詐現來自自覺和他覺 (SP 2023) (自體的心理學)
根據量子力學，物之存在，只是詐現 (乍現)。何以詐現？因為被觀察 (be observed)，以致波的功能塌陷 (collapse of the wave function)，以致詐現。被什麼觀察？信神者，可以說被神觀察 (人在做，天在看)；信中共者，可以說被網信辦觀察；信關係學派者，可以說被他者觀察；信自體心理學者可以說，被自己觀察 (I.e. 自覺，self consciousness，self awareness，self as another)；信自體的心理學者可以說，被自然和歷史觀察。

Countertransference will often be differentiated into concordant or complementary countertransference.
Concordant countertransference involves the therapist taking in the patient’s inner state (Racker, 2007; Brown, 2011), causing the therapist to align with the patient in thoughts and feeling. This process of the therapist experiencing the same inner reality closely resembles empathy.
Example – A patient had a disagreement with his boss where he felt unfairly criticized for being lazy. Upon hearing the story, the therapist agreed with the patient that he had been unfairly criticized.
Complementary countertransference occurs when the therapist identifies not with the patient, but rather with another person from the patient’s life thereby recreating an earlier relationship. The patient unconsciously desires to reenact a previous relationship, and the therapist feels compelled to play the accompanying role (Brown, 2011).
Example – A patient was harshly and unfairly criticized by his boss for being lazy. Upon hearing his story, his therapist is left with the feeling that the harsh criticism is deserved and that the patient is in fact lazy.

Can we say that serial killing was a 20th century phenomenon, and mass killing is a 21st century phenomenon ? (ChatGPT, 2023-9-24) （2023-9-23）
It's not accurate to categorically state that serial killing was exclusively a 20th-century phenomenon or that mass killing is exclusively a 21st-century phenomenon. Both forms of violent crime have occurred throughout history, but they have gained more attention and recognition in different time periods due to various factors, including changes in communication, law enforcement techniques, and public awareness.
Serial killing, which involves a series of murders committed by the same person over an extended period, has been documented in various historical periods. However, it is true that the concept of serial killers as we understand it today, with extensive profiling and media coverage, became more prominent in the 20th century. This can be attributed to advancements in forensic science, criminal profiling, and the rise of mass media.
Mass killing, on the other hand, is not limited to the 21st century either. Acts of mass violence, such as mass shootings and genocides, have occurred throughout history. While the 21st century has seen some high-profile cases of mass killings, it is not accurate to suggest that this form of violence only emerged in this century.
Both serial killing and mass killing are complex phenomena influenced by a variety of social, psychological, and cultural factors. It's important to approach these topics with nuance and avoid generalizations about their historical occurrence. Instead, it's more accurate to say that our understanding, awareness, and documentation of these types of crimes have evolved over time.
連續殺人，是一個需要歷時多年，建構繁複象徵系統，無窮耐心等待，才能完成的作品；隨機殺人，前因亦複雜，但比起連續殺人而言，則憑藉的是衝動，在很短時間內完成 （意思是說，就是早洩），而且明顯自毀，沒有打算，活著離開，殺戮現場。小結，衝動自毀，是隨機殺人關鍵；你要理解，我們當今世界，剩下的只有，衝動自毀早洩。再者，隨機殺人，使用工具，決定其格調。持槍他殺自殺，一次完成者，堪稱乾脆；用刀亂砍，開車亂撞者，通常事後會裝病 （是幻聽叫我去做的），或大叫「草泥馬B你要搞清楚我爸爸是xxx」，企圖脫罪，堪稱孬種。

The Psychopath Epidemic: Why the World Is So Fucked Up and What You Can Do About It (Cameron Reilly, 2020) (2023-9-23)
Similar to the bestselling Sociopath Next Door comes a unique look at the psychopaths among us and how our society--from businesses and governments to religions--encourages and rewards psychopathic behavior, and what average citizens can do to survive and thrive when we must live with, learn from, or be led by sociopaths.
Psychiatrists estimate that 1 percent of the adult population are psychopaths. That's about two million Americans. And they are our bosses, our politicians, our priests, and our neighbors. And they are running our economy and our lives.
