is not something we'd notice of the silk out of us. that's what's astonishing here . it often takes months or years for even close trusted friends to see these people's true colors. this is our mention a canon if psychopaths blend in so well. how can we identify them? and can we be sure that we ourselves are psychopaths. ah, to determine who around us may be psychopathic. it would be good to learn to spot a few of the warning signs. but they're not typically as easy to spot as anton sugar. in the coen brothers, phil, no country for old men, anton, was a hit man driving across the united states in search of $2000000.00. used to bunk,

gung, kill anyone who crossed his path. sir, the most you ever lost mccoy, and i couldn't say it would in him fit in the character in this film displease a profound coldness when it comes to the fate of others, so that he hardly shows any emotions yet. meaning that we, the viewers are seeing nothing in terms of serenity, enjoy all kinds of sorrow, agitation or anger, and it from always kind of vague tire, that song german psychiatrist could schneider describe the principal characteristics of psychopathy as early as 923. but it's cool was a kind of callousness, the deficit in certain emotions like compassion, shame, or embarrassment people who are psychopathic. and ted bundy was certainly like this as well. sir. did you their freedom from guilt or remorse?

that is kind of like a superpower. something that you know might bother the average person, but certainly doesn't bother m. as it happens, the neighborhood that i grew up in and to come to washington was only about 3 miles away from the house where a ted bundy had grown up. ted bundy. between $197478.00, he killed at least 30 women and several us states. it were his home in a sling. first gaining the trust of his victims than he to ask for help carrying books to his car. he had prepped his volkswagen beetle so he could discreetly drive the women away, tortured them, and eventually killed them. his charm, a trade people described many times, gave him an advantage on 1st impression. psychopathic people often come across as very likable, approachable, and friendly in this idea that psychopathic appear quite normal. the 1st encounter

was described by american psychiatrist from kleckley in his 941 book. the mosque of sanity is connie grub at the here continued building on this resent. nearly 980 pair used case studies on male offenders. to create a checklist for assessing psychopathic personality traits. and he did a revised copy checklist. pcl, r for short, consists of a total of 20 treats his mac mall of these traits are primarily using information on file of but they're also based on an interview that the individual ah, 3 character trait a person can receive 0. 142 points. the highest calling can is 40. how many points do they need to be considered? a psychopath. remains are generally speaking,

a score of 25 and from the offender test group is considered high for 33 and this considered very helpful. annoy, goes by the pseudonym m e. thomas was assessed using this checklist. let's imagine her test results as a bustle filled with liquids. the more points she gets, the more liquid will be added. to create one superficial meaning, not being genuine in your interactions, to treat too grandiose and her self worth. you said to be treat 3 deceitful manipulator one to being insincere, exploiting others hero and any kind of lack of remorse. lack of empathy, lawyer, neglect, entity or sponsibility for your own actions involved in tulsa. lack of life goals tend to leave the no point that she does have life goals and thought it was still a team of poor behavioral control of anti social behavior as an adult

any thomas has known she was different since i think that it was really hard for me to respect people because i just saw them at the time as a child with a child's understanding. i just saw them as essentially just like insecurities and unmet expectations and need so i just, i think i just had like this over simplified view of people as like basically like mechanical toys. like company come from was like a perfect people. so different. is there something identifiable about their bodies, or for instance, their brains. in the late 19 eighties, the university of california acquired one of the 1st brains gunners in the united states. the idea was to use it to examine hardened criminals and determine whether any neurological predispositions existed that should justify reduced prison

sentences. the 1st scans i looked at of murderers and psychopaths was in 1989, a former student who was now psychiatrist, brought me the scan because i was studying murders. so i started looking at him one or 2 or 3 a year, up until about 2005. that's when i got a whole group of scans from different collaborators using fmr, i pet scan specs, scans of other kinds of murderers. and at that point, i started studying it and saw a pattern. what james, family discovered was the brain typical of a psychopath. a 2018 study, but germany's university hospitals of alcuin, and reagan's book furnished wider evidence of what follows and identified an individual cases. the research is compared $28.00 studies of frames, guns of a total of $700.00 psychopaths. for the 1st time, they were able to see

