Great new episode, exploring in depth the nature of psychopathy, how we define it and it matters.
This is the 1st part of two parter - next week, I will be applying what has been discussed in this episode to the world of James Bond.
We tend to have a sense in society of what is meant by psychopath - ruthlessly mean, angry, vicious, selfish - but the truth is much more complex and nuanced.
During this episode, I dive deeper into the world and ask:
- What is a psychopath?
- Can you be officially diagnosed as a psychopath?
- What's the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath?
- What is Antisocial Behavioural Disorder?
- What are the 4 core components of psychopathy?
- What is the psychopath checklist?
- How common is psychopathy?
- How does society shape and effect psychopaths?
- How do we empathise and exist with psychopaths?
Super proud of this one, check it, and look out for the next weeks James Bond psychopath episode!
