Psychopaths can be born or made #EvilAndEmpathy

Female psychopaths (rare) engage in passive aggressive, parasitic, antisocial behaviours, which are more difficult to detect #EvilAndEmpathy

Psychopaths have a utilitarian ethics based on numbers rather on emotions #EvilAndEmpathy PSYCHE SOCIETY

Psychoanalytic formulation moves us from the 'what' to the 'why' of psychopathy #EvilAndEmpathy #mentalhealth PSYCHE SOCIETY

Psychopaths externalise anxiety, vulnerability & guilt, leading to a lack of a moral conscience #EvilAndEmpathy PSYCHE SOCIETY

The prison system may create, rather than rehabilite psychopaths, making therapy crucial #EvilAndEmpathy PSYCHE SOCIETY

In five billion years, our Milky Way begins to collide with the Andromeda galaxy. But not to worry. The Sun burns Earth to a crisp long before then.

Looking forward to the #RiversofRemembering webinar this evening. Thank you to all who RSVP'd with PSYCHE SOCIETY. Keep an eye out for some poignant extracts from the talk...

Welcome to my webinar: #RiversOfRemembering "#Memory, perhaps the only thing that links the *you* sitting here today to the many ‘you’s’ of every previous day of your existence." PSYCHE SOCIETY

Anthony Townsend , interesting how memory is so fragile yet can be consolidated #RiversofRemembering

personally, going to start saying that i did not do well on a test because the information is semantic and has no emotional connection to me 😂 Anthony Townsend #RiversOfRemembering

Anthony Townsend On implicit and episodic memory, regarding the synaptic consolidation, is it possible for synaptic consolidation to be shifted somewhere else? Such as where trauma lives in other cells in our body as a result of an experience?

"#Memories may, therefore, be understood as predictions about what will help us meet our needs or how to subvert them.” #RiversOfRemembering PSYCHE SOCIETY

I wish every client could walk in and say “a repressed implicit memory linked to an emotional experience has just surfaced causing me these negative feelings, can you check it out?” 🤣 Anthony Townsend

“People think memory is like a recording device. It’s actually more like Wikipedia: Information gets stored there but you can go back and change it…and so can other people.” #RiversofRemembering PSYCHE SOCIETY

“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river and he is not the same man” #RiversOfRemembering PSYCHE SOCIETY

"If we listen carefully, we can learn our needs and form new strategies to meet them." - Anthony Townsend (2020) #RiversOfRemembering PSYCHE SOCIETY

Anthony Townsend thank you so much for the insightful lecture on memory #RiversofRemembering...Memories are created by experiences and represented in emotions. Listening to our emotions tell us a story about ourselves... Anthony Townsend (2020)
