Agreed. Came here to say this. Furthermore if psychology had any predictive power at all, a charge such as this might under certain circumstances bear some meaning. Instead, it is rife with 'stories' and tautologies. Numerous mass murderers have been under psychiatric evaluation and were not flagged as a danger. This is a catastrophic, first order failure.
The entire field makes economics look rigorous.
- zitterbewegung 10y agoI don't have an issue with psychology. I have an issue with people without qualifications diagnosing people and demonization. It really hurts people with psychological disorders by generating stigma and negative connotations .
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoI think its fair to demonize sociopaths. The stigma is deserved.

- JoeAltmaier 10y agoYup. Because they are dangerous. A rabid dog isn't responsible for what it is; still, its good policy to put them down.

- NikolaeVarius 10y agoWhy? I never understood the need to demonize sociopathy. They're not hurting anyone by the sole fact that they are a sociopath.
