Why is Casey Anthony so coldhearted and cavalier about her missing daughter Caylee?
Casey Anthony has finally been indicted for the first-degree murder of her daughter, Caylee Anthony. Casey is a sociopathic, superficial sensationalist. To a mental health professional, she fits the description of someone with an antisocial personality disorder - just a fancy name for "sociopath."…

Hi Dr. Mitchell. Fascinating & informative thread.
A few questions about some of the lesser known traits of sociopaths:
Why is bi-sexuality so prevalent in sociopaths?
Why is the ability to cry on cue so prevalanet in sociopaths? In otherwords, to manipulate others, sociopaths seem to use a technique of manipulating themselves into actually believing their own story, or a version of reality and thus seeming more convincing, how are sociopaths able to achieve this so well, meaning what aspect of sociopath lends itself to this specific ability.

DM,
Sounds like you are dealing with a lot. Sociopaths are noted for destroying others lives and often walk away unscathed.
Thanks for sharing a bit about your own experiences. I wish you only the best.

Hey Brian,
Thanks for stopping by and commeting. To answer your first question about bisexuality. I dont really know why. Do you have any tboughts?
In terms of the crying, sociopaths "do" feelings they do not experiece them other than rage. Often they will take their cues from others because they are emotionless inside, dead actually. They do not have the capacity to feel empathy for anyone or anything but if they are skilled they can pretend to feel.

Dr. Mitchell,
Yes, they do destroy lives. The x I am talking about in comment #75 has had her life destroyed by this sociopath. And he continues to destroy it to this very minute. Every tactic (brain washing, mental illness accusations, etc.) of control this criminal uses.
The full story will blow your mind. I have gained a solid 8 years of 24/7 lab study of the subject. Research by Sandra Brown MA has finally labelled the situation. On www.myspace.com/x15 I posted her studies. Click on 'women, feminists, radical women' (under the song listings) to read.
X has let me know how obsessed he is in destroying my life also. She didn't have to tell me.
As my music/business partner told me that "you just keep nudging these guys and they make a mistake". I am quite the activist. Since high school I have always been politically involved in issues involving the oppression of women, as have my music cohorts.
The guy is directly responsible for destroying a marriage and a humans life (x). The nature of a sociopath makes it difficult for the law to see the reality. However, I have done my part, with a bit more follow through to bring the actions of this criminal to light. I've nudged enough, compiled evidence. Just a matter of time before the law can finally see the truth.
Yeah, I've got a very ugly story on my hands. Let me just say a woman's life is in danger. Has been for quite a while.
Are you smarter than a sociopath? Oh yeah. That is easy because they don't think they are doing anything wrong. But they are. They get caught if there are people like you or me around. I hate oppression and a person being held against one's will by the obsession of a controller.
I do have a poster child situaion on my hands. Hit me up on the MySpace site mentioned above. I can tell you the story. It is evil. The fact that x is still alive is amazing. Yes, a life is in danger.
This mentioned sociopath will not escape unscathed.
stand up, fight!

Hey Douglas,
Thanks for commenting. Yes, I did check out your My Space page and saw your Dangerour Relationship Institue info. Women, and men too, definitely need to know about the dangers of relationships with sociopaths. It is always life changing in a negative way for those who become ensnared in the sociopath's life and web of lies.
Thanks for all your efforts in educating others about sociopaths aka Antisocial Personality Disorder.

