Dark Psychology

In the real world, brain tumors are rare occurrences.

Perhaps even rarer still, are brain tumors that manipulate a person's behavior in the way that Charles Whitman's tumor did. And yet, it isn't difficult to imagine that a mass shooter could be driven to kill because someone manipulated him into believing that he had to do it. The news media often talk in terms of "radicalization" of Muslim youth by terror groups.

What they really mean to say is, in short, brainwash. Manipulation in the real world comes in many shapes and sizes, but it usually amounts to the same thing: the deliberate, and subversive control of an unsuspecting individual.

Dark psychology draws parallels to brainwash, hypnosis, and all forms of control portrayed in popular media. But it is at times difficult to comb through what is true and what is hyperbole. Brainwash is a less mad scientist with electrodes strapped to someone's brain, and more akin to manipulating somebodies emotions. There is no device (that we know of) that could brainwash someone they way it is done in the movies. Instead, subversive manipulation comes in the form of practiced psychological attacks.

These attacks are almost always deeply rooted in human language and or emotion. A knowledgeable attacker is able to pry open the darkest recesses of their victim's psyche, find the weak spots, and sow seeds of discord into their minds. They know all the right things to say that will make their victims tick, move, and shake. It is no wonder then that many dark psychology manipulators use their attacks against close friends and family.

The better they someone, the better they make for a target.

At first glance, dark psychology sounds like a souped-up movie genre. Upon further consideration, it can be said that dark psychology stands for many different things. Indeed, it has been used to describe phenomena other than manipulative tactics. There is the belief that there exists a proverbial "dark side" to the human psyche that has existed there since the birth of time. Its essence of which is the same behind all forms of aggression, war, and subjugation in human history.

Psychology plays an important role in everyday life, including how we process information, become influenced, or influence others and how we make decisions. Dark psychology is a study of a specific human condition that involves predator and prey behavior, the ability of humans to manipulate and victimize another living being, and how likely certain types of people are more susceptible to acting on these impulses than others.
