Bowlby postulated that humans are born with innate behaviors called âsocial releasersâ such as crying and smiling, to aid proximity and contact with their mother. The emotional attachment and relationship of a mother and her child acts as a base model based on which all future social relationships are formed. According to âBowlbyâs Maternal Deprivation Hypothesisâ, any long term disruption of the relationship between mother and infant results in antisocial behaviors, delinquency, depression, increased aggressiveness, cognitive difficulties and affectionless psychopathy. An intriguing example of affectionless psychopath would be Andy McNab, who was abandoned as a baby, committed petty crimes, joined the British Army Infantry at a young age and eventually became part of Britainâs elite Special Air Services (SAS) unit. Post retirement from his military career, McNab has become a successful author and playwright.
Professor Kevin Dutton from University of Oxford, collaborated with McNab on the book titled âThe Good Psychopathâs Guide to Successâ, suggesting that psychopathic traits could be made useful given the circumstances. Dutton is a leading psychological research at the Department of Experimental Psychology and a member of âOxford Centre for Emotions and Affective Neuroscience (OCEAN)â research group. McNab is a diagnosed psychopath but Dutton purported that McNab was able to selectively control his psychopathic traits to consciously take advantage of the situation at hand. He could dial up his fearlessness and empathy or dial down ruthlessness and impulsivity, to get the best out of himself and others in a wide variety of situations, claiming the title of âgood psychopathâ. Dutton is on the record saying: âIâd done research with the special forces, with surgeons, with top hedge fund managers and barristers. Almost all of them had psychopathic traits, but theyâd harnessed them in ways to make them better at what they do.â Unlike most people, psychopaths make some of the best operators in high pressure situations, like terror attacks or kidnapping, owing to their fearlessness and ability to focus solely on the job at hand and blocking out the white noise. Duttonâs work is considered revolutionary as it explores the positive implications of Dark Psychology, that is traditionally maligned.
In 2011, Dutton conducted âGreat British Psychopathic Surveyâ and identified professions with higher likelihood of a psychopathic leader, such as lawyers, police officers, journalists and surgeons among other professions requiring extensive professional detachment. For example, CEOs of hedge funds are often required to make high risk decisions with little to no fear, hallmark trait of psychopathy which can be dialed up by the so called âgood psychopathsâ, to make millions of dollars.
People often use the terms âsociopathâ and psychopath interchangeably, however, sociopath is a nonclinical term and refers strictly to people with antisocial behaviors primarily driven by their environmental factors. On the other hand, psychopathic traits have a genetic predisposition, exasperated by their environment. Sociopaths often exhibit Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD), characterized by low empathy and moral check. Unlike Psychopathy, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th edition), includes ASPD as a personality disorder. Individuals diagnosed with