Hi again Dr. Mitchell,
To answer your question, my guess is that many, if not all, of sociopaths are bisexual because they lack sexual boundaries. Because sexual boundaries may be based on morality, and since sociopaths lack any sense morality they also lack sexual boundaries, hence all of the reported cases of sociopaths being bi-sexual, and incestual. I know of atleast 3 high profile female sociopaths who regularly had sex with their biological adult sons. Hence I believe sociopaths simply lack any and all sexual boundaries, including their sexual preferences.
And on your response to my 'crying on cue' question, i'm not sure if you really answered it, or atleast I didn't understand your response. Why are sociopaths so good at crying on cue? Because It's a very specific kind of skill. What about sociopathy helps them produce fake tears like they do? In otherwords, what's going on inside their heads to achieve that, could they better at self-fantasization than regular folks?
84 - Douglas Mays
Dawn, regarding your question maybe my comment #75 will give you some perspective.
The answer to your 'congenital or learned?' question is BOTH!
The case I have experienced and observed heavily is that our sociopath is hardwired. Born that way.
His victim has aquired many features of the sociopath. Part of it is for her survival and complying with sociopathic demands. Shit rolls downhill...
the difference is that with a hardwired sociopath it cannot be cured. If it is a learned process it can be unlearned. Also, if one is hardwired sociopath, certain recognizable physical features go along with it. Line 10 people up, with one being a hardwired sociopath. I can pick the sociopath easily.
I saw something on Celebrity Rehab very interesting. I was observing Gary Busey's behavior. I was thinking that he must be a sociopath. He was, by means of head injury crushing the proper lobes to create such a personality.
Born with it, learned it (usually out of fear), or TBI (traumatic brain injury). Just be aware.
DM
85 - Douglas Mays
Dr. Juliann Mitchell! Comment #78, yeah that 'crying on que' business is true. I have seen it many times. The 'learned' res[ponse.
Plus, the rage thing I have seen. If the sociopath doesn't get their way, they go off! That is why our victims life is in danger, by her own means or his. She has attempted suicide (almost successful) in attempts to escape the trappings of the sociopath. Of course, he tries to blame it on me. Doctored evidence he created and other devices sure made life a hassle for me. Oh gosh, then the story gets really nuts. I am amazed how poor medical/psychiatric industries have been in NOT recognizing this person and criminal action.
Ironically, sociopathy/psychopaty is an illness I have no sympathy for. If the crime is committed, pay for it.
Thank you for awareness,
DM
86 - Brian
Hey Douglas, I agree with you that many sociopaths tend to have similar facial features & expressions. Especially with regard to their eyes & their stares. I've watched & read literally hundreds of cases of real life sociopaths, and from seeing their photos you can start to see striking similarities in their natural facial expressions.
Casey Anthony is a classic 'doe eyed' type of sociopath, her eyes are very wide, blank & serene looking.
87 - Dr. Juliann Mitchell, PhD
Hi Brian,
My apologies if my response wasn't clear. I will try to do better this time.
Sociopaths cry on cue because they have learned to do so. They do not cry because they feel sad or remorseful for their actions. They take their response cues from others. If they think they are supposed to cry then they can "turn on the faucet." Or if they think it will help them to appear to be more human and sad then they will cry.
Sometimes people mistakenly assume because a human is crying it means they feel deeply about something. In the case of a sociopath, the tears are always "crocodile tears." So crying does not come from a feeling inside it is a learned behavior of how "they are supposed to respond." Think of it as a learned, self preservation response on their part.
In terms of the bisexuality you might be right on target.I truly do not know. Please remember that much of the research conducted on sociopaths is done on the prison population. Because prisoners are incarcerated with only same sex persons this might also explain the bisexuality. I dont think we have enough of a true cross-section of sociopaths at this point in time.
Another point I need to clarify is that because someone is bisexual does not in anyway mean that they are sociopathic. Many sociopaths may be bisexual but that does not mean many bisexual persons are sociopaths.
Juliann

