PSYCHOPATH NIGHT! [Channel 4]

Psychologist Prof Kevin Dutton from Oxford University is bringing us insight into the mind of the 'Psychopath'. Interestingly linked to films and other media. However we need to consider that Psychopathic behaviour is not technically 'insane'.. in other words different from what we might call 'psychotic'. Also the term Narcissist is not used, when in fact many of the behaviours discussed are actually part of the NPD spectrum.

[@girlfriendofnone]

She (the female lawyer) says: "I hope you will show me some kind of compassion, once you get to know a psychopath." - but just minutes before she tells us she has no compassion what so ever for any human beings, and feels no empathy. That, is spot on how a psychopath manipulates normal human beings. Why would I be compelled to give her anything, when she clearly doesn't care about others ? - because it's in my nature, and she bloody well knows it.

[@ulalaFrugilega]

Exactly ... if the system of reciprocity goes, all we should do is consider if and how we can use them. But then there's also the idea of being better than the bad... Anyway, like your profile-name!

[@johngarvey5370]

fuck her

[@tinagreenbean]

Because she can't help it, but we can.

[@perspellman]

Amazing that she was revealed by her own parents, as it's normally hard to think bad of ones own children. But, she maybe right about being more of a sociopath, since one main difference is that they are born this way, while psychopaths are result of environment.

[@redknight1825]

@@perspellman: You got it the wrong way around. A psychopath is born whereas a sociopath is made. Society has mistreated them badly and they become angry and bitter about their social circumstances - hence Socio (social) path. A psychopath is born with having no link to their emotions and thus feel nothing and thus have no empathy and never will. A sociopath, on the other hand, does have emotions and has developed psychopathic behavior. In my opinion, a sociopath is more dangerous on a personal level because they have passion behind their actions thus can act out of revenge. A pure psychopath would view revenge as a waste of time and effort. A crocodile or a shark do not take attacks on them as personal but would simply defend themselves as a way of survival.

[@PenDragon-hg1lg]

@5:11 look at the expression on Hannibal's face, "Jack Crawford sent a trainee to me?" He is completely dumb-founded at that moment, a killer of his caliber and they send a trainee to him, that jabs his ego more than anything Clarice says in that interview. Hannibal would expect Jack to send a senior officer, or at least an agent with some experience, but no, he sent a student, in Hannibal's mind it's essentially Jack saying, "You're not worthy of an actual agent, take this rookie it's all you deserve." Actually a beautiful representation of psychopaths grandiose self-worth

[@Aa-wv4gh]

That might be why Hannibal took a liking to her , like most psychopaths he was going to steal her away from Jack , make her his rookie , a counter move by Hannibal , and a brilliant move by Jack to protect Clairice. Basically two cats fighting over the same play toy. Anthony Hopkins was the best actor for that role , he literally scares the sh*t out of you.

PenDragon 24601 Yes , I never saw the "Flash". I have been studying the subject of psychopathy for many years now since I first saw the movie "Silence of the Lambs" , seeing Anthony again with the subtitles I missed before , for me it was more intense to see him act as a psychopath , it's a much much more convincing and disturbing role he plays here..

[@catsalive1]

One of the best documentaries I have ever seen on psychopathy.

[@noahmuskett9540]

catsalive1 it is the best I have seen. But I’m still very intrigued about psychopaths. So do you have any other documentaries on psychos to recommend?

[@perspellman]

The best. Normally it's all about serial killers or hard criminals of some kind. This film is much more about the problems psychopaths create in daily life.

[@philsurtees]

@@perspellman That's interesting, especially considering the fact that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PSYCHOPATH. It's a pop psychology term used by Hollywood and television but there is no such diagnosis in real life. Oh and then they have an FBI Profiler on the show. Profiling is a complete myth that doesn't work. For every time they get something right, there are ten things they get wrong, and cases are often hindered because they're so far off. They refuse to allow scientific study because they don't want the truth to be discovered. So ... I guess if you like documentaries about non-existent personality traits, discussed by members of a mythical profession which has no basis in reality, then ... yes ... this is a very good show.

