Season 1 Episode 2

Who Are These AR$EHOLE$?

Overview

In today’s episode we are taking a good look at who our arseholes are.

After having a quick look at the statistics, the history of the terms psychopath and sociopath and going through a behavioural checklist, we’ll tackle the question ‘Is an arsehole a person or a behaviour?

What does a spectrum of pathological behaviours look like? 

We’ll also play with some charts to help us align in how we identify who gets the arsehole tag and who doesn't, and we’ll finish up with how to spot an arsehole and what psychologists recommend we do.
