The Successful Psychopath

Adrian Furnham

Chapter 4 in The Elephant in the Boardroom, 2010, pp 97-110 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract There is an extensive, compulsive and fascinating literature on the psychopaths among us. Films have made people think psychopaths are all deranged axe-murderers and serial killers. But they are also convicts and mercenaries; con-artists and corporate executives. This chapter will look at what Hare (1999) called “White Collar” psychopaths and what are now often referred to as successful psychopaths.
