How do I know if I am a psychopath?

By Jon K. Uhler, LPC -



If you are wondering whether you are a psychopath, the good news is that you likely are not one. That is because genuine psychopaths have little interest in the topic. But, in the event you want a little more reassurance, here is a quick test:

  1. Do you ever sincerely apologize, owning responsibility, and ensuring the other party knows you are sorry?
  2. Does it bother you when/if you realize that you negatively impacted someone else?
  3. Do you appreciate your conscience, and act to make things right, to clear your conscience, when you know you have done the wrong thing?
  4. Do you ensure that others are made whole if you have injured or negatively impacted them?
  5. When you remember that someone has been negatively impacted by you, do you ensure you make things right with them?
  6. Are healthy and reasonable relationships more important than winning, obtaining the objective, or getting what you feel is yours?
  7. Will you inconvenience yourself to help another person, even if there is nothing in it for you?
  8. Does personal integrity matter to you, especially as it relates to how you have treated another person who trusted you, invested time in you, gave of themselves, and extended themselves on your behalf?
  9. If you said something unkind, hurtful, or detrimental to another person, do you make it a priority to quickly humble yourself and make things right?
  10. Are you willing to accept less than you feel you deserve if it will benefit someone who is lower than you?

If you answered ‘Yes’ to all the above, you can relax knowing that you are not a Psychopath.

How could the Judge NOT have Understood the significance of this look?

By Jon K. Uhler, LPC -

How many such mugshots did I see over the 11+ years, while serving as a sex offender treatment provider on Psych staff within the PA Dept. of Corrections, with men who adopted such a look for the camera, while posing for their mugshots? Thousands of them! After you review enough of them, you begin to see a pattern emerge, a reliably consistent clinical and criminal profile emerges, between the kind of facial expression a man makes during his mugshot, the kind of crime he likely committed, his mental state at the time of booking, his psychological profile, and his overall criminal disposition and mindset. And, having reviewed hundreds of such criminal files in the course of my clinical work on prison psych staff, I have seen just such a look... the look Sam Brinto chose to give during his booking, after his arrest for stealing women's luggage, giving him direct access to their underwear... and, quite likely their identities and their contact information. What do you see when you lo...

Nothing Good Happens When Older Men Dress in Drag to Sexually Groom & Exploit "Barely Legal" High School Students

By Jon K. Uhler, LPC -
Image
Read Article A High School student killed an older man because the guy, dressed up as a women, tricked him, so the young man shot the male deceiver to death.... and, then some.   Does this excuse murder? No, of course not. But, was this a case of a Trans dude... a guy who wore women's underwear, drag, and hid 100% of his identity... minding his own business, being selected, targeted, and gunned down because he was a cross-dressing guy, who was simply minding his own business? Was this a Transphobic hate crime, spurred on by a young man who was filed with hate for such different than him? Hardly. Yet, that's how this story is attempting to be spun by Trans Activists and their accomplices in the media, who push the deceptive slogan "Love is Love."  What we have here is not an innocent Trans, but a sexual predator,  who was in the process of grooming and manipulating the mind of a high school student... who he simply misjudged.  The sexual predator in dr...

Why Are Red Flags Clearly Being Overlooked By Professionals... Thus, Leaving Young Gender-Confused Adults With Lifelong Scars?

By Jon K. Uhler, LPC -
Image
As a licensed Professional Counselor  of nearly 30 years experience, who worked extensively with Survivors of sexual abuse and troubled teens in residential treatment (labeled Severely Emotionally Disturbed), and sexual predators, what is my concern with the Trans Movement?     Simply that it is a  massive lie, a contrived and fraudulent agenda-driven Movement, an incredibly nefarious deception... being pushed by nefarious “special interests” (namely select greedy doctors , biomedical companies , big pharma ,  select drug makers ,  social engineers , and  Sexual Predators), which is predicated upon a man-made psychological myth... being strategically marketed by means of the techniques borrowed by some of the most sophisticated of cults (such as Scientology and NXIVM)... being promoted via the deception of “gender fluidity,” which is  preying upon confused and vulnerable kids... leaving them physically, emotionally, ...

