How to distinguish a psychopath from a shy-chopath

How to distinguish a gefhrlicher irrer from a shy-chopathHow to distinguish a gefhrlicher irrer from a shy-chopathWhat makes a criminal a psychopath?Their grisly deeds and commanding presence attract our attention look no further than Ted Bundy, the subject of a recent Netflix documentary, and cult leaders like Charles Manson.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreBut despite years of theorizing and research, the mental health field continues to hotly debate what are the defining features of this diagnosis. It might come as a surprise that the most widely used psychiatric diagnostic system in the U.S., the DSM-5, doesnt include psychopathy as a formal disorder.As a personality researcher and forensic psychologist, Ive spent the last quarter-century studying psychopaths inside and outside of prisons. Ive also debated what, exactly, are the defining features of psychopathy.Most agree th at psychopaths are remorseless people who lack empathy for others. But in recent years, much of this debate has centered on the relevance of one particular personality trait boldness.Im in the camp that believes boldness is critical to separating out psychopaths from the more mundane law-breakers. Its the trait that creates the veneer of normalcy, giving those who prey on others the mask to successfully blend in with the rest of society. To lack boldness, on the other hand, is to be what one might call a shy-chopath.The boldness factorAbout 10 years ago, psychologist Christopher Patrick and some of his colleagues published an extensive literature review in which they argued that psychopaths were people who expressed elevated levels of three basic traits meanness, disinhibition and boldness.Most experts in the mental health field generally agree that the prototypical psychopath is someone who is both mean and, at least to some extent, disinhibited though theres even some debate abou t exactly how impulsive and hot-headed the prototypical psychopath truly is.In a psychological context, people who are mean tend to lack empathy and have little interest in close emotional relationships. Theyre also happy to use and exploit others for their own personal gain.Highly disinhibited people have very poor impulse control, are prone to boredom and have difficulty managing emotions particularly negative ones, like frustration and hostility.In adding boldness to the mix, Patrick and his colleagues argued that genuine psychopaths are not just mean and disinhibited, theyre also individuals who are poised, fearless, emotionally resilient and socially dominant.Although it had not been the focus of extensive research for the past few decades, the concept of the bold psychopath isnt actually new. Famed psychiatrist Hervey Cleckley described it in his seminal 1941 book, The Mask of Sanity, in which he described numerous case examples of psychopaths who were brazen, fearless and em otionally unflappable.Ted Bundy is an excellent example of such a person. He welches far from unassuming and timid. He never appeared wracked with anxiety or emotional distress. He charmed scores of victims, confidently served as his own attorney and even proposed to his girlfriend while in court.Its probably just being willing to take risk, Bundy said, in the Netflix documentary, of what motivated his crimes. Or perhaps not even seeing risk. Just overcome by that boldness and desire to accomplish a particular thing.Seeds planted in the DSMIn the current DSM, the closest current diagnosis to psychopathy is antisocial personality disorder. Although the manual suggests that it historically has been referred to as psychopathy, the current seven diagnostic criteria for antisocial personality disorder mostly fall under the umbrella of disinhibition qualities like recklessness, impulsiveness and, to a lesser extent, meanness, which are evident in only two criteria lack of remorse and dec eitfulness.Theres no mention of boldness. In other words, you dont have to be bold to have antisocial personality disorder. In fact, because you only need to meet three of the seven criteria to be diagnosed with the disorder, it means you dont even need to be all that mean, either.However, the most recent revision to the DSM, the fifth edition, did include a supplemental section for proposed diagnoses in need of further study.In this supplemental section, a new specifier was offered for those who meet the diagnosis for antisocial personality disorder. If you have a bold and fearless interpersonal style that seems to serve as a mask for your otherwise mean and disinhibited personality, you might also be diagnosable as a psychopath.Can a psychopath be meek?Whether this new model, which seems to put boldness center stage in the diagnosis of psychopathy, ultimately will be adopted into subsequent iterations of the DSM system remains to be seen.Several researchers have criticized the con cept. They see meanness and disinhibition as much more important than boldness when deciding whether someone is a psychopath.Their main issue seems to be that people who are bold but not mean or disinhibited actually seem to be well-adjusted and not particularly violent. In fact, compared with being overly introverted or prone to emotional distress, it seems to be an asset in everyday life.Other researchers, myself included, tend to view those criticisms as not particularly compelling. In our view, someone who is simply disinhibited and mean but not bold would not be able to pull off the spectacular level of manipulation that a psychopath is capable of.To be sure, being mean and disinhibited is a bad combination. But absent boldness, youre probably not going to show up on the evening news for having schemed scores of investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars. The chances that youll successfully charm unsuspecting victim after unsuspecting victim into coming back to your a partment to sexually assault them seem pretty slim.That being said, timid but mean people the shycho-paths almost certainly do exist, and its probably best to stay away from them, too.But youre unlikely to confuse them with the Ted Bundys and Charles Mansons of the world.John Edens, Professor of Psychology, Texas AM University This article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license.