[@perspellman3022]

@@philsurtees Thank you for this BS. Psychopathy and Sociopathy are definitions of certain personalty disorders and absolutely medical diagnoses. These therms may be popular versions, but don't tell me that such people don't exist, persons who lack empathy, remorse and have a narcissistic view of the world. I have met several of them, with different degrees, all basically intelligent, but manipulating and also dangerous if crossed. Believe me, the ones I've experienced were not documentaries on KZbin. These people often seek power and position in their society and the hierarchy of their environment, and the higher you go, the more of them you'll find. That's no myth or pop psychology, but painfully real.

46:30 in a crisis the professor would totally want high scorers ( in the psychopaths test) to handle his money or his problem, because he thinks high scorers on the psychopaths scale are better risk takers and therefore problem solvers. The problem with your thought, dear professor, is that you think they would act in your interest, and that's exactly what is NOT going to happen. They will rip you off, and throw you in a ditch in a second.The risk is yours, the benefit is theirs. That's the very essence of a psychopath.

[@dortesandal4303]

[@deborahnieling2315]

I disagree here....not every Psychopath is evil! You have Firefighters, Doktors, Bomb squad persons, who do good also! The footballplayer is not evil either, he just has not that ammount of emotion!

[@pianomasters3945]

Notice how naturally swift and perfectly the “eyeball killer” turned the tables when asked if removing a human eyeball is difficult. He refracts all responsibility by simply stating “I would imagine it would be”. The entire phrase pinpoints how easy it was for him to not only avoid admission of guilt by saying “It’s not” or “for me” etc., but he easily detected the trap the interviewer set up for him multiple times during the interview. Very interesting and typical of the common psychopath, especially for one who doesn’t care at all.

[@bungalowmo]

When the mother speaks of that look in her sons eyes at 1:17:36 !! That was the look my ex gave me. It was a combination of looking through me.....dead....and pure evil, all wrapped into one. I have never seen anything so frightening in my 58 years on this planet. I doubt I ever will again, either. While I was trying to explain how his actions had hurt me, he just sat there staring. Like he wished I didn't exist.

[@Skindoggiedog]

Yeah, maybe. Or maybe he was simply fed up with your attempts at manipulating him and didn't give a shit anymore.

[@lymarie1974]

[@kimrobinson6285]

I feel you...I spent eight years with a psychopath, and I know that look well. Bottomless eyes that are like a pipeline to Satan. Or sometimes the sly smile when he knew his plan to hurt me had been successful. Positively diabolical.

Bravery is certainly not exclusive to psychopaths.

[@kathrynmcmorrow7170]

Right. We all brave the environments we can!

[@silverstuff182]

Angus1966In this film it is claimed that it would be good to have a psychopath in a position to save you from a desperate situation. So, if you're hanging off a cliff by a thread a psychopath will come and drag you up to safety? Not if somebody is holding out an ice cream cone to him. Then he'll drop you like yesterday's garbage and have that nice cone.

[@linmcc8342]

Clockwork Orange was the only book that I could not finish reading.

[@headlyredbear9128]

It's not that they are brave, it's that they operate unaffected by the highly stressful nature of a situation that would normally require bravery. The best definition of bravery that i'm aware of is that bravery is not to act without fear but to act regardless of fear, so if a psychopath is not capable of fear then nothing they do can be described as brave.

[@izil1fe]

I would argue in fact that psychopaths as well as most narcissists/sociopaths CAN'T be brave at all. In order to be brave, you HAVE to have fear. Bravery means doing something extreme despite feeling fear and anxiety and all the other emotions people fear when faced with a dangerous situation, but, the brave ones among us PUSH through this fear and do the brave thing anyway. If you do not feel fear and anxiety you literally can't BE brave because the prerequisite doesn't exist. Psychopaths can absoultely DO a very brave thing, but they can't never BE a brave individual.

When you think about it Peter Pan was a psychopath and Wendy was his enabler. She was going to take care of him and the boys but no one helped her. Rather than than help her he let her go home and never expressed that he cared about her. Unfortunately for me I turned out to be the Wendy to my husband’s Peter, his son’s Peter and to his two very dangerous grandsons. I saw myself as a failure for years because I couldn’t help them, fix them. Therapy and good friends helped me to see there was no cure for them but there was a cure for me. The weight and guilt lifted off my shoulders was immense. Now I don’t live for them I live for me.

