Dr. Bandy Lee writes at Medium:
“At the onset of my quarter-century career, I encountered sociopaths and psychopaths mostly in jails and prisons, my main settings for clinical work. Very disturbingly, over time, I found them increasingly in leadership positions, as chief executive officers, legal professionals, or political leaders — and less in correctional settings. This means that society is not doing a good job at containing them, and they are escaping detection more and more. Just about all of them crave power, so that they can exploit the trust and privileges accorded them to bolster their fantasies of unlimited domination and their drive to harm others.”
