Judas Priest on a pony. I know that there's not going to be a congress of psychopaths...BTW how weird would that be.... but I'm just going to precast my vote that the author of that mess be prohibited from getting within touching distance of anyone much less psychopaths.

Wilhelm Reich was odd. He thought aliens were stalking him. Had some sort of paranoid disorder. He died in 1957.
He had a bizarre hypothesis about sexual energy - orgon energy, he called it. Orgon energy, he said, gets stuck in specific regions of the body & causes emotional blocks (the amour). So, emotions can be healed by releasing tension in these areas of the body. It's popular with New Agers today, probably because it sounds so easy.
He invented an orgon energy generating machine that was supposed to increase human physical powers. The FDA said, no, that's medical fraud. Reich didn't agree & transported them across state lines anyway & he was jailed.
So, I'm not surprised at all that he had these misconceptions about psychopathy, especially considering that died over 60 years ago. He was a product of the times. No one had any clue about divergent neurology.
That article is a mess. I thought in some instances it was leaning more towards NPD but reading on its just a mish mash of disorders being forced into an inaccurate framework. Difficult to say anything positive about it at all so I won’t bother. In fact, I think articles like this are plain dangerous if I’m honest.
Changing the subject slightly, I think I remember reading somewhere Athena that an interviewer asked you to go ‘mask off’ during an interview. They couldn’t handle it and asked for you to put the mask back on. Did I dream that or have I read that? Do you have an article that discusses this aspect? Why NT’s can’t handle mask off or an explanation of which NT needs you cater to when wearing the mask. Sorry for the subject change. I was just curious to know how it would feel to talk to you as you are, as opposed to what you would portray in order to make me feel comfortable.
Thank God, I have read enough of your previous post and articles, and having had a psychopathic partner, that I know better, thank you for having posted all that you have. I do not know how you can handle reading stuff like this, I could barely do it.

Read this again & i think i can answer some of your rhetorical questions. :) I think they mean "heedless,' not 'needless" in the middle of the article. Can't tell what that hanging "their" is, though. They really need a decent editor.
Amour is what Wilhelm Reich called the banding of orgone energy that is blocked. 7 or 8 amours wrap around the body, like around the head and the pelvis (that's why they mentioned the pelvis). And each amour is associated with a certain negative emotion. And yeah, the New Age references you saw were just that.
These authors sound sexually repressed. They're better off hiring an escort to play this role than they are at finding someone who's actually like this. I feel sorry for any traumatized persons who are unfortunate enough to run into these predatory ass hats with saviour complexes.
Brilliant rebuttle of Reich's psychoanalytic theories, which were written around the 1920's and 1930's. I think he was seen as a radical of his time, but all of those theories were written before neuroscience and genetic understanding opened up. The main concern is that these theories are still taught without emphasising the historical time frame they were written in which would put the assertions into context.
Have you considered commenting on this incredibly misguided and inaccurate article; I noticed that there is a comment section. They obviously have no idea what they are talking about—and you are the best person to set them straight!
After reading this post, one thing is certain to me: the closest one can get to torture Athena is to tie her in a chair and force her to read those cursed texts filled with fan fiction that poses itself as a legitimate psychological article

"These two people are going to end up murdered in an alleyway."
My favorite sentence.

LMAO at your comments, Athena.
This is so funny to read 😂

Hah! Knew it was going to be a fun one.
your rebuttal was well written, however much the original article was a disaster.
-sincerely, i want eye bleach now from a few of those portions
Thankyou for the post athena. Loved the analogy of hugging the tiger.
“I firmly believe that leashes for children were inspired by a psychopathic child”
HAHA I bet you make people crack up all the time