88 - Brian
Hi Dr. Mitchell, thanks for responding, but I'm afraid you're still not understanding my question, I'll try to clarify it:
I'm already aware of why sociopaths cry on cue in the sense you mean, to manipulate people, to appear to have emotions in particular circumstances. Even a non-expert on sociopathy can figure that part out.
My question is *how* do they cry on cue and what is it about sociopathy that makes them especially good at crying on cue. Because even as good manipulators the act of crying on cue is a very specific kind of skill. You must actually produce tears from your eyes. That takes more than just being a slick talker.
I know it's a learned response, as you said, but my question is, how do they actually do it, because the answer to that will be very telling in the thought abilities of a typical sociopath.
And on your comment about incarcerated sociopaths being bisexual due to prison, the problem with that theory is that a number of reported sociopaths were bisexual before they ever set foot in a prison.
But ty, It was a logical fact to point out, but I'll still lean to the theory that sociopaths are bisexual due to having no sexual boundaries, they can relate anyone and anything to sex, due to lacking the inherent sexual morality found in us 'normal folks'. Because as I mentioned, incest is also prevalent in sociopaths.
89 - Douglas Mays
Brian, hhhmmm...let me try to answer your question to the specifics you desire.
OK, how do they do it? It is acting. For instance, your good actors out there sometimes must cry on que for a movie part or something. Each actor seems to have a different method in the ability to do it. Some actors might say for a crying seen they 'think of a personal sad incident' or some can just turn on the water jets. Some cannot tear up, but still go thru the emotional actions of crying (while the make up people drop water on their eyes...).
I mostly see it in sociopaths as acted crying with struggled tears (none or light).
Method acting?

DM

Douglas, yes, though I'm afraid that answer is just stating the mere obvious, ofcourse crying on cue is acting, in fact that's the definition of crying on cue.
But my question goes specifically to sociopaths and why & how do sociopaths do it so much better & easily then us 'regular folks'.
Because it's a fact that their minds work differently than us. They are reported to have 'less' emotions than us, some experts say they completely lack emotions aside from rage. Yet they cry on cue better than us.
So exploration of this issue really goes to the critical subject of how their minds work.
Are they better at fantasization than regula people, do they actually in some ways feel more extreme emotions than regular folks, thus to use to make tears and overall seem more convincing.
Even some of the best actors in Hollywood can't cry on cue, even though they are brilliant actors in every other respect.
So ofcourse sociopaths use a mental trick or tricks to illicit tears, and with that, they also use a similar kind of strategy into seeming more genuine and convincing when they try to manipulate others in general.
So this question is a bit deeper than mere acting skills, it's about the inner dialogue of sociopaths, what are they thinking & how are thinking when they cry on cue and manipulate others in various ways.
Yes, it might be method acting perfected by years of learned response, but then again sociopaths don't see the world the same way regular people do, they are supposed to lack emotion and also lack empathy toward every other human being. So perhaps their version of method acting is much different than us regular folk.

why don’t the cops give her a lie detector? or truth serum? i think that casey used the chloroform on several occasions to knock her out, and i don’t believe this time was an accident. i don’t even think she used chloroform to kill her. i believe she used her bare hands or held her under water! i think that she planned murder with lil caylee still in her womb. why else would she lie about being pregnant? and that she never had sex? cmon!! she didn’t want the child, she was young and wanted to live. she hid the pregnancy for a reason, what did she plan on doing with caylee once she gave birth? i am 31, but when i think about being in jail, and how frightening that must be… i would crack! i can not have kids, it makes me sick of the woman that can, and then abuse the god given right! give lil caylee to me, i would love her! i also believe that CINDY talked her into having the child. CINDY probably pro mised CASEY that she would take care of her. once the child arrived, CINDY realized it was a big responsabilty it was to take on, and strated to put preasure on CASEY to do her part! that was never the agreement! so CASEY killed that beautiful baby girl! they are all at fault. they are all BABY KILLERS!
93 - Douglas Mays

Anyone know? Can a sociopath skate on a lie detector? Didn't it work on Ted Bundy?

I believe a great many sociopaths have actually been created by those around them. I do think there is a biological component to it as well (a predisposition). More about this here.
Surrendering to the sociopath we created - our kids

I think Casey's tears were genuine, but they are solely for herself, for the loss of her freedom and narcissistic supplies from her men and the possibility of spending a very long time in jail instead of entering 'hot body' competitions in nightclubs.
96 - Kathryn
Dr.,
Are all sociopaths are narcissistic?
97 - Dr. Juliann Mitchell, PhD
Kathryn,
Great question. The answer is a resounding, "Yes!" The interesting phenomenon with personality disorders such as ASPD or narcissism or borderline (to name a few) is that there are many overlaps. In other words, a person can have a primary personality disorder but also have 3, 4, 5, secondary ones as well.
Best wishes,

