les 4 types de psychopathes
1) Prim
2) Secon
3) Distempered
4) CHarismatic
Prim psycho
- …do not respond to punishment, apprehension, stress, or disapproval.
- They seem to be able to inhibit their antisocial impulses most of the time, not
because of conscience, but because it suits their purpose at the time. - Words do not seem to have the same meaning for them as they do for us.
- In fact, it’s unclear if they even grasp the meaning of their own words, a condition that Hervey Cleckley called “semantic aphasia.”
- They don’t follow any life plan, and it seems as if they are incapable of experiencing any genuine emotion.
Sec psycho
- …are risk-takers, but are also more likely to be stress-reactive, worriers, and guilt prone.
- They expose themselves to more stress than the average person, but they are as vulnerable to stress as the average person.
- They are daring, adventurous, unconventional people who began playing by their own rules early in life.
- They are strongly driven by a desire to escape or avoid pain, but are unable to resist temptation.
- As their anxiety increases toward some forbidden object, so does their attraction to it.
- They live their lives by the lure of temptation.
Distempered psycho
- are the kind that seem to fly into a rage or frenzy more easily and more often than other subtypes.
- Their frenzy will resemble an epileptic fit.
- They are also usually men with incredibly strong sex drives, capable of astonishing feats of sexual energy, and seemingly obsessed by sexual urges during a large part of their waking lives.
- Powerful cravings also seem to characterize them, as in drug addiction, kleptomania, pedophilia, any illicit or illegal indulgence.
- They like the endorphin “high” or “rush” off of excitement and risk-taking.
- The serial-rapist-murderer known as the Boston Strangler was such a psychopath.
Charismatic psycho
- are charming, attractive liars.
- They are usually gifted at some talent or another, and they use it to their advantage in manipulating others.
- They are usually fast-talkers, and possess an almost demonic ability to persuade others out of everything they own, even their lives.
- Leaders of religious sects or cults, for example, might be psychopaths if they lead their followers to their deaths.
- This subtype often comes to believe in their own fictions.
- They are irresistible.
