If you are a medical practiioner, I believe you should
be familiar with psychopaths. The Abel of the Bible, the Cleopatra
of Egypt, or the King of England who invented the church of England, are
only the well known psychopaths. Psychopaths are in fact more common than
anorexia nervosa. The typical victim of a psychopath is a lover, parent,
or sibling. These types will not think twice, in order to obtain what they
want, to plant evidence that may put a sibling or parent in prison. These
people are so convincing some can move their listeners to tears as they make
themselves out as a victim (of a situation or incident). Legal firms that
are operated by psychopaths are perhaps one of most dangerous threats to
society. A psychopath has no conscience. A psychopath makes out his (or her)
victims as the culprit(s). A psychopath will lie under oath without blinking.
If such a person is a lawyer, after one lie after another in court they may
stick their business card out and say "my word as a lawyer". That seems to
clinch whatever he or she is after. Some researchers, typically psychologists,
have devoted decades of effort to understand this type of personality and
there are some extremely informative books on the subject.
