With the release of the Joker movie, we at Psych2Go thought this would be a good time to also release a video about Ted Bundy and how he became a serial killer. Psychopathy official name is antisocial personality disorder, which is part of the DSM. Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD or APD) is a personality disorder characterized by a long term pattern of disregard for, or violation of, the rights of others. A low moral sense or conscience is often apparent, as well as a history of crime, legal problems, or impulsive and aggressive behavior. Common understanding is that psychopathy is born whereas sociopathy is made. In the case of Ted Bundy, and the character Joker, do you feel they are made or born? What's your reasoning?
