I'm slowly unraveling the mystery of psychopathy, (father), in my family of origin & why, (even though I'm not a psychopath), the lack of conscience is/was present in 2 siblings & my eldest, (now adult), offspring. All those years figuratively fluctuating between trying to understand & pulling my hair out wouldn't have changed a thing. They were going to do what they were going to do, regardless. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and insight.
I think ethically it's hard to say there are psychopathic children - but I think it's a bit naive to say there are none and there's never been a psychopathic child. Lots of children probably do exhibit anti-social behaviour, but in many it's symptoms of other things, and the behaviours can be treated. I don't believe that is the case with every child though.
Fairly obviously there's a structure to someone's psyche that will always end in them having psychopathic traits but it's the "perfect storm" of events in their life that structures the resulting "serial killer" conclusion and the degrees of other ones. Dave Pelzer is the best example of someone who "should've" turned out like that if you're basing it on learning, but didn't.
So scary to see many psychopathic traits in my stepson. He shows no remorse or guilt for the horrible things he continues to do. Its so isolating being a parent to one because its hard to find anyone that can relate. The judgement is swift and harsh whenever he offends
Yes, a child can have a psychopathic nature. In fact, it's common. All you have to do is observe school yard behavior and you will clearly see a lack of empathy in many children. Most outgrow it and mature, but many don't and become the psychopaths we encounter everyday.
Children of NPD or BPD parents can become psychopaths or sociopaths eventually. Specifically where severe and toxic parental alienation is going on, they learn early in life how to get what they want from the good and caring parent by scaring them with various overt and very toxic and covert threats. This is an early taste of power to them and they start building up from there. Sad this goes unnoticed.
@@gretchenk.2516 toxic parents impact kids one way or other, lucky are those who move out of home, realise how toxic their parents are and heal themselves from that trauma by keeping ego aside and aspire for better future.
They can have Callous and unemotional traits. But so far I know 50% of those children turn out "normal" in the end and just the other 50% get psychopaths when they grow up. So you don't call children psychopath, because those traits still can outgrow.
They are described as emotionally unstable. One child taken out of school at five for intense support happily caused harm to other children in a deliberate calculated manner. One occasion he bided his time & launched scolding tea over another child who said something to him he didn't like. He was sweet until things didn't go his way. He laughed after throwing the scolding drink. He would whisper things to other children they would explode in anger he watched the drama innocently. A child like this does exist, you cannot correct the disorder you can one manage them with strict rules, punishment has no effect, you train them to avoid punishment is all.
A doctor who doesn't blame the parents and trauma. He has observed the indicators pointing to the wiring, the genetics, the learning. Shows that the "building blocks" are most responsible.
My god there are a lot of stupid people in the comments who think they know more than the experts. Like, gee, thanks Kathy from Walmart for your valuable insights into human psychology.
@@salem587 Conscience. He was talking about a conscience earlier, he was talking about a conscience in that comment. Look up the words consciousness and conscience, they are not the same thing, not at all. Suggesting that people are not conscious (lack a consciousness) until they're 5 or 6 would be ridiculous, insane.
Is psychopathy or sociopathy a spectrum condition? My step-son appears to have many of the traits, though he has never been given to violence, deliberately harmed animals (as far as we know) and doesn't appear to have sadistic tendencies. But he certainly seems to lack conscience, and he rarely seems to demonstrate remorse, shame and guilt. He is a risk taker, is extremely selfish and self serving, readily lies to close family, and he generally seeks to live a very reckless and hedonistic life.
I would like to know if there is a link with children with ODD/ADHD and sociopathic or psychopathic tendencies. My fiance has a 10 year old son and he has a lot of traits of both a psycho and sociopath.
Yes ODD is what a child is diagnosed with when have similar personality traits to a psychopath. But not ADHD! ADHD though is related to Autism. You can have multiple conditions going on!
