    About this ebook

    Dark psychology studies the parts of ourselves that none of us want to recognize. Within this field, our innermost demons are delved into, and a light is shone on the places that we would rather not see but need to see. Dark psychology accepts and embraces the darker side of the human experience. In this way it is doing the same as any area of anthropocentric study does, the only difference lying in dark psychology's specialty of this dark reality within the human animal. Dark psychology is not meant to be a pageant of villains, however. Specialists within this field do their work in order to better understand why and how malevolent people work toward their ends, not out of some attempt to gain fame for themselves and or to idolize the more monstrous among us. It is also important to keep in mind that each and every one of us has a dark or

      Introduction

      Congratulations on and thank you for downloading Dark Psychology. Here we will explore the more sordid and dark aspects of the human psyche, as well as some methods of applying our knowledge for use in our everyday lives. Here the following areas will be delved into the principles of dark psychology, dark personality traits, studies of dark psychology, mind reading, cognitive psychology, modes of persuasion, controlling emotions, and social engineering and leadership.

Any health benefits or detriments associated with reading this book are merely circumstantial and coincidental. The writer does not condone using any information expressed here to better one’s health.

      Dark psychology accepts and embraces the darker side of the human experience. In this way it is doing the same as any area of anthropocentric study does, the only difference lying in dark psychology’s specialty of this dark reality within the human animal. Dark psychology is not meant to be a pageant of villains, however. Specialists within this field do their work in order to better understand why and how malevolent people work toward their ends, not out of some attempt to gain fame for themselves and or to idolize the more monstrous among us. It is also important to keep in mind that each and every one of us has a dark or evil side of our own psychology. While there are some other conduits by which we can reach the realization of this side’s contents, it is dark psychology that provides the clearest route for us in our way toward our enlightenment concerning how dark we truly are and why.

      As you can tell, we have a lot of ground to cover within this book, so we should now dive on into our first subject regarding dark psychology: its principles.

      Chapter one: The principles of dark psychology

      Dark psychology could best be described as a study of the human condition in which it becomes normative for people to pray upon others out of criminal and or deviant desires. Often these desires lack specific purpose and are based primarily on basic instinctual desires. Each human has the potential and capacity to victimize other humans, as well as other living creatures, but most of us keep these desires suppressed in order to function successfully in society. Those of us who do not sublimate these dark tendencies are typically representative of the dark triad: psychopathy, sociopathy, and Machiavellianism, or other mental disorders/psychological disturbances. In this way, dark psychology focuses primarily on the underpinnings (i.e. the thoughts, processing systems, feelings, and behaviors) that are found below the more predatory aspects of our nature, the same ones that go most vigorously against the grain of modern thought concerning human behavior. In this field, we tend to assume that these more abusive, criminal, and deviant behaviors are purposive most of the time, though there are instances in which they seem to have no teleological underpinnings.

      Dark psychology accepts and embraces the darker side of the human experience. In this way it is doing the same as any area of anthropocentric study does, the only difference lying in dark psychology’s specialty of this dark reality within the human animal. Dark psychology is not meant to be a pageant of villains, however. Specialists within this field do their work in order to better understand why and how malevolent people work toward their ends, not out of some attempt to gain fame for themselves and or to idolize the more monstrous among us. It is also important to keep in mind that each and every one of us has a dark or evil side of our own psychology. While there are some other conduits by which we can reach the realization of this side’s contents, it is dark psychology that provides the clearest route for us in our way toward our enlightenment concerning how dark we truly are and why.

      Wrongdoing, as Socrates asserts, is doing that harms others. Not only does this harm others, but Socrates also thought that it harms our own souls, as many modern people would agree. Dark psychologists allow that some of us do wrong onto others for no greater purposes. Their ends never justify their means because there are simply no ends to be found. This capability (and perhaps even proclivity) for harm within cause or purposiveness can be found within all of us. The field of dark psychology assumes justifiably that these irrational desires to harm within us are incredibly complex and harm to understand. 

      Whether wrongdoing is purposive or even intentional, and whether it is done out of want of money, retaliation, or power, the most destructive force behind wrongdoing is aggression. Aggression is likely the single biggest adversary of prosocial relations, and it should not be confused with assertiveness. Aggression is any verbal and or physical behavior that is meant to harm or destroy. This aim is what differentiates it from other classes of behaviors that bring harm or destruction with no aims.

      Biologically, there are certain genetic markers that are more indicative of aggression than others. Neurologically, it is the amygdala that controls most aggressive behavioral patterns. For this reason, people with enlarged and deformed amygdala typically commit violent acts at higher rates. As far as hormones are concerned, it is usually those people (primarily young men) with higher levels of testosterone and lower levels of serotonin who tend to be the most
