Would you buy a book on psychopaths? (46)
cherrybrandy: the English shouldnt be a reason,but in my opinion to write a book on a subject you need to know everything about it,be qualified and have major experience,as well as research.still the subject,even interesting has been exploited a lot in movies,documentaries,books ,textbooks,etc.as Eagle mentioned a lot of material can be found on the net.i dont think people,who read for pleasure will buy that sort of book,maybe people who deal with these sort of problems will,providing the book is really good.good luck if you decide writing it..
Thanks a lot for encouraging me. I have some ideas on it but I am not sure if do it. Difficult.
whowhatwherewhen: Im more into reading about serial killers. I have quite a large collection.
you could never avoid these sorts of people if they have their eye on you. They appear to be very ordinary and do not have psycho stamped on their forehead.

This is it. Thay have not got psycho stamped on their forehead. But maybe there are something in their behaviour, hobbies ect. that may make other people being aware of them. Don't you think so?
Margo19991: I wonder what will be the answers. I think psychopaths are very dangerous people and maybe it is worth to know about them a little to avoid them effectively.
Ill rather spend the money on beer ...
Lonely1: Not sure what you mean: that one could disappear and nobody would miss/find them, or that one could disappear and that they would all know it is you...since you borrowed the book on psycopaths from your local library?

Good topic Margo
I'm interested in knowing to avoid psycho/sociopaths
I originally posted in a political thread that I think drew a few out
The following is largely extracted from two articles:Twilight of the Psychopaths, by Dr. Kevin Barrett and The Trick of the Psychopath’s Trade by Silvia Cattori. Both articles are recommended. Both articles reference the book Political Ponerology: A science on the nature of evil adjusted for political purposes, by Andrzej Lobaczewski.
One of the main factors to consider in terms of how a society can be taken over by a group of pathological deviants is that the psychopaths’ only limitation is the participation of susceptible individuals within that given society. Lobaczewski gives an average figure for the most active deviants of approximately 6% of a given population. (1% essential psychopaths and up to 5% other psychopathies and characteropathies.) The essential psychopath is at the center of the web. The others form the first tier of the psychopath’s control system. The next tier of such a system is composed of individuals who were born normal, but are either already warped by long-term exposure to psychopathic material via familial or social influences, or who, through psychic weakness have chosen to meet the demands of psychopathy for their own selfish ends.
Numerically, according to Lobaczewski, this group is about 12% of a given population under normal conditions. So approximately 18% of any given population is active in the creation and imposition of a Pathocracy. The 6% group constitutes the Pathocratic nobility and the 12% group forms the new bourgeoisie, whose economic situation is the most advantageous. When you understand the true nature of psychopathic influence, that it is conscienceless, emotionless, selfish, cold and calculating, and devoid of any moral or ethical standards, you are horrified, but at the same time everything suddenly begins to makes sense. Our society is ever more soulless because the people who lead it and who set the example are soulless — they literally have no conscience.
"The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who do not possess it" -George Bernard Shaw, English philosopher.
No, better buy a stephen king novel

Psychopaths can be very dangerous people, that's true. There aren't many of them, statistically - but of course, true psychopaths are adept at pretence, so there may be more than we know of. The CIA have done extensive research about psychopathic behaviour and how to spot psychopaths, worth googling if you are interested.
I think people are fascinated by psychopaths for the same reason they are fascinated by the criminal mind - it's interesting to learn about these strange people who are so different from us - from a safe distance. :-)
I probably wouldn't buy a book on psychopaths - I would probably prefer to spend my money on something a little cheerier, but I'm sure plenty of others would.

Thanks for your post. So, I wouldn't take away the CIA job it could be really dangerous.
I am a biologist, interested a little in psychology. I am sure that this is the mind which is responsible for psychopathy. It starts working in unusual way because of some trauma, genetic or drugs. Maybe one day in the future, when there will be cure for today's incurrable illneses, there will be a method, some medicines for comming back psychopaths to healthy life.

Yes. The CIA have a keen interest in identifying psychopaths - psychopaths generally have a tenuous grip on moral codes and never worry about anything, so they're ideal for the er, less comfortable jobs that the CIA might need done. Some of these psychopathic/sociopathic types probably make very good field operatives, especially for the more dangerous work.
Absolutely Amazing!!!