Communication and Professional Image in NetworkingCommunication and Professional Image in NetworkingSuccessful people believe their success is attributable to a pattern of mutually beneficial interpersonal relationships, as much as it is due to technical skills or business knowledge.

How you present, yourself is the first step in building that mutually beneficial network of contacts. Studies about people meeting reveal that most people make decisions about a new acquaintance within the first thirty seconds to two minutes of interaction. It does not give you much time to make a good impression. A study by Dr. Albert Mehrabian at UCLA revealed that when people try to convey meaning through theircommunication with others, the majority of your message is communicated nonverbally and through voice and facial expression. His studies revealed that up to 37 percent of a first impression is based upon the speakers tone of voice.

Public speaking, presentations at meetings, and speaking eloquently in small groups can do more for your career visibility than almost any other opportunity. Promotions also come more frequently to employees who can communicate effectively in person. Project a Professional Image in Writing Your self-presentation via written reports, email, correspondence, and all other forms of written communication are the face you most frequently present in your workplace or professional community. With email correspondence, IMs, texting, and posting to social networks, informality usually rules. Thats a mistake for your professional image. These communication tools at work are formal and professional communication tools and should look like formal communication. In anemail, for example, begin with a greeting (Dear Mary), a closing (Regards), and a signature file that tells who you are, your title, department, work address and telephone number.

Kissing your job goodbye how do I quit

Kissing your job goodbye how do I quit Kissing Your Job Goodbye How Do I Quit?Posted October 13, 2011, by Annie Dang Leaving a job can be just as hard as leaving a relationship. Knowing when to cut your losses and start anew is instinctive for some, but for others its a slow, painful and drawn out process. Packing up your desk and striking out for fresh terrain might be a scary experience, but the pay-offs can be enormous. The most important thing to remember is that, if you do decide to make the break, youll need to go through a process of negotiation so that both parties can minimise animosity and tension. To leave or not to leave As with relationships, most of us stick around in a job long after we know we should. Its familiar, its comfortable and sometimes its just easier to stay. Even if all the signs point towards the exit, we continue to drag ourselves through the daily grind, pretending that everything is just fine. So how do you answer the all-important question Should I sta y or should I go? Writing a list of pros and cons can often sort out mixed emotions and help when people are making decisions about their love life. Why not do the saatkorn with your job? It will help you decide whether to stay or go and will save your work colleagues from sitting through hours of listening to your grievances. Remember, working relationships have expiry dates as well. Excuses for staying Often we stay in relationships (personal and professional) because of fear fear that we wont find something or someone else, fear that no-one else will want us, and sometimes fear of not knowing what will happen next. Other times we stay because weve invested time in the relationship and dont want to go through the hassle of starting all over again. We know all the little nuances of the job how everyone at work likes their coffee, how to use the quirky filing system, and what all those in-house acronyms mean. This is where the question of the old and familiar versus the new and ex citing arises. New relationships bring interesting challenges and exciting opportunities, which give you a new lease of life. Current relationships, like current jobs, may be familiar, but if it isnt working then maybe it is time to be brave, overcome your fear, and make a move. SOS relationship therapy Like relationships of the heart, working relationships are a two-way street. But what happens when we reach a crossroad or even hit a dead end? Before you consider ending the relationship completely, you might want to pull over and get some therapy. First step talk it over. Sit down with your boss, discuss your concerns and talk things through you might be surprised he or she may really want to keep you and might even look at ways you can both improve your work situation. If your relationship with your boss is on shaky ground, you can always call in the career advice experts human resources (HR) to mediate discussions between you and your boss. Saying goodbye Once weve made the decision to leave, making sure the break-up is as smooth as possible is what most of us aim to do. But what do we say to our soon to be ex-boss at the end of a working relationship? Awkwardness and uncomfortable stand-offs can become the norm in work break-ups just as in relationship break-ups. Telling your boss that he or she is an inconsiderate, insensitive imbecile is neither helpful nor professional. Making a dramatic exit may be tempting but burning your bridges will only hurt your career in the long run. So forget the idea of sending a text message or leaving a post-it note stuck to your bosss computer. While it may be easier to do this, such goodbyes wont help your chances of getting a future job reference. When it comes to making an announcement of your departure, avoid the temptation to spread the news around the office before you have informed the boss. Organising a time to speak with your boss about your decision is better than abruptly announcing it as he or she is rushi ng out of the office. A face-to-face discussion with your employer with a well-constructed resignation letter in hand is a simple and stylish way of saying goodbye. No matter how bad your relationship has become, your boss will appreciate that you have been honest. Furthermore, it is professional and your employer will have a good lasting impression of you no matter what difficulties youve had in the past. People dont remember how you started but they sure remember how you left. And while youre at it, its a nice gesture to leave your contact details in case your employer has any questions about the work you were doing before you left.
