists and killers, but more likely to be white collar crime, forgery, art heists, etc. Type 2 is the corporate psychopaths. The Jeff Bezos, Elon Musks, Donald Trumps, Mark Zuckerbergs of the world (obviously they are an extreme example). But the corporate types thrive within the corporate world _although_ they are likely to have many interpersonal conflicts, as they will step on whoever they need to along the way. I would recommend seeking professional support if this is something present in your personal life. Also, Jon Ronsons book the psychopath test is brilliant, as is his famous Ted talk. Would highly recommend it,
Yes i think, psychopathy do exist in a spectrum
@@quanghuypham5098 you know I've been reading a book about psychopaths and why they are more likely to get promoted and career success, let's keep in mind that psychopathy is a personality disorder, and if it's a personality then some personalities can be career driven or success driven, and the personality of a psychopath is similar to the personality of a chairman of a fortune 500 company, if the characteristic of a psychopath are implemented into buisness or career then success will happen
So does the objectification of things by psychopaths extend to their perceiving things more in accordance with the shapes, colors, etc., rather than interpreting things like form, etc. based on the highlights, midtones, shadows, etc. as the brains of non-psychopaths do primarily by nature?
I dont get that part where "punishment doesnt work but rewards do". There is no difference between punishment and reward, its just a matter of reframing. For example in prison (where theres a lot of psychopaths) inmates dont have sweets, coffee, cigarettes unless they behave well. What is that? a punishment for bad behavior or a reward for good behavior? Its a matter of framing, so how can one work and not the other?
I can explain, punishment, if you are not in jail probably going to?, or being able to take out from your job? I guess is a hostage situation, and rewards i guess to feed the literal hunger, like a kid, that why is so tiring?
Interesting
Dude of course theres a difference, theyre almost opposite terms. Shes talking about positive and negative reinforcement. Reinforcing positive behaviour instead of focusing on punishing negatively. Give the person good words when they doing the right thing. Also works with reciprocity punishments, which means when they do something wrong they have to fix the situation or do the most reparative thing. In parenting is easier.
I mean its basic conductism. Rewarding desired behaviours.

Are you worried that by teaching psychopaths how to act, you're helping them become better predators?
I was waiting for you to talk about when psychopaths get old. Natures karma.
If you believe in karma, then how do you explain Harlequin Ichthyosis?, or Cancer in babies?, or AIDS in newborns?, or Malaria in children?. Where they serial killers/mass murderers/tyrants in their past lives?. And if so, did their victims also deserve that "karma"? Are all perpetrators of evil just "karmic agents"?, and, when does it end?
They probably already have their "karma" cuz psychopathy is deficient in itself. Getting top positions at career only perpetuates that deficiency and their defense mechanisns
@@JDdr86 chill dude its a figure of speech.
@@zacharyb2723 It is a good point and opinion.
Yup, pretty much raward works
I don’t have psychopathy. Why are they so angry when tell them they need to stop gaslighting and get some help?
Incurable, avoid them at all costs if you happen to see behind their lies (which is super difficult). I have this strange sensation that these people were meant to 'cull the herd' from nature standpoint knowing that other apex predators could not make the job. Even though not all of them are killers, a lot of them manipulate to have power, money and sex (on both genders btw). The lowest of impulses.
It is an advantageous trait for positions of power. Name one important leader that doesn't display psychopathic or narcissistic traits
If this was true why most psychopaths specially the ones who commit murders and or are sadistic, have been abused or mistreated? Also, we as humans evolve by being in group. Individuals cannot survive alone without society in the ugy nature. We are not predators also.
@@leonfa259 yeah but most psychopaths are part of the "normal" population. I believe even in underderdeloped societies exist but they are not diagnosed also bc they dont match the european criteria.
@brownincel6018 evil isn't a thing from natures pov, thats a human construct
@@leonfa259 it makes it easier for them to get positions of power, but I'm not sure that it actually makes them suited for the job. I'm fairly confident that the psychopaths in positions of power have caused immense damage and that many of the large societal problems we have are precisely because we have psychopaths in those positions. I think this is one of the core issues with our society that psychopathic and narcissistic traits are rewarded with positions of power, which means that our leaders don't care about humanity
She says getting through guilt and shame. They don’t have any of that.
She's referring to the parents, good job on watching the video and not actually paying attention.
She seems to care more about their parents' guilt or shame than about their little children's wellbeing tbh.
@@ravensteiner671 why so rude and irritated? Asking about you - hoping you will focus solely on yourself and your behaviors, not on me or why I do not interpret her ramblings in the same way that you do.
@@Polina-ji4fe Psychiatrists know from long experience that psychopathy is incurable. The parents need huge amounts of practical and psychological support to survive a psychopathic child.
It's not treatable i believe How you change the brain structure?
Perhaps one who goes to therapy, is not psychopath at all.
It's extremely rare, but some of them do. Why deny a possibility of that? They already deny it to themselves, but if society does that it doesn't help. There's a woman on this channel who wrote a book and was talking about her personal experiences in therapy.
You can not treat Psychopaths, you can only help them mask better, making them better predators.
Put them in positions where they help society such as surgeons.
No need for them now AI and Robots is taking over their job@@leonfa259
@@leonfa259 How about just soldiers, rescuers, firefighters, paramedics and first responders in general?, you know, something with no chances of letting them cause harm and use their deficits as a strength.
@@JDdr86 These positions are also good examples. Of course every position can create harm.
I think what you say is true for CBT. Because when feelings and object-related things come into play, there might be true change for them, when therapist replaces a bad internalized object or something like that
It seems like most psychopaths also charming in some way, and I don't understand the correlation. Jeffrey Dahmer was able to charm the cops into handing one victim back to him!
You don't ....you run. Period Incurable and fatal
Psychopath in serious treatment here. Slowly turning my traits into positivity, it has taken over 15 years but there is still chance. We do recover!! ✨❤️
@@yanamicheala3800 i don't think so. Maybe you can control your dark impulses a little but nothing more than that.
I think it depends on the type of psychopath and the type of relationship as to whether you need to run... For example some make very good surgeons. Not many are dangerous physically
@@banglaanimeproject9036 at the end of the day, all humans are controlling their dark impulses. Most of us who live in a developed society are pretty good at that, but what happens when you add war, poverty, extremist ideologies, etc. to the mix? Nazi Germany. Communist China. Entire populations edorsing war crimes, genocides, and terrorism. If a recovered psychopath is simply 'controlling their impulses' then they're living like the vast majority of the population.
@@banglaanimeproject9036 you don't think so? Who even are you? she said she is being followed by experts.
Get away from such people. That's the treatment
Look at president's Prime minister's CEO's Managers and the bosses in Workplaces, you cannot avoid them
They can't get away from themselves. And here in Russia we have whole system that's highly psyhopathic and they hire and choose psychopaths to be on those jobs. It no longer affects only Russia, but also its ex colony states and post-soviet states, sadly.
