On today’s episode, Dr. Josh Smith joins me for a conversation about psychopathy, sociopathy, and anti-personality disorder. We talk about how those terms differ in colloquial usage and clinical usage, and how diagnoses aren’t necessarily what people think they are. 

We talk about:

-clinical versus colloquial usage of terms

-diagnosis versus description

-research behind the variables

-corporate sociopaths

-the prevalence of lying

-compartmentalizing

-being a good therapist

-the role of empathy

-empaths and narcissists
