That's a psychopath, alright. Just a few things: most clinical psychs don't use the PCL-R. It's usually used mostly in a forensic setting, like testing people incarcerated, pre-sentencing psych evals, etc. Many clinicians do use the MCMI or MMPI though and diagnose using the DSM - in the latest version of the DSM, psychopathy is only on the scale of antisocial personality disorder. As such, psychopathy isn't a diagnosis most clinical psychs would use.
There is a ton of debate within the psych community (like decades worth) over psychopathy -> if it's real, if it's the same disorder as antisocial personality, whether sociopathy and psychopathy are interchangeable, etc. It's tough to get a grasp on it when even professionals can't agree.
My two cents is that psychopathy is a real personality disorder in and of itself. Most psychopaths test high for antisocial but not all antisocials test high for psychopathy. If one thinks of cluster B disorders (histrionic, narcissistic, antisocial and borderline) like siblings it helps. You know, there's a family resemblance. The PD's are very similar - there's a slight overlap with all of them (and psychopathy). So, when someone is comorbid (a mix of psych disorders) it can be very difficult to see which 'parent' the eyes or ears come from.
Just as an example:
psychopaths, borderlines, and antisocials especially often have difficulty maintaining interpersonal relationships but the reasons why are totally different.
I personally believe Jodi is a blend of narcissistic, antisocial, and borderline....but most importantly and predominately, psychopathic.
JMO and FWIW (Happy to have Mindmatters correct me too since I got my psych degree through the School of Hard Knocks.
