Disorder of the antisocial personality
Sociopatía
GENERAL INFORMATION
The individual with psychopathic personality is characterized by a few special needs and atypical resources to satisfy them. The topic has been analyzed extensively by Dr. Hugo Mayetán, which defines the concept of the following way to us:
"The psychopath in his gesticulating is not visibly a 100 % psychopath. It does not have a physical characteristic that distinguishes it. It is one like us. It can be taking note or teach, be a coworker, a social leader. Only when it acts 'psychopathically' it is possible to recognize it. Neither they all are brilliant and successful ones, they are roving and marginal; others are evident in such a private ambience (perversions) that, except for the complementary one, is a common person. They are small, some statistics indicate 3 % of the males (1.050.000 gesticulating or in growth, for our country) and 1 % of the women (350.000)."

This conception of the psychopathy as Mayetán is equivalent to the disorder of the antisocial personality as the DSM-IV-Tr.
TYPICAL FEATURES
The psicóparta avoids the norms, but not to 100 % because it would be quickly detectadoy eliminmado of the group. Normally it avoids the norms, the social law and turns into delinquent, estafadoro criminal. Superficial delight: Not all the psychopaths are charming, they are bland, embittered, sullen and some frankly repulsive, others inspire fear. The group of those who use the delight corresponds more to the exploiters (swindlers, vividores, parasites) that use it like a reception way. Egoism. It demonstrates minor affective reaction. Some authors say that there is minor demonstration of anxiety and big tolerance to the anxiety in certain painful situations for the thickness of the population. Sometimes the psychopath, in extreme situations, preserves the calmness, takes decisions, gesticulates, fits to the circumstances and can go out well. |

Impersonal sexual life. This means that there is no affective commitment, there is no affective resonance with any couples. This does not mean that the psychopath is technically a loving evil. Moreover, many psychopaths are excellent lovers from the technical point of view and they use this skill to handle his couple. The psychopath is that that is possible copular with an oldster, of those that one looks and says "not, with this viejecita I never, not for a million dollars", and nevertheless the psychopath is capably of exercising his skill with anyone. It threatens of suicide: As part of the manipulation. They do not learn of the experience. He does not learn what he does not want to learn, what goes in counterhand of his beginning and of his needs. The repetition of one to gesticulate qualified as erroneous from the common one answers to satisfy deep, incomprehensible needs for the one that is not in the skin of the psychopath. Incapability to love: The psychopath can act affectively in the sense of making to enter other the psychopathic circuit across the affections. As soon as the person was used, it leaves it to itself to a side. The person left to a side says that the psychopath has a superficial affectivity, that it does not have aptitude to love. Lies: The psychopath usually lies, but it is necessary to distinguish the banal lie of the psychopathic lie. The psychopath uses the lie as a work tool more, it is so used to lie that it is difficult to receive when he lies; they are those who lie looking at the eyes and with a relaxed attitude Dreamy behavior: The mythomaniac tries to adapt actively the reality to his imagination, to his hero of the day, in accordance with the circumstance. The mythomaniac is a fabulador who operates his fable and his lie actively in the society. It can turn into the personage that his imagination created and make it act in the real way, generating in all the sensation that they are opposite to a real personage. The boss of conduct that the mythomaniac continues is established by his imagination, not by the reality and they usually change personage, it is not always in the same personage. Drug, alcohol: Some of them need of her on stimulation or the whirl. It is evident in the adolescence: These persons begin showing his psychopathy from the adolescence. Some psychopathic characteristics are evident from the infancy. This way we remember the case of a two-year-old child who was covering his cats with stars against the walls, managing to kill one of them. Different needs, proper codes: The actions that it realizes are, from the point of view of the psychopath, completely exact to his scale of values, to his criterion, that's why the fact is that they are not guilty. If they have had the opportunity to be with psychopaths, they know that if it is said to them that they harmed, that there are things that must not be done, they are going to answer them "and who says what is well made and what is bad fact? Intelligence: Mostly they are intelligent. The cost of the target: They have a target and try to obtain it. The cost is not important, the important thing is to achieve it paying the minor invoice. The reification of other, it is to take from them the attributes that do the persons similar to one. Now, if it indoctrinates someone intensely of whom his partner is a disgusting and disgusting terrorist, a garbage that it is necessary to destroy because it is a danger for our families and our homeland, this man after certain training, it can take a revolver and kill or torture. Why? Because it stopped being already an equal one, it happened to be a dangerous thing. It is possible to kill to a thing, but to a person not. The reification of other is in innate form in the psychopaths and like ideology in many the political systems. The things "can kill themselves". Manipulation and coercion: The reification allows to explain several of the actions of the psychopaths. We see that they are self-centered, manipulative, they use to the others to obtain their own targets. This type of personality takes as a rare skill to receive the needs for other. This capacity determines another important feature, which is the seduction, leading the others to entering this way a psychopathic circuit. If we add to this that they are intelligent and manipulators, we realize that it is very difficult to resist them. To be related to a psychopath is a going trip with complex comeback. They do not tolerate the defeat and the frustration: The psychopath does what is called the defense aloplástica. "They made me fail", it places the responsibility in others. It cannot do the insight of saying "I was responsible for such a motive". On having eliminated any responsibility chink, it disappears. WHAT DOES THE LAW?
Before a psychopath who has committed an offense: does it treat it like a criminal or like a mental patient?
There are three possibilities theoretically that the law offers in the world courts, there are the following ones:
- Entire responsibility: There is even punished in the same way abnormal individual than to normal one.
- Attenuated responsibility: There is no commendable solution, since after a short stay in prison, they find better conditions to commit an offense again.
- Exemption of the responsibility: it compares the psychopath to alienated mentally that needs revenue in psychiatric hospital. In the USA, the supreme court affirms in 1988 already not to consider the psychopathy to be as a deviation of the behavior, but like a structural anomaly of the personality, considering it to be an authentic mental illness as well as the world organization of the health does it. Between the consequences we meet a reduction of the sorrow for murder of two grades, or what is the same, four years of prison.
We have to bear in mind that there exist proofs that the psychopath partly "is done", nevertheless there is demonstrated the big importance of the biological factors.
