The Psychopath Code
Decoding the Psychopath
There are some scary people around. People who take what they want, using their charm
and wits. Con artists. Professional liars. They take from friends, colleagues, family and
strangers alike. They never apologize or feel remorse towards the people they hurt. They
often have criminal careers. We call them by many names. Narcissist. Anti-social.
Sociopath. CEO. And more and more, we call them Psychopath.
Psychopaths raise so many questions. What is wrong with these people? Maybe they had
cold and distant parents. Maybe they suffered abuse as children? Maybe they have
something broken in them, a chemical imbalance, or evil demons. Or the next stage in
humanity's evolution. A new race of superhumans, perhaps? Can we identify them? Can we
learn to spot them in our homes and streets? What is going on in their minds? Are they
aware of the damage they do? Do they sleep well at night? How do we survive them? How
can such horrible people exist? Am I one of them?
Luckily, there are good answers, which lift the dread mystery from psychopathy. This was my
goal with this book: to decode the psychopathic mind and write a manual for the rest of us.
The material is based on my experiences and those of many others. It has been tested in
real life, and it seems to work. Having said that, please note the following section.

The Psychopath Code
You will need to realize several things. The first is, are you the victim of psychological
abuse? It is rarely overt. The bruises tend to be mental, not physical. An abusive relationship
is disguised in lies, the ones your abuser tells you, and the ones you tell yourself. That
makes it hard to see clearly.
Let's start with your feelings. Are you often sad, depressed, even suicidal? Do you feel
empty and worthless? Have you bent your life to the other person's needs? Do you take
blame for the failures, and do you keep trying to fix things? Do you feel you might be crazy?
Do you feel burnt-out? Are you lonely, and have you lost old friends and relations? Do you
drink a little too much?
If you're nodding to this list, you are probably in an abusive relationship. It is far more
common than you realize. I'd estimate 10% to 20% of people are in abusive relationships at
any point in time. It can be hard to recognize, admit, deal with, both for victims and for their
friends and family.
Next, let's examine the relationship that is stressing you. Did it start "perfect" and then turn
into a nightmare over time? Is it marked by sudden, unexpected crises? Is it characterized
by extreme emotions? Is there verbal or physical violence? Have you invested everything in
the relationship, with little in return? Has it become the only relationship that matters, over-
shadowing friends and family? Are you unable to imagine any alternatives?
These are the signs of the abusive bond. If this describes your situation, then you are under
attack. Assume the person doing this is a psychopath, with or without formal diagnosis. We'll
come to a detailed diagnosis later. What matters now is to recognize your situation, and how
you are being attacked. It may seem random, yet it is systematic. The goal is to confuse and
isolate you, strip you of your assets, then destroy and discard you. The violence is just part
of that.
If this does not describe your situation, then you can skip the rest of this section.
Now, take a fresh look at the other person. If you are facing a psychopath, it can be
impossible to see their real nature. You must look sideways, and by reflection off other
people. Do you see someone who cares for others, or someone who cares for themselves?
Do they make quiet, careful plans, or are they chaotic? Do they save and invest, or are their
finances in a mess? Are they surrounded by happy people, or by a cloud of stressed,
obsessed followers? Do they have a solid professional and social history, or is their past a
blank mystery?
When you come to the decision, "I am the victim of an abusive psychopath," then you are
halfway to the door. You will be tempted to flee, and when you talk about your realization
with others, they will tell you to get away. In common culture, "psychopath" means "serial
killer."
