Letter from the President

2015 was a busy year, and it went by too quickly! But it has been rewarding to look back and see how much we accomplished. Many of our efforts were directed at providing more accurate information about psychopathy to people who need that information. We believe valid and reliable information about psychopathy can help people who are already in relationships with psychopathic people and can help everyone to cope more effectively with such individuals if they come into our lives. We believe most professionals do not understand enough about psychopathy. Sometimes people in my own field, clinical psychologists, are trained only to understand Antisocial Personality Disorder and are not informed about the important differences between psychopathic individuals with Antisocial Personality Disorder and nonpsychopathic individuals with Antisocial Personality Disorder.

Mission and Accomplishments

Aftermath Mission

The Aftermath: Surviving Psychopathy Foundation is dedicated to educating the public regarding the nature of psychopathy and its cost to individuals and society.

We seek to support the families and victims of those with psychopathy.

We support research that aims to: prevent or minimize the development of psychopathic traits, reduce the impact of psychopathic traits, and understand and treat the aftermath of psychopathy. Our ultimate goal is to reduce the negative impact of psychopathy on the families and victims of psychopathic individuals.

Research Report

Described as a set of personality traits that are socially aversive, the Dark Triad – psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism – underlies a series of detrimental behaviors, including manipulation, self-centeredness, and deception. Even at subclinical levels, these dark personalities are associated with considerable social, emotional, financial, and even physical harm.