Except you probably didn't. Millions of women watch a single documentary about psychopathy and then are magically able to suddenly diagnose someone they know as a psychopath, but what's more often the case is that the person simply doesn't like them. "I didn't do anything wrong" is a thought that most women carry with them their entire lives, no matter what evil things they've done, so they really struggle to understand when someone holds resentment or bitterness towards them for any length of time. A female will *always* assume the fault is elsewhere. That there is, or must be, something wrong with the other person. Even if she apologizes, the apology is only a strategy to attempt to quell the situation. Bring the topic/incident up two years later during an argument to find out who she *actually* blames. Pro-tip: It won't be herself. Now maybe the person you encountered was a psychopath - it's possible, there are a lot of them - but, judging from the first nine words you wrote, combined with the contents of your profile, I'd suggest it very unlikely indeed.

Why did he reveal his psychopathy scores to them? I feel like that would influence their behaviors for the rest of the tests a bit. Maybe?

[@fitbright7936]

The professor wanted to be right, and he knew that the guy and the girl were actually proud of being who they are so he encouraged and, what's more important, manipulated their ego for his study to be successful. This girl perhaps is a psychopath (most likely not a killer but future banker or someone else's cruel boss as she almost changed her mind), but because her ego was challenged so there was no way to feel shame on that simple task. I'm a great empath but I could do what she did, in fact if my ego was challenged it would give me extra bravery trait. You have made a good point because the outcoms of his study was actually manipulated in favour of being him right, rather than seeking an objective result. Which in turn, the professor could have narcissistic nature - don't like to be wrong.

It seemed to me that they were both trying to show that they could be just as cold and hard as a man in the business world. However, most of the really nice CEO's and such that I've met have the ability to make you feel that you are the most important person in the world. And they mean it. If they don't mean it, they will stab you in the back as a true psychopath would do. I didn't recognize that both these women had no qualms with ruining me personally and professionally. That was my bad. I even stood up for one of the women and said she should get a raise. She later accused me of stealing accounts and all kinds of terrible things. Watch out for them.

With respect to the video description. Agreed. Antipathy/narcissism is fundamental in psychopathy. But rarely mentioned. It's rife in society and is a prerequisite to psychopathic behaviour. You dont have to be psychopathic to be a narcissist, but you have to be narcissistic to be a psychopath.

The Gordon Gecko "greed is good" phenomenon also happened here in the UK in the 1980's. When the USA had Ronald Reagan, we in the UK had Margaret Thatcher. Traditionally Europe, including the UK, is a lot less conservative right wing than the USA, but directly before that era we had had rampant socialism. We were ready for a change. Some creatures named "yuppies" were born. It was a new echelon in society. They were mostly young, worked in city banks and traded in shares (I think). They were also characterised by being openly materialistic, greedy, selfish and self-satisfield. That is morally abhorrent to us normally, yet Margaret Thatcher divided our society against itself, by appealing to the selfish greed of various sectors of society. The zeitgeist of the time was that selfish ambition and greed are good and the weak and poor are collateral damage.

Very good documentary when Heath Ledger played The Joker they said after that he was never the same

This is the best video about psychopathy I have ever seen in my life thank you thank you thank you from Black Widow spider 👍👍👍👍👍

53:25 First time I've seen a psychiatrist give an interviewer a jump scare in a documentary! LOL

[@entertheabattoir4064]

Society does not in any way shape or form need psychopaths, in fact, i will suggest that this disorder is one of the main driving factors to the constant oppression, unrest, injustice in the world, Pathocrasy in other words. We'd stand a better chance without them

[@JohnJohnson-om1wi]

Excellent documentary except for the reference to Clockwork Orange. The fact is that the character loved the violence in the treatment but when the music of Beethoven was played it was inappropriate. His version of psychopathy was spot on after all as demonstrated by the ending

[@byronelenica8329]

The confusion I have is this attitude of showing psychopaths with the full intention of harming others yet separating subversiveness from direct/acute intent to harm.

[@Eh-nb7rw]

thx for the upload dude!

Good documentary. Thanks for sharing!

[@omaoyelowo4369]

Psychopacy is developed in people as a way to counteract pain....pain ,pain ,and more pain creates psychopaths as the face of their brave acts,gets applauded in defiance to their personal pain....,a new person,and way of life is birth...but you don't become a criminal psychopath ,until you with the tendency,start forcing people into your plans ,to steal ,to kill,and to destroy them. Marriage to psychopaths is physically painful,as their partners are always wrong and at fault in everything. They simply set their close knits up for ruins.