a direct link between the under activity of certain parts of the brain. with psychopathic behavior. decreased activity in the prefrontal cortex explains why psychopaths tend to disregard the rules. that, along with the further lack of activity in the insula, cortex may indicate why psychopathic tend to miss the emotional meaning of words. impaired function of the a mic, the life leads to impulsiveness, the urge to satisfy desires quickly without thinking through the potential consequences. and that is the full psychopathic brain sorta turned off from normal in order to satisfy the desire. swiftly psychopathic take a lot of risks, caring what others about them. in that sense, that behavior can become almost predictable. let's imagine a psychopathic in the famous marshmallow experiment. it works like this. the test subject. oftentimes a child is seated in front of

a marshmallow. if they wait patiently, they've been promised to marshmallows, but that requires self control, which can be a real challenge. most psychopaths lack self control. so let's review. we can recognize psychopathic with the help of a test. we can identify specific traits of that brains which differ from those long psychopathic. so false and good. until we returned james fallon, his studies up until 2005. let him to assume that i psychopaths can be identified by that brain structure. and b if a brain exhibits these traits, the personally psychopathic. but when phelan took brain scans of himself and his family to use as a control group for an outside the study, he got a rude awakening. and it went through one person, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th. um i got to the bottom of the pile and the been,

i started laughing. i said okay guys, busy joke is slipped in one of the murderers brains. one of the psychopath i said, does like the worst psychopathic pattern i'd ever seen and it was the pure pattern of psychopath that all the other damage. and they said, no, i said, you're kidding me. i said this is, this person should not be walking around an open society. and i tore the name off and i looked down. and that's when gandalf knocked on my door and said, you're it man. and it was my scan. on and continued searching. he discovered that not only did he have the brain of a psychopath, but you also have the crucial gene, very associating with aggression and psychopathy. the s l. c 6, a 14 helps breakdown serotonin. the m a r a gene, nicknamed the warrior gene, also helps breakdown serotonin and, nor adrenalin in the brain. serotonin,

the happy hormone helps calm you down, unless too much of it floods the brain, then it takes on a different role. that's what happens when few a variance at the 2 genes mentioned directive than the brain swims and serotonin, which can lead to aggression. ah, james family is by no means the only one of his kind. his research as shown, 20 percent of all children of the genetic condition linked to psychopathy. so is it possible to have the brain of a psychopath and the genetic predisposition yet still lead a relatively normal life and feel empathy with the people around you? i have some psychopathic traits, but i'm an normal regular guy, completely. bull james fallon's findings raised new questions. should brain structure, genetic makeup not be given such priority in determining if

a person will become psychopathic. what if there was a psychopath inside us? we didn't even know so was upon a time, it was thought that psych hoppity was completely genetic. if you had certain high risk genes, you were going to become psychopathic as an adult. and we know now that that's not true. it's not true for anything and it's certainly not true for as a comedy, there are some children who are born at higher risk of psych hoppity due to the genes that they have. we know that that's jail, however, ah, that's completely different from psych hoppity being hard wired. and we now know that the life experiences you have a place you had role in how your personality develops and the kinds of behaviors you'll go on to engage. and that's the key point one to some people with psychopathic predispositions become serial killers like ted bundy. well, others become so called high functioning cycle. the in months you mention common miskin and some people come into the world with genes

that prime them for developing psychopathic traits. when, when done in, and if a person is growing up in a certain environment and something happens in their life, that is very, very negative, rising extreme, for example, an extreme form of traumatic experiences. these, again, this genetic risk factor can be awake. so some leave ted bundy grew up around a vine and grandfather jo risky, was 3 weeks old when he was adopted. and at the age of 4, eileen bonus was left with her grandparents by her 20 year old mother. certain childhood experiences combined with psychopathic tendencies can lead people to become psychopathic serial killers by contrast, warm and responsive parenting. content of childhood psychopathic tendencies into a completely honda saddle. so warm and responsive parenting means parenting better,

