Psychopathy
Psychopathy has been known as a personality disorder, indicative of a lack of empathy, a marked lack of moral conduct, all the while keeping a facade of normalcy.
In the Handbook of Psychopathy, Christopher Patrick says there is no one cure or treatment, no medication that can instill empathy. Talk therapy makes psychopaths more manipulating.
The psychopath has many shortcomings in interpersonal relationships, self-control and emotion. They can get satisfaction through anti-social behavior, doing away with shame, guilt or remorse for their actions. Psychopaths put plenty of space between them and awareness of the harm levied on another. They, instead, rationalize behavior, blame someone else, or out-and-out deny. Their lack of empathy results in tactlessness, insensitivity and contemptuosness. This causes problems making a first impression.
Psychopaths have superficial charm, to say things, no holds barred, the value of the performative is paramount, little concern for the truth. A shallow quality makes emotion short-lived, glib and egocentric, with an overall cold demeanor. Behavior is impulsive and irresponsible. They have trouble keeping a job or default on debts. Psychopaths have a distorted sense of consequence to their action on others and themselves. They hardly know the risk of getting caught, disbelieved or injured because of their action.
