    Mentalization shows promise moderating psychopathic aggression

    April 1, 2013 / No Comments

    The lack of affective responsiveness to others’ mental states – one of the hallmarks of psychopathy – is thought to give rise to increased interpersonal aggression. Attachment-Related Mentalization Moderates the Relationship Between Psychopathic Traits and Proactive Aggression in Adolescence. Taubner S, White LO, Zimmermann J, Fonagy P, Nolte T. Source Department of Psychology, University of Kassel, Kassel, Germany, Svenja.taubner@uni-kassel.de. Abstract The lack of affective responsiveness to others’ mental states – one of the hallmarks of psychopathy – is thought to give rise to increased interpersonal aggression. Recent models of psychopathy highlight deficits in attachment security that may, in turn, impede the development of relating to others in terms of mental…

    The Psychopathic Self-Help Expert

    January 25, 2012 / No Comments

    When I was researching NPD and BPD co-morbidity, I stumbled on this interesting blog post about the self-proclaimed NPD expert Sam Vaknin. I don’t do much in the NPD world because I believe that BPD and NPD is essentially incompatible, despite what other people on the Internet say and despite even some studies. The experts that I’ve spoken with basically agree with me, but not all of them. I think there’s something of a split on the subject. Anyhow, here is an excerpt from the blog post (it’s long so I didn’t copy all of it). Are you sick of seeing the same Psychopath posting all over the web when…

    BPD Myth Busting: 7 common myths about Borderline Personality Disorder

    August 16, 2011 / 2 Comments

    Bon debunks 7 common myths about Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Myth 1: BPD is untreatable Borderline Personality Disorder is treatable and in the past 15 years numerous evidence-based treatments have been designed to treat the disorder. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mentalization-based therapy and Transference-focused therapy have all been shown to improve the behavior, cognitive abilities and functioning of people with BPD. Myth 2: BPD only affects women A recent study by the NIAAA showed that the lifetime incidence of BPD was essentially equal in men and women. It has been widely accepted for many years that the gender breakdown of BPD is 75% female. It seems that the only reason…

    ABC News Experts talk about Casey Anthony’s potential disorder

    July 19, 2011 / No Comments

    An article from ABC News about Casey Anthony’s pathological lying and the disorder from which it may arise. Before I supply the text here, I want to discuss this quote: Two of the potential issues Anthony could suffer from are border personality disorder and psychopathology, the experts said. The main thing these issues have in common is a total lack of empathy, according to LeslieBeth Wish, a psychologist and licensed social worker in Sarasota, Fla. “They can turn a person into a non-person,” Wish said. “Borderline personalities have more emotional regulation problem and often use lying to get away from something and not ever feeling like they’re responsible.” Those two potential issues…

    Casey Anthony found not guilty, yet what’s wrong with her?

    July 6, 2011 / 3 Comments

    A few weeks ago I posted an article entitled Casey Anthony: Borderline Personality Disorder, a Psychopath or What? This “analysis” garnered a lot of attention (or at least a lot of traffic) for me. I found that yesterday was the busiest day on my blog ever with over 400 views of that article alone (usually I get about 600 daily views of my blog so this was unusual). Of course anyone that has followed the Casey Anthony trial knows why – she was acquitted of first degree murder and aggravated child abuse, but was convicted of four misdemeanor charges of making false statements to the police. I watched about half of…
