Psychopathy, is a term derived from the Greek, psyche (mind) and pathos (suffering), and was once used to denote any form of mental illness. Currently, psychopathy is defined in psychiatry as a condition characterized by lack of empathy or conscience, and poor impulse control or manipulative behaviors.

In current clinical use, psychopathy is most commonly diagnosed using Hare's Psychopathy Checklist-Revised. Hare describes psychopaths as “ Interspecies predators who use charm, manipulation, intimidation, and violence to control others and to satisfy their own selfish needs.”

A psychopath is defined as a person having no concerns for the feelings of others and a complete disregard for any sense of social obligation. They seem egocentric and lack insight of any sense of responsibility or consequence. Their emotions are thought to be superficial and shallow, if they exist at all. They are considered callous, manipulative, and incapable of forming lasting relationships, let alone showing any kind of meaningful love. They typically never perform any action unless they determine it can be beneficial for themselves.

Since psychopaths cause harm through their actions, it is assumed that they are not emotionally attached to the people they harm, psychopaths are also careless in the way they treat themselves. They frequently fail to alter their behavior in a way that would prevent them from enduring future discomfort.

Psychopaths, by contrast, usually commit crimes because they like to dominate or hurt people, they enjoy the thrill of getting away with things, and they prefer to live off the labor of others. Unlike regular criminals who almost invariably have suffered abuse or deprivation in childhood, psychopathic criminals are just as likely to have come from loving, supportive homes as abusive ones.

Dr. William Higgins claims that you "can't negotiate or bargain with psychopaths.”

A psychopath is like a loaded weapon. They should only be handled by professionals.

psychopaths do not seem to benefit from support, counseling or therapy and may in fact commit crimes again and sooner because of it.

Psychopathy can’t be treated! The disease is incurable.
