3 Features of Corporate [/Govt./Cabal] Psychopaths’ Offensiveness
Psychopaths' illusions/delusions about interaction produce and sustain their violence.
Posted May 23, 2023 Reviewed by Michelle Quirk
KEY POINTS
- Corporate psychopaths' destruction involves the abuse of power to control and bully others.
- Their distorted interpersonal cognitions sustain their violence and denial of responsibility.
- They maintain their illusion by dragging their victims down to their level of thinking and interaction.
Most research on psychopathy focuses on offenders involved in the criminal justice system. The Psychopathy Checklist–Revised (PCL-R) applied to this population has identified individuals with this type of personality disorder as carrying dysfunctional traits, such as shallow affect, impulsivity, lack of empathy, lack of remorse or guilt, irresponsibility, and socially deviant lifestyle and behaviors (Hare, 2016).
However, a number of psychopaths may possess the ability to evade prison and to flourish in organizational environments. A couple of studies (e.g., Boddy, 2014; Boddy et al., 2021) have shown that although corporate psychopaths who occupy senior-level positions share some similar symptoms as other types of psychopaths, their inimitable destruction involves their abuse of powers to control and bully subordinate coworkers with threats of or real violence and punishment, thus jeopardizing the interests of the organizations and the well-being of employees.
Unique Characteristics of Corporate Psychopaths
Although labeling psychopaths as carriers of dark personalities or invoking their toxic upbringings, genetic factors, or emotional dysregulation may all provide insights about the disorder, I contend that corporate psychopaths (broadly defined, including psychopaths in educational, government, or business institutions or organizations) have at least three unique characteristics that remain to be further examined, based on my direct observations of how some of them (four persons) interact with others in organizational settings. The following analyses are my personal perspective with the hope that it may provoke some thought for further research.
First, the psychopaths’ very sense of existence seems to depend upon constant encroachments on others’ rights and boundaries, including harassing people; persistently finding faults with others; attempting to control what their victims can do, think, decide, and choose; and being intolerant about any disagreement, typically accompanied by their verbal and emotional violence, such as intentional and prolonged screaming and hyperbolic rage uncalled for by the situations (see "How Managerial Psychopaths Use Emotions to Manipulate Others").
Certainly, they differentiate between individuals with different potentials, only selecting and attacking victims who are most vulnerable while putting up a charming façade before higher authorities or other individuals whom they want to please for the time being. As Boddy (2014) observed, this type of perpetrator in organizations experiences arousal and pleasure and a heightened sense of dominance when making others emotionally suffer.
Second, the psychopaths seem to live in a fabricated illusory world characterized by some false idea about human interaction. They use their distorted cognitions about interpersonal reality (that is, misrepresenting how and why others validate and invalidate their communications, see Sun, 2009) as their guideline to generate, rationalize, and sustain their interpersonal violence.

They use their distorted cognitions about interpersonal reality (that is, misrepresenting how and why others validate and invalidate their communications, see Sun, 2009) as their guideline to generate, rationalize, and sustain their interpersonal violence.
In particular, they have the false belief that fear and pain regulate others’ actions. Additionally, their defense strategies include denial of responsibility, blaming others, or external factors for their wrongdoings. Those approaches and defenses represent distorted interpersonal cognition because they are invalid for the recipients (see "Why Are Some People Habitually Aggressive?").
Third, it is difficult for them to be disillusioned by conventional treatments and approaches because they rely parasitically on their victims to maintain their sense of false certainty about the interpersonal world through dragging their victims down to their levels of operation. If the victims react that fall within their manipulation, they would maintain the false sense of certainty. Their victims who try to use logic and reasoning to debate with psychopaths about their misconduct may involuntarily confirm the perpetrators' false sense of certainty about their illusion because they expect to see aggression-generated reactions.
Additional evidence regarding psychopaths’ need for a sense of certainty comes from the observation that although they enjoy their self-inflation and grandiosity, they fear abandonment and exclusion.
Summary
In short, the analyses show that corporate psychopaths have at least three unique characteristics: (1) their very sense of existence seems to depend upon constantly harassing selected victims, (2) their distorted interpersonal cognitions sustain their violence and denial of responsibility, and (3) they maintain their interpersonal illusion through the ploys that drag their victims down to their level of thinking and interaction.
Psychiatrists: The Criminals Behind the Scenes of the Conservatorship Business
When I saw the email come in, I froze.
