On Psychopaths

Have started a discussion on the Facebook Page on psychopaths.What does a psychopath mean to you? Who is a psychopath? Do join in and share your views.The topic stems from the need to correct an impression that all psychopaths are rapists, wanton killers and clearly a menace to society.

All rapists, murderers and serial killers are most likely to be psychopaths but it does not follow that all psychopaths are rapists or serial killers. Colonel Belliappa , in my book, is once referred to as a “charismatic psychopath” by his doctor, Col. Sinha. I have followed the writings and research of Dr. Robert Hare, Emeritus Professor of Psychology at the University of British Columbia to come to this conclusion.
