Indadvendt.dk Blog Archive Review hangover 3 of Henrik Day Poulsen: "Everyday psychopaths"
Psychiatrist and Berlingske blogger Henrik Day Poulsen's latest book is an updated version of the same Poulsen Psychopaths from 2003. Along with Dahl and Dalseggs charmer and bully (2002) and Sanne Udsens Psychopaths in suits (2006) belongs to book the bestselling psychopath spotting genre that supposedly enable the reader to recognize a psychopath.
In the book we come around the fundamental aspects of psychopaths: Psychopaths are found not only in the streets but also in the boardrooms. Psychopaths lie and cheat and always blames the other. Psychopaths do not care about the feelings of others. And so are most psychopaths hangover 3 also men.
The book is based on seven fictitious individual stories hangover 3 about each kind of psychopath: Insider dealer, hangover 3 murderer, drug lord and medical hangover 3 researcher (m / f). After each story's end the reader is psychiatrist Poulsen adult reflections on the past - you can for example. well be a psychopath, even if you are rich and have a major impact? And women should be in a relationship with a violent psychopath who beats?
To give shape to the so-called case studies to illustrate the psychiatric principles has always been a challenge for the writer who gave in layers with them. In everyday psychopaths, Poulsen tackled the challenge by allowing the literary hangover 3 ambitions hangover 3 draw air so that the seven case studies almost feels like seven little stories. All delivered in a rigid, but easily accessible Danish.
However, there is not much everyday of everyday psychopaths. Over the seven little insight into everyday psychopathy, the reader familiar with both child pornography and pedophilia and infanticide, suicide and contract killings. It is a rich catalog of human perversion and wickedness, as a psychiatrist Poulsen will share during the otherwise short text.
A permanent point in the psychiatric literature is that highly skilled psychopaths are not necessarily violent, just insanely charming and manipulative. But violent, it will be now with Poulsen. The refined and subtle power games that upper class psychopaths are known, represented only parenthetical at Poulsen, while violence again and again allowed to stand in the center. It's a shame, because it prevents the reader to learn more about the tuxedo-clad psychopath.
Poulsen cites that his medical colleagues turned up their noses against the book's first edition as psychopathy supposedly taboo. It is possible that Poulsen has diagnosed the cause of colleagues 'concern correctly, but alternatively hangover 3 it could be that it was not the book's topic choice, but rather its sensationalism, which has resulted hangover 3 in colleagues' displeasure.
Not only Poulsen's book, but the whole psychopath spotting genre suffers from the problem that everything looks like a nail for those who only have a hammer. Scammers, cheaters, murderers and rape men - men who seduces women with fancy tricks hangover 3 and lines, and people who harass others' aggressive statements on the internet - all can be construed as psychopaths on the basis of reduction in the near psychopath spotting book.
Thus, also in Poulsen's book, where all kinds of other disorders confused with the actual psychopathic. This leaves the reader only with little opportunity to distinguish one disorder from the other or put the mentioned disorders in the system. The book is more a potpourri of psychiatric ills than any real methodological introduction to the world of psychopaths.
It is implied hangover 3 in the book that psychopaths tend extrovert behavior. But according to a larger aggregate 2006 study, there is no further correlation between extraversion and psychopathy. hangover 3 Instead think the personality traits that typically coincides with psychopathy to be low kindness (UK agreeableness), as well as low levels of conscientiousness and personal organization (UK conscientiousness).
"One can only determine whether people hangover 3 are psychopaths when they are examined by a psychiatrist," says Poulsen in black and white. But Canadian Robert D. Hare, who is considered by many one of the world's leading psychopath researchers, neither psychiatrist or reluctant to stick psychopath mark on the people he has never met.
In The Psychopath Test by Jon Ronson in 2011 facing the postmodern view binoculars the other way and focuses on the people who write and read these psychopath hangover 3 spotting hangover 3 books. What does it say about them that they have such a need to throw on with diagnoses?
