Psychologists and psychiatrists say the following environmental factors can create a psychopath (the most extreme form of sociopath):
| Studies show that 60% of psychopathic individuals have lost a parent. A child is deprived of love or nurturing; the parents are detached or absent. Inconsistent discipline: if one parent is stern and the other not, the child learns to hate authority and manipulate the soft parent. Hypocritical parents privately belittle their child while publicly presenting the image of a happy family. |