The message described a psychiatrist who had allegedly committed perjury, which sealed the deal for a conservatorship to be put in place for a vulnerable, elderly wealthy woman. The psychiatrist presented a psych evaluation in court, diagnosing his victim with a delusional disorder. She had no previous mental health diagnosis, nor a history of psychiatric treatment, but nonetheless, the diagnosis was accepted by the judge.
I remember thinking to myself, this criminal network runs deeper than I thought, and this is really bad.
It was the same conservator that my mom had been previously placed under, and I immediately started to panic. I had the same thoughts that I had during my mom’s conservatorship nightmare: If it was so easy to get someone with no psychiatric history seamlessly diagnosed and locked into a conservatorship, how many other vulnerable people out there were at the mercy of this network of corruption?
Around 1.5 million Americans are under a conservatorship. Many will point the finger at the conservators as the primary focus of criminal behavior; however, the web of corruption runs deep, with layers of complicit individuals that work in conjunction with the conservators to allow them to take over someone’s entire life—both financially, and in terms of their personal well-being.
Rarely do you find discussions about the doctors behind the scenes who are vital to establishing a conservatorship. For the most part, without a psychiatric evaluation, a conservatorship cannot usually be solidified, which means the psychiatrist plays a fundamental role in the process.
After years of exposure to these criminal practices, I have come to understand that there’s almost no escape, even if you have a loved one who will try to help you by fighting the system of conservatorship abuse. The doctor’s note rules; the psychiatrist’s evaluation is held as the proof and the high standard that anyone fighting a conservatorship must defy. Since psychiatrists and conservators work together to implement a conservatorship, it is no surprise that in addition to these cultivated relationships there are also established ongoing relationships with the same judges, attorneys, and court-appointed counsel.
Since it is crucial to have a doctor’s note, the power and influence the doctors have within the layered network of conservatorships is monumental. They can deem someone incompetent and submit it to the court, which seals the deal on an individual’s future. Most of the conservators have relationships with these doctors. They work in cahoots to make sure their victim’s liberties are usurped for pure financial gain. Consequently, these corrupt doctors receive kickbacks from conservators that want those clients for astronomical wealth. Psychiatrists charge an exuberant amount of money for a psych evaluation, and if you want a different doctor’s evaluation to be considered by the court that’s more money out of your pocket you have to spend. Even if you have the funds to request another evaluation, the chance of reversing a diagnosis is slim to none.
Sadly, if you are a family fighting for a loved one to get a new doctor for a new psychiatric evaluation, you are going to pay thousands of dollars. Even then, that evaluation is up against the conservator’s chosen doctor’s evaluation that is already in place and documented in court, so your chances are low and will only amount to more doctors’ bills when attempting to make a case to stop or change a conservatorship.
Since a mental illness can be for life, once a person gets a diagnosis that results in a conservatorship, it is practically impossible to remove it. Therefore, if you are diagnosed with a mental illness, you are caught in the conservatorship trap. Now you have a doctor that can stand in the way of anyone’s chance to fight a conservatorship, as the courts rely heavily on their evaluations. Whether you are alone with no one to fight for you, or with a family member willing to fight for you, either way you are up against a criminal system that makes a corrupt conservator almost impossible to resolve.
When you have a corrupt conservator working with these compromised doctors to gain and keep clients, tragedy unfolds. If the Department of Justice would examine the relationships the conservators have with their chosen psychiatrists penning these notes, they will find similar stories: the same doctor, working with the same conservator, over and over again, acquiring conservatees who get stuck in the system all along the way.
If we want to take a serious look at changing the conservatorship process and successfully have legislation set forth for reform, there needs to be a deep examination into these relationships with conservators and the doctors making these evaluations. Unfortunately, these doctors manage to stay out of the spotlight, when really they are just as predatory as the conservators that stand in line to steal someone else’s life.
The most troubling yet telling aspect of this process is that the psych evaluations are locked. There is no transparency on evaluations, so no one can even begin to dispute or question their analysis. When it comes down to it, the heavy hand the psychiatrists play in the mental health world of conservatorships is far larger and more dangerous than anyone can even imagine. If a patient has no family or friends for support and are stuck in a hospital alone and end up in a locked facility, that’s one thing. But a person that has friends and family to look after them, yet still can’t beat a system that initiates the same protocols and same process to allow a conservatorship with no end in sight is another thing.
