  • The Primitive Defense Gallery: How Psychopaths Use Splitting, Projective Identification, and Omnipotent Control in High-Stakes Negotiations

    The Primitive Defense Gallery: How Psychopaths Use Splitting, Projective Identification, and Omnipotent Control in High-Stakes Negotiations
    Apr 22 2026
    In this episode, we examine the Primitive Defense Gallery used by psychopaths in high-stakes negotiations, focusing on the mechanisms of splitting, projective identification, and omnipotent control. These primitive defenses allow individuals to distort reality, externalize unwanted emotions, and maintain a fantasy of total mastery, often creating confusion and imbalance at the negotiating table. The discussion provides practical insight into recognizing these patterns and protecting one’s position without being drawn into psychological manipulation.

  • Psychopathy as a “Deficit of Internalization”: A Psychodynamic Perspective

    Psychopathy as a “Deficit of Internalization”: A Psychodynamic Perspective
    Apr 21 2026
    In this episode, we explore the psychodynamic theory that psychopathy represents more than a simple lack of empathy — it is a fundamental deficit of internalization. Drawing on object-relations perspectives, the discussion examines how early failures in forming stable internal representations of care and authority leave the individual without an inner superego or moral anchor. This structural emptiness helps explain the psychopath’s superficial charm, instrumental aggression, and apparent immunity to guilt or lasting behavioral change.