Gina,
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I know this story of Caylee Anthony has hit a nerve with you. It must be so hard for you to read about this case especially if you want to have children and cannot.I think this situation really can pull at one's heart strings.
In terms of a lie detector test I dont believe law enforcement can force someone to take one and I dont think the results are admissable in court even if person agrees to take a polygraph.
All my best,

Perhaps she has been misinformed, as many young people are, to believe that she will be 'given' new songs and theatre roles to perform if readiness to act is demonstrated, together with the fact that some entertainment roles are 'assigned' as a sort of community service required to atone for misdirected contact. Instead, her daughter is lost and lost bearing the same 'first' name as an older FL girl.
101 - Dr. Juliann Mitchell, PhD
Hi Kathryn,
To answer your question, Yes narcicissts do become depressed especially when their supply of admirers and those who feed their sense of entitlement and being special are depleted. As this so often happens as those around the narcicisst are worn out and exhausted. Thanks for all the good questions!

I was just reading through some of the posts. I found it comical that someone who does neither hold a CV or any sort of medical license would comment on a misspelling. I had to laugh at the person who called the Doc on this... For one thing, I know many doctors and they misspell things all of the time. Just because you are a doc does not mean that you should have to micro manage everything that you type, to be credible. Most of the doctors that I know, talk into a tape recorder and someone else writes it down, for the idiots that do not know this, it is called dictation. When you are mean spirited to a doctor or anyone else who is smarter than yourself, you just look foolish and ignorant. So, go on with your bad self lol
103 - Douglas Mays
shalena,
to add to your observation, one trait I have noticed about true socio/psychopaths is that they latch onto any insignificant detail and ride it as the biggest thing in the world.
Our 'victim' (as I spoke about in above comments) is a case of being a trained sociopath. Our victim will sometimes dwell on the most insignificant things as an 'end all' rage. This works for the real sociopath in this case because it diverts the real crimes away from him. See how sociopathy works? The delusions they create are incredible...
Anyway, yeah, a misspelling...something that a sociopath would latch onto in attempts to discredit.

Whoever wrote this article is a moron. I've studied sociopaths in and out. Casey has symptoms similar to histrionic personality disorder.
105 - Douglas Mays
Terrance. Back off a bit on the use of moron. Dr. Juliann Mitchell is'nt a moron.
Why? OK, the use of the word 'symptoms' A very subjective term. Many disorders may carry similar symptoms. Or a patient may display symptoms of 3 different disorders because they have 3 different disorders.
Yeah, I have a lot of hands on experience with psychopathy study and various other brain mis-wirings.
When studying and working with the brain and mind, you cannot be anal about it. Your view must be out of the box in order to be in the box.
Thanx,

