Why has Bamber campaigned to say he isn't a psychopath?

[Holly Goodhead]

I've got chronic OCD if anyone is interested.  No?

How does it manifest?

But it's not our qualifications we rely on, it's the qualifications of the psychiatrist that classified Bamber as a psychopath pre-trial.

Most of the 'evidence' quoted on here has been thought up by posters. I have seen nothing originating from this  psychologist, whose name, qualifications and experience no-one seems able to supply.

For some reason I'm reminded of the Beattie BT advert;

And yet you seem quite tolerant of the idea (dreamt up by someone who doesn’t have an ology to the best of my knowledge) that Sheila suffered from some sort of attachment disorder.  Why is that, out of interest?

Bar Council and media comment.

Why would self-employed barristers (time is money) waste time effectively gossiping about a historic case with a liitle known book author?  To what end?  Bar Council rules seem to rule it out?

Anyway at least none of us are psychopaths!

most people endorse some aspect of psychopathy.

I wouldn't be too sure about that.

Perhaps those who offer endless examples of 'evidence' of Jeremy Bamber's psychopathy should acknowledge their lack of qualifications also.

One doesn’t need to be a trained musician to know Beethoven composed beautiful music, Gunit.

In just the same way they don’t need to be trained to know when someone isn’t a musician.

Anyone of average intelligence can see that Jeremy Bamber is a psychopath...don’t you agree? 😌

I assume you think there's no need for psychiatrists and psychologists then? Are those of average intelligence able to replace any other medical professionals in your opinion? It would save the NHS a fortune in wages if so.

Well actually, it's you who disputes what the psychiatrist said about Jeremy pre-trial.

Psychiatrists and psychologists don’t exist solely to diagnose psychopaths.  It is possible for a perceptive and well educated lay person to id someone with personality disorders imo.

Average intelligence plus perceptive and well educated? So many generalisations and assumptions. Jasper Carrott was good at it;

I didn’t mention average intelligence, thst was someone else.  If you don’t think it is possible for a layperson who is perceptive and well-educated to tell if someone msy have a personality disorder either through personal experience of them or through researching their behaviour and actions then perhaps you could explain why not.

How do you recognise a perceptive person, and what is, in your opinion, a well-educated person? In my opinion perceptiveness is something others decide we have, not us. It's also a complicated question as to what being well-educated means.

Until you can define what you mean by those words you can't use them as a benchmark.
