>because it paints a picture of someone with psychopathic tendencies.
I'm so tired of this. The article making that claim about CEOs being psychopaths has been latched into in pop culture so hard and yet it's roundly thought of as, at best, an incredible overstep of applied psychiatry.
Just because someone doesn't care about you doesn't mean they're incapable, they could just be a dick.
- lamontcg 5y agoAt what point does someone who is consistently a dick become a diagnosable sociopath?
- parineum 5y agoThat's for psychiatrists with a personal familiarity with the patient to determine. A reputable professional wouldn't diagnose from a distance and everyone else is covered by HIPAA.
- lamontcg 5y agoWell that's super convenient for sociopaths, glad we're ensuring that they don't suffer from any criticism at all. Same with the assholes who get misdiagnosed from a distance as sociopaths. Must protect our most vulnerable members of society.