I have read all of the comments and keep reading the question of whether or not sociopathic behavior is learned or biological and it seems to me that it could be both, since a sociopath as a child would be a very difficult person to bond with and nurture with very little positive reinforcement given, which would in turn compound the negative aspects of such a syndrome. I have no doubt that mental illness will play a role in Casey's defense. They will have a hard time, however, of convincing a jury that she did not know right from wrong, as she seems to be intelligent enough to manipulate just about everyone who crossed her path. I feel that her mother is the key to the truth of what happened, but as long as she is willing to play Casey's game, Casey will keep up the farce. I will be glad when the trial is over, because the prosecution isn't playing games and what will follow will be a sobering dose of reality for both Casey and Cindy. Thank you for an intelligent forum!
107 - Grace
I have read all the comments and mostly agree with what Dr. Mitchell has written - I also appreciate the polite way she has handled the various blogs (some of which haven't been too nice)! I just wanted to make a comment that has been overlooked and that is Casey is a very self-centered person. However, I can also be a self-centered person at times, so does that make me a sociopath? I think everyone has a selfish side to them, although some may have it stronger than others, I guess.
108 - Dr. Juliann Mitchell, PhD
Hi Grace,
Thanks for stopping by and for your gracious words. You bring up an interesting point about self-centeredness. I agree that everyone can be self-centered at times and to different degrees. The self-centeredness in a sociopath is to the extreme degree. They do not have the capacity nor the interest in putting anyone else's needs above their own. In fact they do not even recognize anyone else's needs or wants. Their self-absorption is total and complete.
109 - Mandy
First off, I find this article very interesting and I too think it is comical for people to be bashing it... especially because the couple of people who have bashed it seem to be responding from a very defensive place :-) hmmmmm....
Anyway, this question is probably neither here nor there, but it is something I have thought about from time to time. What are your thoughts on the name that Casey gave Caylee? If you notice in the transcripts and interviews of those involved, often times people accidentally use one name when they really mean to use the other. These 2 names are very, very similar, not to mention Casey also gave Caylee her middle name of "Marie". "Casey Marie Anthony" and "Caylee Marie Anthony"...
I almost wonder if Casey was so self-involved that she really didn't care what to name her child and used the first thing that came to mind, (I think Caylee is a beautiful name - I just mean that maybe she didn't give it a lot of thought since it sounds just like hers) OR if she wanted to name Caylee (sort of) after her as a kind of tribute to herself or something??? I wonder if this is also a common thing in sociopaths? Do they often name their children after themselves? (Please note- I am in no way implying that someone who names their child after them is a sociopath!!!) Like I said, this may be complete nonsense but it is just an observation on my part. I am currently pregnant and my husband and I want to make sure we name our baby the perfect name and we will keep brainstorming until we feel we have chosen the perfect one for our baby - probably not until we get to meet her or him :-) Anyway, any thoughts on this?

Giving birth in a hospital is assumed to be a "death's door" experience -- i.e., the mother must be very sick -- and hospital personnel might 'help pick' whatever name looms positive in the mother's mind at the time of the birth.

Hi Mandy,
So glad to have you read and comment. Yes it is true that the names Caylee and Casey are very similar. I wondered at the time if there a connection between using a name that began with the letter "C." Because there is Cindy, Casey, and Caylee. I would be curious to know what Cindy's mother's name is. I was not aware that Casey had given Caylee her middle name. All very intersting and quite observant on your part Mandy.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! I agree names can be very important.

Explain some of the contrasts between those diagnosed with anti-social personality disorder as opposed to borderline personality disorder. I agree that personality disorders seem to overlap in many ways. Has anyone taken a look at the criteria for these personality disorders? Or specific mental illnesses on Axis I in the DSM. We'd all have a difficult time not finding, at least one of the criteria, that describes us. Just sayin'.
114 - Douglas Mays
To answer the question about features of socio/psychopathy that may occur in all of us.
Yeah, we all display 'self-centeredness' at times in our lives, for example. How the hell do you think the term and concept even came into existence?
The difference is this: OK, most everyone in their life gets an acne pimple. Fine. Does that mean you you have massive chronic acne scars and other extreme features of acne? No.
There is a point where any feature crosses the line to chronic. A socio/psychopath is chronic and is unabled to change or be cured. It is a condition that is very dangerous to those around such people.