It Is Time For Mental Health Professionals to Say, "Enough is Enough!" to the Trans Deception

By Jon K. Uhler, LPC -
Image
The Trans Movement is wreaking havoc on countless lives, with relatively few of us mental health professionals willing to call this what it is... the greatest man-made psychological lie, scheme, and scam ever foisted upon vulnerable young people with untreated mental health issues. The 13 so-called professionals ( there are serious doubts in my mind that any of them should be called "professionals," since they played a pivotal in launching this ruse ), who comprised the DSM 5 working group for Sexual and Gender Identity Disorder s (pg 10 in the DSM 5) , facilitated the manufacturing of this darkened cult-like scheme, by appearing to be moderate, objective, and "reasonable"... which simply has enabled unethical "Transgender Medical Professionals" to bill for "treatments" related to so-called "Transgender" issues. When it comes to the sterilization and amputation of young people with untreated mental health issues ( many of whom show e...

Pimps and Pushers are Strategically Targeting Vulnerable Gender-Confused Teens

By Jon K. Uhler, LPC -
Image
Transgender beauty contestant I couldn't be any more thankful to the National Center on Sexual Exploitation for their leadership in the area of protecting women and children from those who would seek to exploit them. Their recent post is such an important one, as it addresses the need to prevent the exploitation and trafficking of young people and vulnerable women.     Read Article Such information is vital to understand, as sexual predators, especially the Trans Pushers, will lure emotionally hurting and vulnerable teens into exploitation and trafficking via the strategic methods of grooming, as can be found in SOGI ( Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity ) Sex Ed. Then, partnering with Planned Parenthood (the ultimate "Don't ask/Don't tell cover-up organization for a profit), such "targets of opportunity" are sexually manipulated into the customer-for-life medical and pharmaceutical sterilization and sex change fast-track program, as they become immersed...

The "Art of the Spin" of the Sophisticated Manipulator

By Jon K. Uhler, LPC -
Image
Whether embedded in politics, in the ministry, in education, in the management/ownership of legal brothels, in Furries, in Drag, within the Trans Movement, within Hollywood, or within prison, sophisticated Predators understand the art of the spin, thus are inevitably all too predictable when it comes to “damage control”.  Rare is the time they are not “on their game.” But, in such a rare instance of them being unmasked, of being busted for the calculating manipulator that they truly are, they will use a number of time-tested methods of manipulation, to ensure they still come out relatively unscathed. Should the profound manipulator ever find him/herself busted, you will see the art of the spin once again on display. Instead of being who they truly are... a self-confident, calculating, undeterred, goal-driven, calculating, master of manipulation… they will suddenly portray themselves as the exact opposite, as they can “turn on a dime.” By suddenly portraying ...

What is different in the brains of serial killers such as Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer versus regular, "healthy" people?

By Jon K. Uhler, LPC -
Image
I  would recommend a Google search on the subject of brain scans of psychopaths, as you will see there are distinct differences. In a nut shell, where the activity of a normal person’s brain demonstrates quite a bit of activity in the frontal and temporal regions when he/she experiences empathy, and little activity in the occipital region (the back back of the brain) where logical analysis occurs (which would indicate that empathy [and conscience for that matter] is an automatic visceral response for a normal person, and is not contrived or faked), the psychopath’s brain shows the exact opposite patterns. Though your question references the brains of serial killers (bloody psychopaths), I think it is important to point out that “white collar” psychopaths are much more prevalent, yet their brains would essentially look the same under a color brain imaging scan. So, when I speak on the subject, I tend to focus more on this type of predator’s brain, as this predator is more dangerous,...

Which is more dangerous a psychopath or a sociopath? What’s the difference?

By Jon K. Uhler, LPC -
Image
The fundamental difference between a sociopath and a psychopath is their motivation, and the means they employ to obtain what they want. A sociopath is essentially all about sales and personal benefit, while a psychopath is all about self-promotion, power, control, dominance. The sociopath will weigh the benefits vs costs, and will opt for that which will make the most sense in terms of forward movement toward his goals. The psychopath will set his sights on something he deems will benefit him, and begin a strategic plan how best to accomplish the desired outcome. There is little thought to the cost, as he is confident in the outcome, as they will utilize whatever means necessary to ensure a favorable outcome for themselves. Lastly, in terms of the extent to which they will use and manipulate others, a sociopath will do so, as long as it makes sense, ensuring there’s no negative repercussions afterward. If things “unwind,” he will simply cut his losses and move on to the next opportuni...
