Dr. Hare discusses ways to reduce your vulnerability

I'm not sure of the rules regarding providing links to works such as Robert Hare.

However, I thought some of you may want to read this article by Hare ---- This Charming Psychopath: How to Spot Social Predators Before They Attack

This is a link to the last section of his article:

http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/199401/charming-psychopath?page=5

He discusses how one may spot the predator before he spots you.

I know most of you are with narcs... however there are some (like myself) who was with a psychopath.

narcs, imho - are just 'lower level' psychopaths... Hare's work is ALWAYS welcome on this board! Thanks. ~~~~~~~~~ Moving Forward: Coaching for Victims Pathologicals Feelings buried alive never die. - Alice Miller

Spectrum

Do you think they tend to go down that spectrum with age, or stay where they are on the spectrum?

spectrum

they NEVER NEVER EVER 'go down' that spectrum. It only moves in ONE DIRECTION. Many with age, get worse - much worse. ~~~~~~~~~ Moving Forward: Coaching for Victims Pathologicals Feelings buried alive never die. - Alice Miller

Yes, They just get worse with age!

Thank you Jessika for posting this weblink for Dr. Hare's comprehensive article on Psychopaths. I agree with Barbara's comments too. They do not get better. They do not even understand the concept of being 'self aware' or having insight. Without the element of these things they simply cannot grow or change AT ALL. Never. Not with 'help', 'enough love', 'therapy' or 'understanding', they will not change...EVER...not with all the 'prayers' in the world, nor 'attention'...nor 'voodoo'...You can virtually make sacrifices to the 'gods'...and sacrifice your life...and they will NOT get better...but instead become WORSE! If you have the misfortune to be in a relationship with one of these sick creeps who pretends to be "Prince Charming, but is really a monster...the only person who will change will be YOU... RUN in the other direction! ... Forget love - I'd rather fall in chocolate!
