Okay, I'm sure Candice DeLong is an extremely bright, successful woman in her own right. But watching the former FBI agent and profiler speak on the television show Deadly Women kind of pisses me off. I mean, some of these women murdered in the late 1800s, and she's speaking as if she's some sort of authority as to the exact kind of person she was. She makes this blunt, absolute statements, and I'm scratching my head wondering how she can say this as a professional--given the fact that she didn't even interact with these people in life.
In this book I read, Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us, the author, Robert Hare, briefly mentions that when a DA requested Dr. Hare testify on behalf of the prosecution regarding psychopathy, he politely declined. How can you speak to what you don't know?
By the way, I read that book because the father is a psychopath in my opinion. I have a lot to learn in the field of psychiatry, but I'm well versed and I know I possess knowledge that surpasses the average primary care psychician's take on psychiatric mental health. At least in particular fields, like bipolar disorder and some personality disorders and psychopathy. Dr. Hare is a world renowned psychologist and has studied psychopathy for years, he even invented a clinical checklist that has become a standard of practice in the identification of psychopathy.
Point is, you need to get the heck away from these people.
