What is a Psychopath?
"Psychopaths are social predators who charm, manipulate and ruthlessly plow their way through life, leaving a broad trail of broken hearts, shattered expectations without the slightest sense of guilt or regret. Their bewildered victims desperately ask, 'Who are these people?'"
We often think of psychopaths as the disturbed criminals who capture headlines and crowd the nation's prisons. But not all psychopaths are killers. They are more likely to be men and women you know who move through life with supreme self-confidence -- but without a conscience.
"What makes them the way they are? How can we protect ourselves?"
-- Dr Robert D Hare, "Without Conscience"

Someone who has NO conscience (no regret) about how their negative behaviour impacts and causes damage and destruction to you, your children and your life. Someone who CANNOT sustain positive change and awareness of their own behaviour and prevent or stop behaving in a negative way.
These are our definitions based on research and experience.
People who are not familiar with these dynamics will excuse and down play (diminish) a psychopath’s capacity to cause enormous destruction and chaos to an individual’s life. We need to educate ourselves to be aware and protect ourselves from such people.