Every day in the news we hear about people in positions of power doing deplorable things--in business, politics, and government, from sexual harassment to polluting the environment to covering up crimes. And it's no wonder considering a small percentage of people wield a large amount of power, and that these very same people fit the definition of a "psychopath."
A highly engaging and gripping read, Cameron Reilly's book adds to our growing understanding of sociopaths with a detailed analysis of how our society encourages and rewards psychopathic tendencies, and how, because of this, psychopaths the world over have risen to power. Using historical references to pop culture examples, Reilly offers a field guide to psychopaths--how to spot them and how to outmaneuver them so you can keep your sanity intact. This is the first-of-its-kind book to examine the shocking evidence and then suggest practical solutions for saving us all.
What’s the difference between sociopath and antisocial personality disorder? (ChatGPT, 2023-9-23)
"Sociopath" is not a formal psychiatric or psychological diagnosis, but it is a term sometimes used colloquially to describe individuals who exhibit certain traits and behaviors associated with Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD). ASPD, on the other hand, is a recognized mental health diagnosis with specific criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Here are the key differences:
Sociopath:
Informal Term: As mentioned, "sociopath" is not a formal diagnostic term in the field of psychology or psychiatry. It is a label often used in common language to describe individuals who engage in harmful or antisocial behavior and may exhibit traits associated with ASPD.
Emphasis on Behavioral Traits: The term "sociopath" typically focuses on observable behaviors and traits, such as deceitfulness, manipulation, impulsivity, disregard for the rights of others, and a lack of empathy. It may be used to describe someone who is seen as manipulative, irresponsible, and lacking in moral or ethical principles.
Lack of Specific Diagnostic Criteria: Since "sociopath" is not a formal diagnosis, there are no specific diagnostic criteria or assessment tools associated with it. It is a broad and subjective term.
Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD):
Formal Diagnosis: ASPD is an official diagnosis listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), which is widely used by mental health professionals for diagnosing mental disorders.
Specific Diagnostic Criteria: To be diagnosed with ASPD, an individual must meet specific criteria outlined in the DSM-5, which include a pervasive pattern of disregard for the rights of others, deceitfulness, impulsivity, irritability and aggression, consistent irresponsibility, lack of remorse, and a history of conduct disorder symptoms before the age of 15.
Clinical Assessment: Diagnosis of ASPD is typically made by mental health professionals based on clinical evaluation, interviews, and a review of the individual's history and behaviors. It is a recognized mental health disorder.
In summary, while "sociopath" is a term used informally to describe individuals who exhibit certain traits and behaviors associated with antisocial behavior, Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is a formal psychiatric diagnosis with specific criteria and recognized in the field of mental health. When professionals assess and diagnose individuals, they typically use the criteria for ASPD rather than the colloquial term "sociopath" to describe and address these behaviors.
What’s the difference between psychopath and sociopath? (ChatGPT, 2023-9-23)
The terms "psychopath" and "sociopath" are often used colloquially to describe individuals who exhibit harmful or antisocial behavior, but in the field of psychology and psychiatry, these terms are not official diagnostic categories. Instead, professionals typically use the diagnosis of Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) to describe individuals who display chronic patterns of disregard for the rights of others and engage in behaviors that violate societal norms. However, it's important to note that there can be confusion and overlap in the use of these terms, and different experts may use them differently. Here are some distinctions that are sometimes made:
Psychopathy:
- Origin: Psychopathy is often suggested to have a more biological or genetic basis. Some researchers propose that it is a personality trait or disposition that individuals are born with.
- Personality Traits: Psychopaths are characterized by traits such as superficial charm, manipulativeness, a lack of empathy, and a tendency to be glib and charming on the surface while hiding their true intentions.
- Emotionality: Psychopaths are often described as emotionally shallow, with a lack of genuine emotional attachments or empathy for others.
- Stability: Psychopathy is generally considered to be a stable personality trait that remains relatively consistent over time.
Sociopathy:
- Origin: Sociopathy is sometimes attributed more to environmental factors and life experiences. Some experts suggest that sociopathy may develop as a response to adverse childhood experiences, trauma, or dysfunctional family environments.
