Abigail Marsh on Psychopaths

I don't think any psychopathy researcher I've ever met says that there's any kind of tell in casual conversation that can reliably indicate that somebody is psychopathic because people who are psychopathic are shapeshifters. And this is not true of everybody, right? But the but most of the psychopathic people that I've worked with in the work that I do will say that they mask uh in most interactions that they're in. And now the good fight. with Yasha Monk.

What is a psychopath? Is there a difference between a psychopath and a sociopath? Can you recognize the lack of care for other human beings, a likelihood to engage in terrible, violent behaviors later in life? in children as young as two or three years old? If that is the case, is it possible to intervene with the right treatments, with the right therapy?

Is the cause of psychopathy genetic? Or is it that parents have done something wrong in their upbringing of those children? And what are the social impacts of psychopathic traits? Are psychopaths overrepresented in the ranks of successful people like CEOs? And how overrepresented are they in the ranks of less successful people like those in jail?
