Female Psychopaths - Sociopathic Charisma

“…Additional documented characteristics of sociopaths as a group. One of the more frequently observed of these traits is a glib and superficial charm that allows the true sociopath to seduce other people, figuratively or literally – a kind of glow or charisma that, initially, can make the sociopath seem more charming or more interesting than most of the normal people around him. He or she is more spontaneous, or more intense, or somehow more ‘complex,’ or sexier, or more entertaining than everyone else. Sometimes this ‘sociopathic charisma’ is accompanied by a grandiose sense of self-worth that may be compelling at first, but upon closer inspection may seem odd or perhaps laughable.”  Stout, Martha. The Sociopath Next Door. 6-7.

Female Psychopaths - Destruction and Pain, but Hope

"Whether male or female, relative to their small numbers, psychopaths create a disproportionate amount of destruction and pain. A trail of victims can always be discovered in their wake. Both layfolk and professionals are ill-equipped to cope with these individuals. Fortunately, science has provided us with the means for better protecting ourselves. We are now able to identify the psychopath. It is a start."
