It seems like people tend to research psychopathy and other personality disorders after they’ve been burned. I have decided to repost an entry from last year that examines some of the reasons why there is so little psychopathy awareness in the general public. Ideally, this information can reach the general public, so people can spot the symptoms of dangerous personality disorders before they get harmed. Perhaps because they’re so dangerous and destructive—the closest approximation to metaphysical evil that human beings can embody–the general public has a morbid fascination with psychopaths. We see them featured frequently on the news. The media seems to be intrigued by men like citeste si comenteaza …

“Pentru psihologii ca mine, lumea finantelor este foarte interesanta, chiar si numai in termeni pur clinici. Esti CEO si trebuie sa atingi un target colosal pentru a fi, la randul tau, platit generos. Ce tip de organizatie vei construi pentru a strange o asemenea suma? Devine si mai interesant cand compania ta a esuat intr-o serie de domenii si la sfarsitul anului tot te vei plati cu acea suma uriasa”, scrie psihologul Joris Luyendijk in The Guardian, aratand de ce crede ca lumea finantelor este “o lume amorala, la granita cu imoralitatea”.

Raul e una din cele mai vechi si mai generale probleme care framanta pe om aproape de la aparitia lui. Viata insasi este o forma a luptei duse impotriva raului, caci nu se poate spune ca omul si societatea n-au incercat, de-a lungul timpului, sa combata raul. Raul nu e o problema simpla. Daca, asa cum s-a zis, el e numai in om, iar binele e in tot restul creatiei, atunci Dumnezeu ramane in afara problemei raului. In cazul acesta, raul lucreaza dupa capriciile sau legile sale, prezentandu-se ca o forta independenta si nestavilita de nimic, in fata careia Dumnezeu ramane neputincios. citeste si comenteaza …

As regards pathological factors of ponerogenic processes, perinatal or early-infant damages have more active results than damages which occur later.
