6.Have
you ever heard of an exorcism being performed on a psychopath? Do you think
this might be a viable option to try? (I mean in jail and not used as
rehabilitation for possible release.)
I have never heard any case of psychopathy being “cured” by any means. Since
psychopaths are not delusional, I do not believe that psychopathy can be
“cured” through an exorcism. Although
there are occasional cases, psychopaths normally do not report being
“possessed” by entities, and even those that do, like Son of Sam, the Night
Stalker, or Danny Rolling, the sincerity of their claim of possession is in
question. |

Life Events And The Criminal Mind
A lone child is balled in a corner squinting against
relentless sunlight at a flock of birds that pass overhead.
The boy’s hands move up to crowd his ears against the violent
rasp of children mocking him in the nearby schoolyard.
Does he imagine reaching up to snatch a bird from the sky,
snatch a child from the crowd, or snatch himself from the arms of an abusive
father?
What’s going through his mind?
Maybe he’s thinking he wants to hurt something or someone
because inflicting pain will make him feel better. |

1. RSB: I've read different answers to the question, "What is the difference between a sociopath and a psychopath." Some say they are the same. Do you agree? My understanding is that a sociopath can be a psychopath, but not always, yet a psychopath is always a sociopath. Is this incorrect?
PV: I would not agree that a psychopath is always a sociopath, although many sociopaths are indeed psychopaths. Nobody seems to be in agreement on this issue and the current standard diagnostic manual in American psychiatry, the |

 People should learn to see and so avoid all danger.Just as a wise man keeps away from mad dogs,one should not make friends with an evil man. --Buddha
Caution: This is not a how to guide to survival, but more so information based on FBI interviews with serial killers and those who managed to survive. The following information presents some of the options available. All have risks involved, are not fool proof methods, are not recommendations from either the myself or Peter Vronsky, the author of "Serial Killers. |

From “The Sociopath Next Door,” Martha Stout, PHD
 1. Accept that some people literally have no conscience. 2. In a contest between your instincts and what is implied by the role a person has taken on–educator, doctor, leader, animal lover, humanist, parent–go with your instincts. 3. When considering a new relationship of any kind, practice the |

Review Of first six rules: 1) Accept that some people have no conscience. 2) Trust your instincts. 3) Practice the Rule of Threes. 4) Question authority. 5) Suspect flattery 6) If necessary, redefine your concept of respect.
Rules 7-9 7) Don’t Join The Game. Intrigue is a sociopath’s tool. Resist the temptation to compete with a seductive sociopath. Trying to outsmart, psychoanalyze or even banter with a sociopath can easily draw you in and distract you from protecting yourself. |

This is part two of the blog, "Thirteen ways for Dealing With Sociopaths In Every Day Life." Keeping in mind that 1 in 25 people is a sociopath, you most often connect with a sociopath at least once every day. The charisma that they most often exude can make it difficult to identify the sociopath beneath the mask.
Rules 1-3:
1.Accepting that some people have no conscience. |

RULES 1-3
 1)Accepting That Certain People Have No Conscience.
Let's face it. We want to believe that sociopaths look like monsters. We look at people like Charles Mansion and can say, "Well, of course, just look at him." But what about people like Jeffrey Dahmer? Ted Bundy? Your next door neighbor? Just by appearence, youwouldn't think that, say, Bundy--an up and coming darling of the Washington State Republicans, the guy who sat next to crime writer, Ann Rule on a suicide crisis hot line, the handsome stranger with a cast--was a sadistic rapist and murderer. |

Unfortunately, during my last few years as a dental hygienist, I worked for a couple of sociopaths. Statistics show that 1 in 25 bosses are sociopaths. Is yours? How can you tell?
Listed below are the twenty signs of psychopathy by Robert Hale. A person doesn't need to have twenty to be a psychopath--but take a look at these qualities and see how your boss fits or does fit. You may be surprised.

For the last few months, I've been researching the criminal mind (see thecriminalmind.us). I have to admit, the people who know me were a little surprised to see how far sweet little ole' me can delve into such dark territory and with such passion. There's a reason why shows such as Criminal Minds, NCIS, CSI, 48 Hours, Dark MInds, Dexter and more are so popular. We want to know. Most of us have a difficult time looking into our own darkness--who we really are when no one's looking. |