very high and positive emotion. and very high in a fashion, lots of positive touch, lots of fashion at words, hugging when it can be managed, that sort of thing. and that's was the moment one of the harm i was there were several. but it was the idea that i was protected from my own biology by having such a wonderful family. my father and mother at the beach, a loving child. it is a key factor in preventing someone with a psychopathic predisposition from growing up to become a violent psychopath. even so people who know james phantom can spot certain psychopathic traits, for example, he's always seeking out intense and even dangerous experiences. and he can be somewhat manipulative. i thought it was great, but you ask enough people i was can give a real jerk, but i didn't think i was still not needed. fallen grow up to be non violent,

but also very successful. could that be a connection concern? copy actually help a person find success for kaiser. success means i feel comfortable with my life and i feel comfortable with other people in my social circles when it and in the core aspects of life, from family partnership, your job friendships and hobbies and so on. provide all in all i lead a satisfying fulfilling life as soon as leaving darcy in vienna to part in that sense, we can see that psychopathology doesn't necessarily have to clash with a incident. there are people who do well and some of these aspects, but not all of them on this. and so they can definitely live a successful and fulfilled life in some of their character. traits can even come in handy professionally. with chung, it comes the power of persuasion. low anxiety means false to decision making. and social dominance is suited to taking on leadership roles. for me,

from the time i was young in great school, certainly through high school beyond to this day i'm always asked to be the heads of things and be the leader around the panel. be the head of the faculty here. be the head of the faculty at the hospital. um, are to be big fundraising. things are mostly asked to come in and do the chattering in order to put the energy in leveraging otherwise challenging traits to their own advantage. there's no pets, or example of this principle, the dexter law game. in this television series, the protagonist uses his psychopathy to kill danger psychopath. ah, something down criminals isn't the only possibility. people with psychopathic traits are evidently able to find quick and goal oriented solutions to problems. according to a 2012 study by the university of oxford. they even prefer certain professionals among the top 10, a cook,

and the surgeon and sales manager in 1st place his business management. it seems a few people with psychopathic personalities are able to make the best of the traits they possess. still, there are risks of human resource specialists worn at the dark triad. the dark triad is defined by 3 to facility to so that often go hand in hand. first, there's novices, or an inflated sense of self importance. then there's machiavellian isn't oh, highly manipulative behavior, and setting one's own rules and their psychopathy, which is characterized by carelessness. the more overlap between these disorders, the higher the odds of incompatibility and hom, that i me get side to do for some time. now, the greater attention has been paid to these negative personality aspects which are reflected for example, in the dark triad in assessments. assessments centers will systematically record these traits to identify people in whom there is specially strong harm by they can

pose a risk to the company through the corporate culture and, and economic success fit in which of the for today, the human resource department of big companies are aware of the dangers posed by the social managers, they try to identify them using employee surveys or even targeted analysis during hiring to be trained, managers can then help them improve their social behavior. may come as a surprise. that idea of a good leader includes traits that are traditionally associated with psychopath. a 2012 study analyzed us presidents from george washington to george w bush for the psychopathic traits, fearlessness, and social dominance. these traits were far more prevalent among the presidents than the general population among the pro 5 with theodore roosevelt, john f. kennedy and ronald reagan,

the more pronounced the tray to fearless dominance, the more positive was their public writing in terms of persuasiveness, crisis management, leadership and communication skills, and their appetite for taking risks. in fact, if we look at the number of electoral victories or if the programs they initiated these presidents also objectively more successful than the ones with lower scores. you know, many people make the mistake of thinking. if you don't like somebody, there must be a psychopath. like who's the jerk and it's not that person. so everybody always like to say donald trump is a psychopathy must, because i hate him so much. so if you're ever looking for a psychopath. snap, the person who's darling, you know, all this stuff. i mean, that's not the psychopath. it's the one is go who loves you baby. so people get this wrong all the time. the sun can, you make it to the top tend to be a death, the charming, the room as well. never the less. psychopathic tends not to follow traditional

