1. Anti-Social Personality Disorders Jacob Davelaar Drew Jones

2. Psychopaths They have no morals whatsoever and are viewed as monsters in today’s society. They are virtually emotionless and lack an autonomic nervous system and anxiety. Cleckley, Hervey (1903-1984) The Mask of Sanity, Fifth Edition, 1988. Previous editions copyrighted 1941, 1950, 1955, 1964, 1976 by St. Louis: Mosby Co. Psychopaths don’t respond to punishment, stress or disapproval. They don’t really have a conscience and words do not have the same meaning to them as much as they would mean to us. They never feel genuine feelings about or for anything. McCord W. & J. (1964) A psychopaths lies all the time like it is nothing and often lies without thinking he is lying. Lying comes naturally to the psychopath and even lies about his own made up lies. He or she will lie about something he or she forgot they lied about and keeps digging a deeper and deeper hole of lying. Hare, R. (1996) Most psychopaths are very full of themselves and heartless. But, when trying to get the attention of someone they will say the “right” things to try to fool you into thinking that they are good warm- hearted human beings. The reality is that they don’t care about having real relationships at all. It is debated that the psychopath knows his own behavior or not but for most cases they know what they are doing all along. They are psychopathic over time and don’t just realize one day that they are psychopaths. Sher, K. & Trull, T. (1994) Lykken, D.T. (1995)

3. Sociopaths Sociopaths unlike psychopaths are created by horrible parenting and alienation during their childhood. Hare, R. (1993) Sociopaths often relate to others as objects and don’t develop the ability to love or engage with others. Hare, R. (1991) Some sociopaths are angry and rejects “normal” society and show how much they hate society by being a constant nuisance. Robins, L. (1978) They cannot relate emotionally with others in anyway and they get pleasure out of intentionally hurting others, either mentally or physically. Jenkins, R. (1960) These sociopaths are often referred to as sadistic and heartless as well as soulless. Giannangelo, S. (1996) A huge cause of sociopathic behavior is believed to be neurological abnormalities which is in the frontal lobe of the brain. Fishbein, D. (2000)

4. Traits Psychopaths and sociopaths show antisocial traits because of bad past experiences with abusive adults (usually parents) and later in life they make up there own morals of what is right and wrong and it only applies to them. They like to get back at society because they feel that they have been treated bad by others. Rogers, R., R. Salekin, K. Sewell & K. Cruise (2000) They all have it out for the world so they slowly hurt people once at a time and it eventually grows into a population of hurt people by these people who suffer from anti-social disorders. Lykken, D. (1995)