- Personality Traits: Sociopaths may share some traits with psychopaths, such as deceitfulness and a disregard for the rights of others. However, they may be more erratic in their behavior and emotions.
- Emotionality: Sociopaths may form shallow emotional attachments but can sometimes display bursts of intense emotion, particularly anger.
- Stability: Sociopathy is sometimes seen as a less stable condition than psychopathy and may be more influenced by environmental factors.
It's important to emphasize that the terms "psychopath" and "sociopath" are not used in the official diagnostic criteria of mental health disorders. Instead, the diagnosis of Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is used when a person meets specific criteria, such as a pervasive pattern of disregard for the rights of others, deceitfulness, impulsivity, irritability, and a history of conduct disorder symptoms in childhood.
In clinical practice, the focus is on diagnosing and treating individuals with ASPD rather than distinguishing between psychopathy and sociopathy. Regardless of the terminology used, individuals with ASPD often exhibit harmful behaviors and may benefit from appropriate interventions and treatment.
What’s the difference between psychopath and antisocial personality disorder? (ChatGPT, 2023-9-23)
Psychopathy and Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) are related but distinct psychological constructs. Both involve behaviors that are often characterized by a disregard for the rights of others, but they have different origins, diagnostic criteria, and implications. Here are the key differences between the two:
Diagnostic Criteria:
Psychopathy: Psychopathy is not an official diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), which is commonly used by mental health professionals for diagnosing mental disorders. Instead, it is typically assessed using various psychopathy assessment tools, such as the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R). These tools evaluate psychopathic traits, including interpersonal manipulation, shallow affect, lack of empathy, and impulsivity.
Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD): ASPD is a recognized mental health disorder listed in the DSM-5. To be diagnosed with ASPD, an individual must meet specific diagnostic criteria, including a history of conduct disorder symptoms before the age of 15, a pervasive pattern of disregard for the rights of others, deceitfulness, impulsivity, irritability and aggression, consistent irresponsibility, lack of remorse, and failure to conform to societal norms.
Origin:
Psychopathy: Psychopathy is considered to have a more hereditary or innate component. Some research suggests that psychopathy may have a stronger biological and genetic basis, and individuals with psychopathy may exhibit these traits from a very young age.
ASPD: While there may be a genetic predisposition to antisocial behavior, ASPD is often linked to a history of childhood conduct disorder and environmental factors, such as childhood adversity, neglect, abuse, or exposure to criminal role models. Conduct disorder is a precursor to ASPD and is typically diagnosed in childhood or adolescence.
Assessment:
Psychopathy: Psychopathy is assessed using specialized tools like the PCL-R or the Psychopathy Checklist for Youth (PCL-Y). These tools measure psychopathic traits, interpersonal functioning, and behavioral history.
ASPD: ASPD is assessed using the criteria outlined in the DSM-5. Mental health professionals evaluate a person's history and current behavior to determine if they meet the criteria for ASPD.
Implications:
Psychopathy: Psychopathy is often associated with a more severe and chronic form of personality disturbance, and individuals with high psychopathic traits may exhibit less responsiveness to treatment or rehabilitation. They tend to have a higher risk of engaging in repeated criminal behavior.
ASPD: While ASPD is also associated with a disregard for the rights of others and a propensity for criminal behavior, it encompasses a broader range of individuals who may or may not have psychopathic traits. With appropriate treatment and intervention, some individuals with ASPD can make progress and reduce harmful behaviors.
In summary, psychopathy and Antisocial Personality Disorder are related constructs, but psychopathy is not an official diagnosis in the DSM-5 and is typically assessed using specialized tools. ASPD is a recognized mental disorder with specific diagnostic criteria. Both conditions involve behaviors that can harm others and society, but they differ in terms of their origins, assessment methods, and implications for treatment and management.
Can we regard antisocial personality disorder as a rebel without a cause? (ChatGPT, 2023-9-23)
While it may be tempting to draw a parallel between individuals with Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) and the concept of a "rebel without a cause," it's important to recognize that these are distinct concepts, and oversimplifying ASPD in this manner can lead to misunderstandings about the disorder.