linear career paths, let alone lead and time nations. most of them stand out in their childhood. some find it difficult to maintain social relationship due to their erotic lifestyle and some come criminals ah, what was ending up happening in my twenties? just like every 2 to 3 years. everything would kind of fall apart. you know, things to be really good for a year or 2 or something. you know, i'd start law school and then start over and be good or i'd start a new job and, and kind of start over. but after like 3 years it was like, i couldn't sustain anything, any relationship or any job for longer than 2 to 3 years. and i thought, well, i can't just keep starting over, you know, especially not with like the life expectancy. now that i have of like going into my eighty's or something like that's just too many times starting over. and so that's when i really started thinking let's, let's kind of see if i can figure out what's going on here.

thomas went to a psychiatrist who diagnosed her, but psychopathology didn't really feel like anything. it kind of was like, well this is something that i already know so like about long considered impossible to treat in 2013 the study at the university medical center groningen the netherlands to new approach. psychopathic patience was shown video clips of touching the interactions were loving, painful or neutral. the painful images triggered no reactions in the relevant areas of patients brain. when they were asked to empathize with the victim in the scenes consciously, the scanner images. sure brain to be too much and lots of compassion of people. and so can psychopaths learn to express the feelings they lack? how can they condition themselves to and schemers are different sort of coherent

ways of understanding themselves as people and the way that they relate to other people to emy thomas therapy was like setting foot in a brand new world, the feeling i used to feel like desire i used to feel like anger, i used to feel happy, but then i was starting to feel a lot of these complicated ones like regret and disappointments. and like on we like all these other things. and i sometimes was not even able to identify them. i just thought, wow, what is this feeling? and i was still, you know, like an adult, you know, walking around an adult body, but feeling these feelings for the 1st time. and i just felt like this 2nd puberty, this kind of personal and emotional progress may be exciting, but it's also hard work. and not every psychopathic is as reflective in treatable as m. e. thomas. the final 2 paths rushed off to touch. defeating psychopathic

criminals is especially demanding on the people who treat them in the sense that psychopathic perpetrators and often stand out in the correctional system for their very challenging or sometimes highly manipulative behavior or credit money. quality was 505. and the person needs to and people, as a comedy tend to be pretty narcissistic. they tend to think that they are as awesome as a person can be. and if you think you're completely awesome, why would you need any treatment? then there's a lack of understanding society chose to shield itself from psychopathic people. psychopathy is not usually considered a mitigating factor when it comes to sentencing. just the opposite of the symptoms of a psychopath can be up to 3 times more severe than nothing. non psychopathic criminal . nevertheless, there is no stereotypical psychopath. psychopathy is multi faceted and not

preordained. psychopathic children face better odds if they are raised with love. adults can be treatable if they're willing to put in the necessary work. we shouldn't forget that. in spite of the few dramatic cases, the bright, the fill us with fear and loathing, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,

with their always whip as, everywhere we go. our smartphone. but for how much longer technology experts say that era mindy over. but what come with a look at right after the smartphone to barrow to the current d, w ah, e to africa,

pollution. it's a traditional in liberia that the sale and consumption of it has been in full several years. the goal is to preserve the bio diversity and prevent the spread of diseases. how would liberian something with a change in 60 minutes on d, w with d w, a clear positions international perspectives. like every week we get to the point on our current topic with d w. the only way i can be on top is to create my own

empire. discover stories with just a click away. majority the destination, right? find out they stuck, you make trees with the full right now i can then tree the tree or taking on nigerian trafficking that works a lot to finish with that when it comes to trafficking nigerian women for sex, they're always saying the same thing. you get to go without having to pay it. obviously that's all. and i am in a form that yes and then you succeed in restoring this young girls ability to treat it. it's something that really is price meant that gives me not to what i do. the true, combating,
