Psychopaths are characterized by their tendency to be mean, disinhibited, and bold. They are disproportionately the perpetrators of violent crimes and subsequently make up a large proportion of the prison population. Indeed, about 93 percent of psychopaths are in jail, prison, on parole, or on probation. However, some psychopaths remain unincarcerated and lead successful and socially-integrated lives. This latter category is called successful psychopaths. Indeed, many people at the upper echelons of society score high in psychopathy.

Sociopaths, Psychopaths, & Narcissists! Feat: Dr. James Fallon's "Life as a Nonviolent Psychopath"
Episode 165 of Tony Overbay, LMFT’s “The Virtual Couch Podcast.” One of the requests that I receive the most is to do an episode on psychopaths vs. sociopaths or narcissists. In this episode, I cover all three, including a fascinating article in The Atlantic, “Life as a Nonviolent Psychopath” https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/01/life-as-a-nonviolent-psychopath/282271/ where interviewer Judith Ohikuare talks to American neuroscientist Dr. James Fallon. Dr. Fallon is a professor of psychiatry and human behavior and emeritus professor of anatomy and neurobiology at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine. Dr. Fallon found an amazing discovery when he looked at functional brain scans of a control group for Alzheimer’s research alongside scans of…

5 Terrifying Ways Narcissists and Psychopaths Manufacture Chaos and Provoke You
With Halloween approaching, it’s high time to remember that nothing is scarier than a narcissist or psychopath’s emotional vampirism, or their true self unmasked. Ghouls, vampires, ghosts, and monsters under the bed simply do not compare to the real-life monsters who may be lurking in your bed. Narcissists and psychopaths manufacture chaos to keep you focused on them and only them. They know they cannot sustain your interest in them long-term because they rely on a false mask to navigate the world. Manufactured chaos allows malignant narcissists to keep you on the hamster wheel of trying to figure out their intentions and second-guessing yourself. They try to train you to…

Senior Executives Are More Likely To Be Psychopaths
Did you think that your boss might be a psychopath? You might be on to something. About 1 percent of the population may qualify as having psychopathic behavior, while among senior executives, that rate climbs to 3.5 percent. This all may make sense, as psychopaths tend to be focused on status, money, and power. That’s not to say that someone who is focused on those three things is a psychopath; it’s just that psychopaths tend to be focused on them more than the average person. There is a term for people in executive positions that display psychopathic behaviors — “corporate psychopaths.” The route to being a psychopathic senior executive may…

Why women are attracted to psychopaths
When James Fallon walks into a bar, ladies take notice. “I’ll be surrounded by young women,” the neuroscientist tells The Post. Once he’s got their attention, he’ll regale them with stories of his “interesting life” and dole out compliments “sparingly.” “My wife will say, ‘There you go again, you know you got ’em . . . Playing this game where they all fall in love with you.’” Fallon’s je ne sais quoi isn’t about his looks: The 72-year-old academic isn’t exactly Brad Pitt. So, what’s the root of his charm? Probably that he’s a psychopath. “People are enraptured,” says Fallon, who was diagnosed with the disorder after recognizing his own…
