Phil in the Blanks

Dr. Phil McGraw discusses antisocial personality disorder, also known as psychopathy or sociopathy. He explains that individuals with this disorder display a pattern of disregarding or violating the rights of others, either by ignoring them or actively harming them. They do not conform to social norms and often lie or act impulsively. While they know right from wrong, they lack empathy and remorse, making them selfish and uncaring. Antisocial personality disorder is more common in men and is often under-diagnosed because those with the disorder do not seek treatment. 

Dr. Phil emphasizes the importance of early intervention, provides a checklist to identify characteristics of antisocial personality disorder, and discusses the distinction between assertiveness and aggression. He dispels myths about the disorder.
