Female Psychopaths – Toddler Emotions

“Psychopaths live in a presocialized emotional world. Psychopaths possess an emotional range and depth similar to — although not identical with — those of a young toddler prior to sustained interaction with his peers. Emotions that are consciously felt include excitement, rage, boredom, envy, frustration, dysphoria, and shame.  … The psychopath does not display feelings that necessitate a capacity for attachment. These emotions include anger, guilt, fear, depression, sympathy, empathy, remorse, gratitude, sadness, loneliness, and reciprocal joy — a range of feelings that is broad, deep, and complex.”       –J. Reid Meloy in The Mark of CainFor more information … www.winibooks.com