No actually, psychopaths actually fit in very well in society (unless you are a killer, or have violent personality), there are a lot of different types of psychopaths, in the check list of Robert Hare, some factors in that list maybe higher (be extreme) and some may be lower. But all psychopaths have no empathy or remorse, otherwise you just have an antisocial personality and you are not a psychopath. :)
psychopaths fit fine into any part of society...for a short period of time. Then when their ruse is found out, they pack up and move on to the next unsuspecting place. Of course in today's age, with the internet and social media, that is going to become increasingly difficult.
@@cybernautadventurer you are talking about aspd but psychopathy is like the extreme end of the spectrum psychopaths represent 20 to 30% of people with aspd it's extremley rare and they don't fit into society.you need to be carefull when you are dealling with someone with aspd but if you ever meet a psychopath just run as fast as you can
Yes. I have spent time with 5 kids daily for 2 years. Tutoring em They don't have sense of responsibility, mercy, logic, compassion, fear, guilt, respect. They only hate and afraid to lose their control over everything. Not to mention being dumbfounded most of the times. Ask your kids what date is it today, everyday. Try. They will get it wrong everytime Kids are stubborn. Some of them can't be reasoned with. Manipulative kids are sociopaths. And kids who tend to cry, even there is no physical abuse, might be psychos They never listen. But some words or tones of saying, might actually make them uneasy. They cry not because they're sad. Because they don't want to hear it anymore, they want it to stop. Edginess
Can't locate it anatomically...means the soul..they cannot locate the soul but they know its controlling things in behavior. The persons inborn soul or demon posession?...you decide.😨😔
I feel guilty running over a lizard 🦎 while riding my bike 🚲 does that mean I’m not a psychopath & sociopath? I tend to feel guilty & anxious very easily & I’m also very impulsive In decision making
I like to ask this question because I’m honestly curious and I like the answers I get. No judgment here. Why does it seem like just about every or at least a bunch of psychopaths and sociopaths have the blank eyes? I don’t get it.
This is all future. We can't regrow parts of the brain at the moment. People with that kind of problem should go to a professionell for psychopaths. There aren't many experts for it out there, but they exist.
Is it possible to train a child to exercise learned self control just like you train a dangerous dog to respond to situations without causing harm to others.
No, it is an inherent personality disorder; you cannot "contract" it so to speak. A victim could suffer from PTSD from the traumatic experience though.
I am not sadistic.. I don't have much empathy though but I saw people laughing when someone got hurt I didn't find it funny but i didn't really care the person was hurt but I laughed to fit in. But then someone cut their arm and he started crying and i kept laughing cause i didn't know and then everyone looked at me funny so i stopped.
I just have that i don't care if anyones hurt. Maybe i would ask if they are okay, but i don't really care like if someone's crying. Most of the time it's because i don't know how to act/react to it. Like if it was my friend or family i would like care, but i just don't know how much
ok thinka bout it ....what type of person says someone is a creep and a self centered jerk . well , someone who obviously isnt a nice person . so dont do it
Hannibal Lecter wasn't born a psychpath either, 'Hannibal Rising' gives a great insight into the way he turned, from a boy who adored his family esp. his little sister, - into a monster, thanks to the intervention of some cannibalistic Lithuanian gygpies. You could sympathise & indeed, almost forgive him, for his later atrocities.
A born psychopath(rare as hen's teeth) is the most dangerous one and family knows first and will try to cover this due to shame. Scientist will probably find eventually a treatment or drug that will mimic sympathy/compassion, same way they have found a treatment for bipolarity. These born ones, will show later as cold blooded killers. Very sick and sad indeed.
CC's World AUSTRALIA 1st: Around 1 out of 100 people are psychopaths, so not that rare. 2nd: They are not murderer, well not the smart ones at least. The smart ones are CEOs of companies, politicians or other leading positions. Apparently 14% of psychopaths are in leading positions.