Antisocial Personality Disorder is a recognized mental health condition characterized by a pervasive pattern of disregard for the rights of others, lack of empathy, chronic violation of societal norms, impulsivity, and a propensity for deceit and manipulation. People with ASPD often engage in behaviors such as lying, stealing, manipulation, and even criminal activities without feeling guilt or remorse. Their actions can cause significant harm to others and society at large.
On the other hand, the idea of a "rebel without a cause" typically refers to a person who engages in rebellious or defiant behavior without a clear or meaningful motive. This concept is often associated with youth or countercultural movements and is often seen as a form of adolescent rebellion or nonconformity.
While there may be some superficial similarities between certain aspects of ASPD and the image of a "rebel without a cause" (such as defiance of societal norms), it's essential to distinguish between the two:
ASPD is a recognized mental health disorder with specific diagnostic criteria, whereas the concept of a "rebel without a cause" is more of a cultural or literary archetype.
ASPD is characterized by a pattern of behavior that involves manipulation, deceit, and a disregard for the rights of others, often resulting in harm to others, while the rebelliousness associated with a "rebel without a cause" may not necessarily involve harmful actions.
ASPD is a long-term and pervasive personality disorder that typically persists into adulthood, whereas the "rebel without a cause" concept is often associated with transient phases of defiance or nonconformity.
In summary, while there may be some superficial overlap in behavior, it is not accurate or helpful to equate Antisocial Personality Disorder with the idea of a "rebel without a cause." ASPD is a complex mental health condition that involves ingrained and harmful patterns of behavior, while the "rebel without a cause" is a cultural or literary archetype that may not necessarily involve harmful actions or indicate a mental disorder. It's crucial to approach the understanding and assessment of ASPD with clinical rigor and avoid oversimplifications.
How does Lacanian psychoanalysis make sense of psychopath? (ChatGPT, 2023-9-23)
Lacanian psychoanalysis, developed by the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, offers a unique and complex perspective on the understanding of psychopathy. Lacanian theory places a strong emphasis on language, subjectivity, and the unconscious, and it can provide insights into how psychopathy may be understood within this framework.
Lack of Symbolic Order: In Lacanian terms, the symbolic order is a fundamental concept that represents the realm of language, culture, and social norms. It is through the symbolic order that individuals come to understand themselves and their place in society. Psychopathy can be seen as a disruption in the individual's relationship with the symbolic order. Psychopaths may struggle to fully engage with the social and moral norms that govern society, leading to a lack of empathy and remorse.
Absence of the Name-of-the-Father: Lacan introduces the concept of the "Name-of-the-Father" as a symbolic function that represents the authority and prohibition of the father figure in a person's life. This concept plays a crucial role in the development of the superego, which regulates an individual's behavior according to societal norms. In the case of psychopathy, there may be a failure to integrate this symbolic function, resulting in a lack of internalized moral constraints.
Imaginary and Mirror Stage: Lacan also discusses the role of the imaginary and the mirror stage in the development of a person's self-identity. In psychopathy, there may be disruptions in the development of a stable and coherent self-image, leading to difficulties in forming meaningful relationships and empathizing with others.
Lack of the Phallus: In Lacanian theory, the phallus represents not just a physical organ but also a symbol of desire and lack. Psychopaths may display a heightened sense of narcissism and a focus on their own desires, which can hinder their ability to engage with others on a meaningful emotional level.
It's important to note that Lacanian psychoanalysis is just one of many theoretical frameworks for understanding psychopathy. Psychopathy is a complex and multifaceted condition that can be approached from various psychological and psychiatric perspectives, including cognitive, behavioral, and biological ones.
Lacanian psychoanalysis provides a philosophical and linguistic lens through which to view psychopathy, emphasizing the role of language, symbolism, and subjectivity in understanding the condition. However, it is essential to consider multiple perspectives and integrate them to gain a comprehensive understanding of psychopathy. Additionally, the treatment of psychopathy typically involves a multidisciplinary approach that may include psychotherapy, medication, and behavioral interventions.
