Yes, the term was changed to Antisocial awhile ago and I HATE that change. I just don't think it describes the disorder as well. When I think of someone being "antisocial" I usually think of someone who is unfriendly or introverted. Hopefully they will change it when the DSM is updated.

All of these (ASPD, NPD, BLPD) share so many characteristics in common and their criteria overlap. I see where you are coming from. When I think of Histrionic I think of the exaggerated emotions and I haven't seen that from Casey at all. The situations/interactions we have seen her in are...

What histrionic characteristics have you seen? I have to admit I'm only basing my opinion on the recorded conversations and written statements from police.

It would be a forensic psychologist who is used to dealing with lies and deceit so he/she should be well prepared for anything Casey brought to the table. I'd bet she is diagnosed with a Personality Disorder, either Antisocial (previously Sociopathic), Borderline or Narcissistic...could be a...

Add to that the fact that most of the public can't stand Casey and her parents seem to love her as much as any parent loves their child.

I also agree with this. I can't imagine what he is going through but I could see myself wanting the media to leave me alone, and I could see myself losing it at least once if they were always in my face.

This should be an easy one for those of you who have followed the case closely. I keep hearing that Casey said she last saw Caylee on June 9th, yet the grandmother said she had her on the 15th. So where did the grandmother pick up the child? Is Casey off a week from when she actually said she...

Sociopaths tend to have the ability to be extremely charming and manipulative as well...that, with the attributes AmberJack described...is a dangerous combination.

I agree that this case seems to have little mystery compared to other crimes. Casey's behavior is bizarre to say the least, especially considering she had weeks to come up with a story and only came up with lies which were so easy to expose. Unfortunately, a parent killing their child and then...

Good question! From all I've heard and read once you cross the line to killing it makes it easier to kill in the future. I think that is probably true for any kind of taboo behavior. I have always thought he did not mean to kill her but was concerned about the others in the house so he was...

There may have been something in the autopsy report that indicated death was immediate. Although the blood on Bri's pillow was initially reported to be a "spot", in the Dateline episode KT described it as "splatter" or "spray", I don't remember the exact word she used.

He could have seen her through the front, or side, of the house and decided to enter through the back door. IIRC the back door faces a driveway and he would be less likely to been seen by someone driving or walking down the street. It is really hard to tell how long he was watching Bri and her...

This appears to be an updated story of newshound's link...http://www.rgj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080727/NEWS18/80727020&OAS_sitepage=news.rgj.com%2Fbreakingnews Has some interesting statements which I'll highlight here- "We know he was stalking and targeting his victims, who were...

yoohoo, you really don't have to be that tough to attack 98 lb. women in their sleep. IMO he is a coward who sneaks up on petite, unsuspecting women. Not much of a "man" by any standard. newshound, the wording of that is odd. However, the only thing they seem to know for sure is that Bri...

Welcome yoohoo. I read on another site that the MacKay house was up for rent earlier this summer. It probably isn't unusual for the rentals around campus to be vacate this time of year with students going home for the summer. In regard to where the killer left Bri's body, I agree that he is...

Looks like the media actually reports on sexual crimes in LV!! I find it disgusting that the bail for robbing someone with a deadly weapon is over 3X as much as sexually assaulting them with a deadly weapon. What a message that sends. I guess "we" value money more than people/women in this...

There are a lot of things that are going to exist in every city whether or not they are legal but that doesn't make them necessary. Call me a prude but paying someone to have sex with you makes you a moron IMO. :loser:

I think it would be hard to argue that prostitution doesn't change the way women are viewed by some men. When women can be bought like a Hershey bar I don't think it is hard to objectify them. To be very honest I could never understand how someone could pay for sex and not think less of...

Blind being the operative word. Nevada leads in gun deaths, ownership Nevada Ranks #1 in Rate of Women Murdered by Men Crime rate per 100,000 people (2006) violent crimes- Murder- Reno=10.9 Nat'l avg.=7 Rape- Reno=47.5 Nat'l avg.=33.1 Overall Crime Index Reno=5835.4 Nat'l...

The cold hard truth, sadly. It is each person for themselves anymore. The warm fuzzies of the 60's are now looked at as being "liberal", which the right has successfully turned into a negative term. I'm all for personal responsibility but some need to realize that doesn't exclude compassion...
