在这场探究psychopaths的生活及其臭名昭著的狡黠行为的引人入胜的旅程中，心理学家Kevin Dutton揭示了我们所有人都处在一条“疯狂”的谱系之上。结合脑部扫描与neuroscience的最新进展，Dutton表明，缺乏同理心的天才脑外科医生与嗜杀成性的Ted Bundy之间的共同点，可能远超我们愿意承认的程度；而昏暗停车场里的劫匪，事实上很可能拥有与行业巨头相同的处变不惊的沉着。Dutton认为，确实存在生活在我们当中的“functional psychopaths”

依我看，如果你打算拿医学来打比方，一个更有意思的对比是外科医生跟普通内科医生完全是反过来的。如果你相信凯文·达顿的《反社会人格者的智慧：圣人、间谍与连环杀手能教给我们怎样的成功法则》（这也是这篇赫芬顿邮报文章的依据）：http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eric-barker/which-professions-... 这就说得通……
A more interesting comparison if you're going to use medicine, IMO, is how it's the exact opposite for surgeons compared to doctors. If you believe The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success by Kevin Dutton (which is the basis of this HuffPo article): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eric-barker/which-professions-... It makes…