Something that confuses me is why did she make chloroform? There are so many already-made sedatives on the market, from Nyquil to Gravol, that she could have used to put Caylee to sleep. Why go through the bother of whipping up batches of chemicals when someone has done all that for you? Also, what do you think the search for shovel could possibly be for?
116 - Holly in Orlando
Cindy's middle name is Marie. Her mother's name is Shirley - so they started the CM's with Cindy on down. Casey can cry on cue because she is like a rat in the corner. She is angry - she is trapped. She feels like there is a small light on in the tunnel because the trial hasn't commenced yet, so there's still a chance, albeit miniscule, that she could get "off" light. Watch the DVD jailhouse recordings - she turns her "emotions" on a dime. When the questioning is soft or geared toward "poor baby Casey, we love you, we miss you so much sweetheart" talk - here comes the tears & the sweet little Casey girl. When the question is a "fast ball" - like when Daddy questions her answer about why she steals from her friend Amy "because I was in a very bad place, I was in a desperate time" - she suddenly can't offer any further information about that due to "who might be listening". If she wants to deflect Lee, she says to talk to Mom. If she wants to deflect Mommy's questions, she tells her to talk to Lee. So many references to Caylee in the past tense. And Cindy - she is evil to the core. I'm not letting her off on the easy exit of "denial" and grief - no way Jose!!!! Sorry - I don't buy it. She's 100% covering up for that piece of garbage daughter SHE created (in every sense of the word) so she doesn't "lose both of my girls". PATHETIC. I know first hand if she goes back to work at Gentiva, her staff will walk OUT.
117 - Jenny
I think this story is right on. I too believe that this gal is a sociopath. After watching the latest video's of the jailhouse visits, she reminds me of a person who might have another personality that did the crime...this is how she proclaims innocence in a conscious manner. Read the book, Heart Full of Lies. There you will see and understand what a sociopath is like. Casey fits the description to a tee. Something will happen to break this story....I hope. Otherwise, it's another OJ folks.
118 - Douglas Mays
Nancy Grace is sure riding this story....
anyway, beware of socio/psychopathy. It exists in the USA more than one would suspect. It plays it's way in many ways. You don't have to be a 'killer' to be a sociopath. But my studies are showing that death is not out of the question for these types. Look out!

I agree with you about Cindy, she seems to run the family, Lee knows better but goes along with the charade. She comes across as an evil, enabling liar.
I think "nurse" Cindy is the source of the daughter's pathology. Apparently the men in the family are to weak and cowardly to stand up to queen Cindy's lies. She turns my stomach.

Very interesting article. I dated a sociopath and the description rings true for him, although it was difficult to understand at the time. He was an egomaniac and extremely manipulative to everyone around him. He had no truly close friends. He became increasingly verbally abusive and accusatory over time. This was all a very slow process in order to allow me time to adapt to his behavior and internalize his actions (blame myself). This is what sociopaths do to their victims. Yes, sociopaths will go into a rage by focusing on minute details! It is all part of the "crazymaking" for those around them.
In the end, I sought counseling and left him, got a restraining order, and hid myself. He was furious and tried to stalk me for months - filling my voice mail and email boxes until I cut those off. The few messages I listened to would go back and forth between apologizing and blaming me for making him behave the way he did - often several times in the same message! I worry sometimes that other women are now falling prey to this man. There can't be enough awareness around this behavior. It was a long healing process for me. Thanks for posting this article.

Dr. Julian:
How do you think jail/confinement is impactign Casey? Is it possible for sociopaths to "crack" and admit something like killing their daughter and driving around with her body in the trunk? Or will she stick to her innocence til the day she dies?
122 - Marcia Neil
Although I am not a certificated doctor, with all due respect sociopaths/psychopaths are already cracked, beginning with intense and demanding personal loyalty queries that can be classified as "hazing".

Hi Egypt,
Thanks for stopping by. In terms of whether or not Casey will share more info about Caylee, I dont know. Anything that she does will only be to benefit herself and no-one else. To save herself in some way she might provide more info or to stay in the spotlight.
Jail and confinement will be challenging for Casey. Remember she likes to party and have fun. Being incarcerated is difficult and she may become deprssed but the depression is related to herself not the loss of her daughter.
Casey's world revolves around Casey and no-one else.

We have to deal with this nut bag and her fame desperate parents every flipping night on the news. I said the other day when Mamma Anthony went to court to leave the area to "check out leads in California" it was about a TV show and oh look they are on Larry King " We aren't going to stop looking for Caylee" Well of course not since it is an excuse to get in front of the media every day still trying to pawn that book and movie deal. To bad the entertainment lawyer ditched them when they refused to stop calling a press conference every day.
The whole family needs to be locked up!
Have you seen the "jailhouse tapes" of her family? It is more like an attempt at a audition for a real bad spy movie or soap opera.