It's a defect in the brain. It's a problem with the connection in the brain from the frontal lobe to the amygdala. They simply experience empathy love and emotions different from the normal (to standards) human being. So the big debate is can they help it or is it something natural. If it is a natural thing can they be held responsible in the sense they cannot help there natural instincts the same way a crocodile cannot a crocodile only lives to kill eat and breed nothing more it's natural. It's estimated 1 in 200 people in the United States are Psychopaths and the majority of them are not serial killers or insane so this just shows how complex this issue is. And should not be held to the opinions and standards of uneducated individuals like a lot of the people on here in the comments.
+StriperMc: Good info. I'd argue they can and *should* be held accountable when they hurt others. They may not "understand" on an emotional level, but they do in a cognitive way. From my understanding, they can (and often, albeit ultimately for *their* benefit) learn to mimic and behave in a social - or less anti-social - way. And after all, societies are upheld by rules and restraints that condemn inflicting pain. We all - excepting the mentally ill and small children - have to follow them or suffer the consequences, socially and/or legally.
Melissa Lang i like your idea but the problem lies in the fact that they dont understand emotionally to picture it its like when your mother said you couldn't do something because you said so know you shouldnt but they just dont know why so as a kid they dont understand and havent learned why something is bad they know they shouldnt but they just dont get why they do not understand why its so bad
My husband is a psychopath. And both my son and daughter are in jail. I am an empath. I was told by a psychologist. I quit my job as a nurse and raised both children. While the psychopath was at work. They didn’t pick empathy over psychopathy?!?!?!?! It’s genetic 100% why do people keep saying it’s the parents?!?!?!?! I did nothing wrong. They are criminals both of them. They started changing at age 12. My son was doing drugs at age 13. Drug dealer now at age 15. I didn’t know what a narcissist was until recently. Evil pure evil !!!!
Idk what I am I like blood but my own I ain't a beast I listen to phsycopath music.

Nothing we no of yet. Most scientists think that they have certain areas of the brain missing. But if I would be a scientist I would try oxytocin on them.
What is wrong with these so called professionals? They can have all the traits as children but shouldn't be diagnosed til they're adults??? That doesn't even make any logical sense to me! Lets wait until they get a chance to do something serious and end up in jail where they are forced to be diagnosed because there is no way an actual psychopath is going to seek help and say they have a problem. And when they are adults what can anyone possibly do to help them even though they wouldn't want help because they'd think there's something wrong with us not with them
I think the reason for that is that children are young enough to still go down a different route if those around them are able to recognize troubling behavior early on and make more of an effort to give them the help they need to grow up to be decent people. It's easier to make impactful changes in a child than an adult. I don't think the mindset necessarily changes completely, but it's more important that these kids are taught to not actually act on dangerous ideas - thinking one thing, acting is another. Even if they are indifferent about others, self-preservation will be a priority for a rational psychopath. It's important to realize though that not all psychopathic people are violent or even "bad", many are fully functional members of society. It all depends on how they use their traits to their advantage for good or bad.
1980fate they wait because they hope that the child like you said will mature so if a child is diagnosed then grows out of it then what is it? psycopath or not?
Look up the child of rage. She had severe mental issues, due to being abused by her father. But this pastor and wife adopted her, loved on her, I'm sure prayed for her, and took her to therapy/counseling. And she is doing MUCH better now.
+Misael Pena it can be. Because people lack empathy and the traditional multidimensional emotions we have they have an outside perspective on emotion because they arent influenced by it. Because of this outside perspective they are able to manipulate these emotions for themselves because they are able to learn, study, and use them at will because they dont need to hide natural emotions that would otherwise give away someone who is normal. Psychopaths are intelligent but very self serving and one dimensional, because they lack empathy for others they are incapable of forming legitimate relationships with others and all that is left is to self serve as far as their purpose, and because they lack empathy they cannot help but manipulate and do bad things to prop themselves up because their only purpose is themselves, and its easier to simply ignore the roadblocks that empathy creates to self-serving, and therefore instead of following these rules that they dont really understand, why not just ignore them? That is why psychopaths are dangerous.
