Borderlines are the patients psychologists fear most. As many as 75% hurt themselves, and approximately 10% commit suicide - an extraordinarily high suicide rate (by comparison, the suicide rate for mood disorders is about 6%). Borderline patients seem to have no internal governor; they are capable of deep love and profound rage almost simultaneously. They are powerfully connected to the people close to them and terrified by the possibility of losing them - yet attack those people so unexpectedly that they often ensure the very abandonment they fear.

Like Hamas itself - a group classified as a terrorist organization by the U.S. and E.U., but which provides much-needed social and welfare services to Palestinians - its exiled leader...
Many criminals, Hare explains, suffer from some form of antisocial personality disorder, a condition that causes them to behave impulsively and aggressively and generally commit violent crimes. Within that group, a subset also exhibits psychopathy, a coldness and lack of empathy for the people they hurt. They are the ones most likely to commit repeat violent crimes. The smallest group of all is the people who suffer from psychopathy alone - indifference to others, without the violence. These, says Galietta, are the "white-collar psychopaths." And that group is an incubator of Madoffs...
