  • It’s not a specific mental defect either. It’s just a sophistic appeal to plausible sounding psychology speak. Psychobabble.

    Psychology experts feel the same way hearing “sociopath” as engineering experts feel hearing “quantum capacitor” or “chronometric transistor”. It’s like when a hacker on TV says they’ve decompiled the mainframe.

    Some psychologists have been charitable and decided the pop culture understanding is close enough to ASPD that it might as well mean ASPD, and I think they’re wrong. If laypeople want to be understood they should use the correct words. Using the wrong words has serious consequences when we’re talking about mental health.
