I believe (not 100% sure) that this person I know (I'll call her Jane) is a narcissist, if not even a sociopath. She has singled a female coworker out and gave her Summers Eve femmine wash because she thinks the bathroom stall smells after this coworker has used it. She also had a female guest at her house and when the poor guest came out of the bathroom Jane started spraying a deodorizer and cleaning the bathroom right in front of the girl. Who does that? Jane has referred to herself and amazing. Jane was also going to pull the woman aside and tell her she had vaginal odor. This poor guest was a date of her cousin so he pleaded with her not to say anything. Jane was also dating a person that relocated to live closer to her. The ex claims she "borrowed" money to the tune of $15,000 then once Jane was done with her ex she started calling them broken, damaged and crazy. The ex asked Jane for the money back and Jane said: "No, we were a couple and that's what couples do. I don't owe you anything!" Jane also had this person buy a $10,000 engagement ring. Jane has also called the ex unattractive, said no one wants them and why don't they go jump off a bridge. Jane has also personally said to me that she can have her ex wanting to commit suicide if she gave her a real mental and verbal lashing. I know the ex is in therapy now.

Based on what I state above, is it safe to say that Jane is at the very least lacking empathy?

Wait, what? You say this person is a psychologist?

I'd keep my distance from such a person. You never know when they might turn on you, like they did on the ex.

You really wonder what kind of parents people like this had, and how they raised such a person.

Yes, she is a psychologist. Based on what I state above, if you had to diagnose that behavior and treatment of people, what would you say she is? I think she lacks empathy, but I'm not a professional.

Well, clearly, she lacks empathy. So that opens the possibility to 1. narcissist, or 2. sociopath. I don't know how someone like that could have a stable therapy practice. I'm guessing she manipulates some clients into staying, but probably loses others.

What a train wreck! I diagnose: train wreck. lol

I am certainly not a professional, but I would think this person is a sociopath. If this person is guilty of non professional conduct, she should be reported to her professional society.

But, basically, give her a wide berth. She probably damages everyone she deals with.

She sounds toxic and To be avoided like the plague. I am not in a position to do armchair diagnosis but based on what you shared sounds like she has narcissistic traits.

This article might shed some light on the subject-

https://www.psychologytoday.com/arti...-have-problems

It is a long but informative, humorous article.
I think it holds a lot of truth.

Oh my goodness. This is a perfect example of a reason that many people would be hesitant to start therapy. She definitely lack empathy but it also seems like she has some kind of obsession with people's genitals. Geez. And you say she is a "practicing" psychologist?? She sounds mentally ill.
