Abstract

Um svakog čovjeka, uz svijetlu, ima i svoju mračnu stranu koja se može prezentirati kao patološka normalnost i biti prihvaćena u društvu, a može ometati funkcioniranje osobe i njezine okoline u tolikoj mjeri da se promatra kao psihopatologija. Preduvjet za promatranje psihičkih poremećaja je poznavanje normalnog razvoja i funkcioniranja psihe. Psihopatija je ubikvitarna među ljudima, a psihopatske crte ličnosti u nekoj mjeri prisutne su kod svakog čovjeka. Izvrsna manipulacija drugima, nedostatak empatije i osjećaja krivnje, šarmantnost, slatkorječivost, neustrašivost i ostvarivanje svojih ciljeva pod svaku cijenu osobine su koje mogu donijeti određene prednosti u poslovnom svijetu i, u nekoj mjeri, smatraju se poželjnima, a zbog njihove učestalosti, smatraju se i normalnima. Psihopate obilježava izvanredna sposobnost glumljenja i pretvaranja što vodi u brojne probleme pri dijagnosticiranju poremećaja. Psihopatija se često pogrešno izjednačava s antisocijalnim poremećajem ličnosti, stoga je u DSM-5 proširen dijagnostički kriterij i psihopatija je uvrštena kao posebna kategorija unutar antisocijalnog poremećaja ličnosti. Osoba će se promatrati u okvirima psihopatije ako svojim postupcima nanosi štetu drugim ljudima i posjeduje kriminalne i antisocijalne obrasce ponašanja. Kao pomoć u ocjenjivanju, postoje skale za procjenu psihopatije gdje osobe moraju ostvariti određeni broj bodova kako bi se govorilo o psihopatskoj ličnosti. Brojna istraživanja provedena su kako bi se dokazale strukturne i funkcionalne promjene u mozgu i etiologija psihopatije, pronašli potencijalno odgovorni geni i procijenio utjecaj okoline na razvoj psihopatskih osobina, a sve sa svrhom boljeg razumijevanja i razvoja prevencije i liječenja. Cilj ovog rada bio je analizirati prisutnost širokog spektra psihopatskih osobina koje se, s jedne strane, smatraju patološki normalnim osobinama prisutnim u društvu, a s druge strane, promatraju kao poremećaj koji zahtijeva liječenje i izopćavanje iz društva.

Abstract (english)

The mind of every man, in addition to the light, also has its dark side which can be presented as pathological normality and be accepted in society. Also, it can interfere with the functioning of a person and their environment to such an extent that it is viewed as psychopathology. A prerequisite for observing mental disorders is the knowledge of the normal development and functioning of the psyche. Psychopathy is ubiquitous among people, and psychopathic personality traits are to some extent present in every human being. Excellent manipulation of others, lack of empathy and guilt, charm, eloquence, fearlessness and achieving their goals at all costs are qualities that can bring certain benefits in the business world and, to some extent, are considered desirable. Because of their frequency, they are considered normal. Psychopaths are characterized by an extraordinary ability to act and pretend which leads to a number of problems in diagnosing the disorder. Psychopathy is often mistaken for antisocial personality disorder, so the DSM-5 expands the diagnostic criteria and psychopathy is included as a separate category within antisocial personality disorder. A person will be observed within the framework of psychopathy if his actions harm other people and possesses criminal and antisocial patterns of behavior. As an aid in assessment, there are psychopathy assessment scales where individuals must score a certain number of points to speak of a psychopathic personality. Numerous studies have been conducted to demonstrate structural and functional changes in the brain and etiology of psychopathy, find potentially responsible genes, and assess the environmental impact on the development of psychopathic traits, all with a view to better understanding and developing prevention and treatment. The aim of this study was to analyze the presence of a wide range of psychopathic traits that are, on the one hand, considered pathologically normal traits present in society and, on the other hand, considered as a disorder requiring treatment and excommunication.
