Is Your Child a Psychopath

 Why did the parents not take any actions quicker, the parents obviously knew there was a
problem, but they did not take any actions
 The psychologists all had different perspectives and diagnosis', shouldn't there be a
common ground in all their observations
 Samantha had a concept of death, and on multiple occasions said she wanted to kill people,
all her family, and yet the parents saw her as incapable
 Could no one take her murderous calls to actions as nothing because she is only a "child"
 Just because an option is rare, should we completely rule out any possibility of it in the
beginning, or should we always consider every single option, no matter how far reaching it
is
 If we give diagnosis of people devoid of good emotion, how have we not sought every
method to reform
 Are some people able to be reformed?
 Callous and unemotional traits, how quaint that we can just say that about people, and yet
when an actual psychopath is presented- these are considered rare
 Psychopaths commit half of all violent crimes
 If you ignore a problem, the blood is on your hands, so how many problems have you truly
caused in your life- seeing any problems and doing nothing
 Is nature vs nurture truly a thing, can nurture change nature, or is someone with these bad
traits DESTINED to be a psychopath
 4/5 kids grow out of the traits- how the fuck can that happen
 You can spot an early psychopath at age 3? That seems a bit far fetched, but necessary to
examine possibly
 I committed early violence, am I a psychopath who grew out of it?
 Beating teachers unconscious- that’s common seems like a far stretch? Where was this
research
 Two neural abnormalities, where did these come from, are psychopaths mutants? Evolution
still taking place?
 Psychopaths brains are treated as weaker muscles, not the same brains, so how do kids
grow out of it, and is reform possible, how can that 1 kid not be trained enough to grow out
of it like the rest
 Is not having fear a true sign of psychopathy, or could this be a good thing entirely if
isolated, or the most fearful part of all
 "A lack of fear, leads to committing fearful acts"
 Arousal gag seems to be apart of everyone's life
 Overactive reward system, is gambling addictions apart of a psychopath?
 All of these cues are apart of natural life and people in varied, singular forms, how are kids
caught with every single one?
 Should we stop punishing bad behaviors, but instead reward more good ones? Or would
this only blow up in our faces

Thomas Ogden:
 Pg. 25, projective identification
  Paranoid- schizo mode causes transmission of their feelings onto other people, as a form of
coping
 Human experience isn't interpreted the same
 Humans and their emotions, are interpreted as the environment, and objects which can be
blocked from the paranoid schizo entirely
 Why are some people treated as lost causes
 The vocabulary is formatted in a different perspective
 Paranoid- schizo doesn't process information the same
 Paranoid- schizos are unable to process regular human emotion, and therefore punishment
as a child don’t do much for them in terms of repromendment
 Emotions are blocked or not processed about the other person to protect the mind of the
schizo
 Splitting is a result from protecting the shcizo from getting hurt
 Those in these states make their own truth
 IN DISCUSSION
 Projecting is a coping mechanism to give what emotions the schizo feels
to the other person
 Why can they only feel these emotions and give them to others
 The schizo is callous with no emotions and cant process how other people
feel, so they only see how they feel in other people
 They transfer their emotions to others, and try to manipulate the other
person
 People being projected upon figure out they are in a game, and because of
this is it best to play along or use it to help the person
 In answer to that from the article, the recipient feels controlled from
within, unable to stop them
 The unconscious controls many of their actions, and is hard to come back from
 People can be helped, others cannot
 Why can some people be helped, and others are just given up on
 Where did the power of rewriting history come from, for the paranoid schizo to have that
much protection
 Is being a psychopath a natural step of evolution, to live without fear

TED Talk
 The music is used to inspire feelings following the drawings
 Are the drawings used to push how a psychotic person views the world?
 The person who faked being mentally ill to escape prison, definitely has to still be
considered a psychotic, due to all his mannerisms lining up with that of a psychotic
 Would a normal person think of all his actions?
 Are institutions that are helping the psychotic, actually pushing them to become more
psychotic
 If people were always skeptic of his mental health being fine, and actually not in need of
assistance, why did people do nothing to step in earlier
 The whole presentation seemed to be presented in an almost comical nature
 Faking your brain going wrong, is your brain going wrong- quote
 Why is not hanging out with people a sign of psychopathy, when other psychopaths had
to be around people- aka Ted Bundy having a whole family
 He stayed away from actual psychopaths and killers because he was afraid and it pushed
the mental institute to push treatment further
 Capitalism is a reward of psychopathy
 Most big businessmen are psychopaths
 When the speaker talked to a real psychopath, he was shocked when he got questions
responses like who wants to be held down by nonsense emotions
 Why do psychopaths, when shown they are such, still not accept help and deny any sign
that they are irregular
