Anatomy Of A Psychopath : The Neurobiological Basis Of Evil Editor’s Note: This is the first part of “Mind’s Matter”, a new series of articles by Dr. Jonathan Pararajasingham, exploring the Neurobiological basis of behaviour. “We serial killers are your sons, we are your husbands, we are everywhere.” – Ted Bundy One of the most controversial areas of research in neuroscience involves the search for biophysical causes of sadistic thought and behaviour. During its evolution, the human brain has acquired three components that progressively appeared and became superimposed, laid down one on top of the other. So the limbic system, among other functions, is effectively the emotional core of brain, with various integral parts including the amygdala (emotional response), anterior cingulate cortex (emotion formation/processing), orbitofrontal cortex (decision making) and hypothalamus (sex, hunger, thirst). THE EMOTIONAL MEMORY: Temporal Cortex and Hippocampus THE EMOTIONAL GATEWAY: Amygdala THE DECISION MAKERS: Cingulate Cortex and Prefrontal Cortex
A Malignant Narcissist's Shock Tactics One of the most glaring outward signs of malignant narcissism is the way narcissists malign others. They are constantly improving their own image at someone else's expense. Another very red flag is perverted reactions to things. This red flag can't be missed, because it's downright shocking. But you witness it infrequently, and it's so perplexing that people unfailingly disbelieve their very eyes and blow off this warning sign. Therefore, whenever you DO witness a perverted reaction to something, DO NOT blow it off. For example, the narcissist inexplicably gets angry at what should please. Guess what? Other examples are being repulsed by what should endear. You know - those bizarre reactions that make you want to pinch yourself. Remember that normal people don't do that. My experience convinces me that narcissists use these backwards reactions to things as shock tactics. That way the narcissist gets away with it, because you are stunned. Know anybody who does that you? Technorati Tags:
The Crime Report A Structural Theory of Narcissism and Psychopathy -- Science of the Spirit -- Sott.net [T]the problem of group violence, is one of the most important issues facing society. Not only is this a most crucial topic for our American society but we are confronted with events that are occurring all over the globe, on all continents and in all countries... So said Dr. Ernest Wolf in a talk given to the International Self-Psychology Symposium in Dreieich, Germany, in May of 2001, four months before 9-11. This essay was recently brought to our attention, having been posted on the SOTT Forum for the express purpose of highlighting Wolf's description of Narcissistic Rage. Why? Well, Dr. In short, Wolf's essay amounts to little more than apologia for Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Psychopathy and only adds to the confusion of our times when the problems pressed upon humanity by such types are nothing short of catastrophic. But, like we said, Wolf has provided one heck of a description of Narcissistic Rage. Now, what does that remind you of? What can be done? How can we know this?
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), Self-love, Narcissism, Healing in the Aftermath | Psychopaths and Love after being victimized by a psychopath, even if you’re doubting that right now. It can take a significant amount of time and effort, as with any major trauma, but it will happen. In addition to this page, please see the ROAD MAP. The illustration to the left shows Red Riding Hood being rescued from the Big Bad Wolf. I think it’s safe to say that for most of us, this isn’t going to happen. Once the “relationship” with the psychopath ends, we must rescue ourselves. We need the support of others after this trauma, but many of us find that support is hard to come by. Since what we’re dealing with is not the end of a regular relationship, no advice about healing after a breakup will help. None of us was “on the lookout for someone as brutal as a psychopath to systematically dismantle” the way we see ourselves, as author Sandra L. One thing a victim needs is validation. AWord About Online Forums: In the search for support and validation, many join online forums.
NARCISSISM, NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER AND ENERGY VAMPIRE What is Narcissism? Narcissism is a force that is infiltrating the people in our society in great numbers. It is a self-absorbed energy that takes control of people and robs them of their ability to love or care about anyone else. Malignant Narcissism is found in people who have Narcissistic Personality Disorder! These people are destructive forces in our society. They are the energy vampires who take, take, take but never truly give! When in the presence of these energy vampires we slowly feel our life-force energy draining away! Narcissists are very manipulative, having mastered the art of manipulation. If we knew what was happening, we could escape and detach our life-force from the narcissist. In the end, it is often too late! Have you heard the story of the frog and the pot of boiling water? Being with a narcissist is the slow boil! The result is the feeling of having just been raped on a very deep level. Like any person in an abusive relationship we develop coping mechanisms.
About Covert Emotional Manipulation | Psychopaths and Love Covert emotional manipulation occurs when a person who wants to gain power and control over you uses deceptive and underhanded tactics to change your thinking, behavior and perceptions. Emotional manipulation operates under the level of your conscious awareness. It holds you psychologically captive. Victims usually don’t realize what’s going on while it’s happening. A skilled emotional manipulator gets you to put your sense of self-worth and emotional well-being into his or her hands. How can you tell if you’re a victim? (continued below) “Five Stars. “Excellent! “Great book!! “If you’re wondering . . . This website is concerned with the most dangerous manipulators, psychopaths; but others manipulate in the much same way (such as narcissists and “pick-up artists”). These highly skilled covert manipulators are incapable of having a real relationship, and some (not all; see below) set out from day one with a plan. You’ll accept mere crumbs if that will prove your love. “”Worth your time!
The Games Narcissist Play Laura, thank you again for putting your finger directly on an important issue. I like so many followed the twists and turns that you published from the Bridges episodes.From my own studies and work I've begun to understand a little about how these individuals think and operate, and in my life have encountered people like this many times. In my family now this very dynamic is coming up again coincidently, and we are all having to deal with the familiar ( no pun intended ) deceits and subterfuge. The difference this time is that everyone whom this person is trying to manipulate is not going to allow it to happen again. We know the patterns and have seen that there are no limits to the deceit, so all are keeping their guard up.There is a long list of writings that speaks to this type of STS view, including People of the Lie and many books that preceded and followed it. There was a lot of pain and suffering for a lot of people for awhile, but even that was a good thing. You bet it is!
Are You a Victim of Emotional Rape? “Ours were false relationships from the very beginning in which we were targeted, exploited and betrayed.” ~Donna Anderson, LoveFraud The quote above gets right to the heart of the matter of emotional rape. These were never normal relationships that started with love and then just went wrong. A psychopath may target a victim with the intent of using them and causing harm, or they may initially experience genuine attraction. In a profound act of betrayal, he or she only pretends to love (even if they start out with genuine attraction, since psychopaths don’t have the ability to love) — and does a convincing job of it — in order to gain your love and trust, which is what makes carrying out their manipulative agenda possible. The predator gets bored and devalues and abuses the victim, and needs the thrill of someone new. The victim is devastated as he or she comes to realize the psychopath’s love was never real and that they were heartlessly abused and betrayed. “Invaluable. “Five Stars.

UPDATE! *for a long time, this report used a pseudonym for Vincent Bridges, "Maynerd Most." UPDATE 2008: After SIX YEARS of constant defamation and cyberstalking on the part of Vincent Bridges and his associates, the enormous amounts of time and even money that are spent on this activity, we suggest that it is time to state the obvious: Vincent Bridges is not just a cyberstalker, he is a paid COINTELPRO agent. UPDATE 2003:- At the present point in time, Spring 2003, when the Quantum Future Group Websites are getting a "face lift," there has been some discussion as to whether or not to retain this report and its related documents onsite. But, the "easy way" is not always the right way. The chief question we are concerned with is its value as a teaching tool. In the summer of 2001, Mr.
