Quote:So, in your words, if they're untreatable then what should be done with them?.
Today it’s pretty much accepted that true psychopaths are untreatable. From treatments or rehabilitation, they simply learn how to be ‘better’ psychopaths. They are simply wired up differently from the rest of us. Some of the attempts to rehabilitate fully blown psychopaths and release them into society are, umm, well, interesting – to say the least.
Bear in mind that not all psychopaths are of the child murdering throat slitting variety. Many psychopaths know how to play by the rules and live their lives amongst us (it is said a high proportion of CEOs and company chairmen are psychopathic). Psychopaths are simply extreme sociopaths totally without conscience. Conscience is not something they can understand and they are not capable of it.
That’s the long answer. The short answer is make sure they can do no harm. If they have failed to live by the rules you lock em up for life. There's no point at any attempt to rehabilitate, and I dont believe in the death sentence (you need a fucking sociopath to carry it out FFS!)
Oh, how about Theresa May? She’s a possible psychopath. Though personally I suspect she merely suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder, ditto Donald Trump.
Psychopaths, sociopaths and narcissists are all often extremely good at observation and working out what people want and how to charm them. They are very often experts at telling people what they want to hear in a very convincing manner. If highly intelligent, like Tony Blair, they have an awful habit of rising to the top of the shit heap.