[@SheTheDee1971]

Theresa Russell in 'Black Widow' was a classic psychopath missed off of the film list. Charming, manipulative, remorseless superficial. She was great in the movie.

[@australianegoist2681]

i am not a psychopath

Only a psychopath would say that

[@js5787]

I believe that sociopaths have been here since man /woman was created. I believe that they were necessary for early tribes to succeed in a harsh past. They were the hunters of mammoth beasts and the defenders against warring tribes, I also believe that all humans have some form of sociopathy. I will admit that when watching sad movies that I do NOT feel like crying during these times, I feel that we need people that can do their jobs under pressure and that emotion would get in the way. I think we all have some varying tendences of the sociopath. Crying and emotional pain are things that I have learned to avoid, I am very uncomfortable , impatient with situations, and people that are sickenly emotional, I was bullied as a child/adolescent, so I have learned to shield myself, I rarely cry, and for me, this is a relief.

[@genesis650]

Just the type of Doc I needed lol

[@AmandaWatkins7s]

Can sociopaths and psychopaths get along? I think if I'd have stayed with my husband either one or both of us would have ended up dead. He's the ladder in my question.

I've often thought how poetic a coincidence it was that one of the only cannibals in the Western world had the first name Hannibal.

[@tfs203]

After watching Psycho for the first time, my Daughter made me or her Mother sit outside her bathroom door, while she showered, it's scared the shit out of her!🤣

[@ricardodv8196]

Nearing towards the end when the narrator said stick around to see who makes first place on the list i said to myself "watch them say something stupid like the Joker or something", and sure enough... lol It does make sense though but i was hoping they'd be a bit more original.

[@KevinSalar]

I was born as a psychopath. I was not made. When you meet me, you would never know what is under my mask of sanity. I am not a murderer and will never be. But I was in prison for 6 years because I robbed several Banks in Belgium. I dont feel anything for other humans, not even for my mother. I love the way I am. I love myself. And I love animals. I would never hurt an animals, but I would not care hurting a human. Of course I am Not a criminal anymore; I actually am a famous Artist in Belgium. Some psychopaths can also be important for society. Think of the surgeons. They are psychopaths but save lives. Psychopaths are important for humans. Only a few become Killers. The Others Help keeping society together.

[@bleh2590]

Had no idea 007 was that violent ! Guess I will have to check on their movies sometime.

[@TheScarab117]

The bungie jump test was not done very well. He created a high likelihood of participant bias by telling people their scores and telling people what he expected from psychopaths before putting them on the bungie cord.

I was waiting for Tony Blair and George H W Bush.

[@reeferseasalt]

Great doc. I don't blame that mom; if anything, she's definitely not naive. The Hillside Stranger was almost more convincing than Bundy or Kemper.

[@marisabenson1222]

I read that book, Lets Talk About Kevin ans it was chilling.

[@michaelpage1030]

It is my belief, whether frontal lobe, environment or combination of both, this condition results from our basic survival instincts. I think genetically our mind has garnered this trait as a survival mechanism. Thousands of years ago empathy, though a noble & necessary behavior, results in naive compassion which could be your undoing. Those who were guileless & cunning could take advantage of those who weren't, thereby rising in our genus. BTW I don't think Mr. Albright never blinked during the interview.

[@Skindoggiedog]

It could even be that mankind were all psychopaths at some point, and that the empathy and compassion parts developed later on and took over as more favorable.

@1:27.. it occurs to me that it seems like the writers of scripts like The Dark Night should have 24/7 surveillance or at least be the first people of interest in psycho type crimes.

What’s interesting is the Batman character is ALSO a psychopath, glamorized....

[@quickchris10comcast]

Batman?

[@CBlade0]

Funny how the producers and the agent who approach the Allbrite segment are somewhat psychopathic in their own way, throwing out idiom catchphrases, acting like what they did was more grandiose, monumental, and skilled than it was, and capturing a soundbyte just to boost an agenda that they wanted to suggest.

[@bradleyknight8418]

fantastic documentry

[@christinehaigh9807]

Have they no decency -no values - no conscience? Ruthless behaviours..

[@amulyamishra5745]

Did anyone notice that the first serial killer, that eyeball one... rarely blinks his eye...it shows how cool (and cold) he is. Just like predators. Whereas, the FBI guy blinks more often.

[@omerk93]

ruthless, fairless focused, cool under pressure. genes brain and early trauma which is more shaper