Take Los Angeles, for example. My mom’s previous conservator has been operating for decades. Since my mom’s emancipation from him, I have come across numerous victims stuck in his trap. Currently, he is working with the same court-appointed attorney that was assigned to Britney Spears to get another wealthy woman placed under his care. Yes, Spears’ conservatorship was dropped after years of public advocacy, which brought attention to her case, but, to date, she’s the only one. No conservatorship has been lifted in the state of California except for Spears, but she is a celebrity and had an ongoing #FreeBritney moment to apply pressure on the courts, while the rest of us are civilians fighting on our own.
I remember my mom’s first conservatorship hearing at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles. The same courthouse in which Spears’ case was heard, which needs to be under investigation at this point. I walked in with evidence of victims all across LA County who had gotten sucked into that conservator’s grip, but the judge immediately shut me down. That judge has since retired, yet if my mom’s conservator was consistently leaning on the robes of the same judge, is that not a red flag?
Court-appointed attorneys working with the same conservators is an easy correlation to question, as would be a look into the doctors that pop up again and again in these cases. Why are the same conservators working with the same psychiatrists, often in front of the same judges? These doctors have managed to operate under the radar and rig the system.
We need to dig deeper into the doctors who conduct these evaluations, who hide behind their sealed documents with no transparency and zero accountability. If a family member wants to get rid of a conservator that is working in conjunction with a psychiatrist that is making money on their evaluations, the family most likely loses any chance to succeed. There are a lot people playing into the criminality of the structure of the judicial system that are all liable for foul play, as there are payoffs to all the complacent and compliant operators within this business.
There is a lot to be said about conservatorship abuse and who is to blame and who is in charge, but when it comes down to it, in my opinion, the doctors are the real criminals that no one seems to be talking about or questioning. The root of corruption in conservatorship abuse begins and ends with the criminality of the doctors. If we want to truly address the complexities of conservatorship abuse, we must look to the doctors that sit at the helm of this shipwreck.
Just recently, I heard yet another example of how conservators use psychiatrists to keep their hands in the cookie jar. A family member offered to take over and remove a corrupt professional fiduciary conservator, and the conservator’s lawyer argued that the conservatee needed a psych evaluation in order to determine his mental competency, which somehow would justify keeping his conservator tethered to his estate. The family and conservatee wanted the conservator removed, so the conservator, alongside his compliant psychiatrist, skewed the narrative and presented the conservatee as “unfit” to make that decision. This occurs across the board in numerous cases when the psychiatrist is at play.
Arguments like, “a transition wouldn’t be good for him,” or “I don’t want to lose his caregivers” are flat-out lies. I’ve dealt with that nonsense firsthand. My mom was hospitalized twice, and the first time, the caregivers remained at her side on their phones and I questioned why they were still on the clock when my mom had a professional treatment team at her disposal. The second time, she was hospitalized for Covid and was in isolation for three weeks so she couldn’t have any caregiver by her side, but everyone continued to get paid around the clock. Yet, any caregiver that advocates for my mom gets fired on the spot. Is that continuity of care? No.
Who picks the psychiatrist? The conservator. Who pays for the psychiatrist? The conserved individual. Who is left in the dark? You, me, and everyone else struggling outside of this locked-down, well-oiled criminal machine. I might not have a voice once a conservator takes charge, but I do have a say here and now. I refused to be silenced by this madness, and nor should you.
How Can You Tell Someone Has Bad Management Skills? Research Says It Comes Down to 1 Simple Phrase
Studies comfirm one type of 'bad boss' behavior will lead to employee disengagement and even turnover.
One simple phrase
This type of behavior has come up frequently in research as a "bad boss" trait that leads to employee disengagement and even turnover. A 2019 BambooHR study found "taking credit for employees' work" was rated the worst manager behavior by 63 percent of respondents and something they would consider worth quitting over.
To be sure, one must ask: Could "taking credit for employees' work" actually work as a management strategy to get ahead? Or does it impede the leader and set him or her back? According to a study published on Forbes, which evaluated 3,800 leaders and measured their effectiveness when taking credit from others, "those leaders were rated as very ineffective leaders (13th percentile), while those who tried hard to give the credit to others were rated as some of the most effective leaders (85th percentile)."
Having coached hundreds of managers and execs, I believe this toxic tendency of hogging the spotlight and taking all the credit is about individual performance. Managers with this attitude are playing for the name on the back of the jersey and are only concerned about their accomplishments and how they look to superiors.
