Four Subtypes of Sadistic Personality

Sadistic personality can be characterised by someone deriving pleasure when imposing pain, distress and discomfort on others. It is also a way of asserting dominance over others. Included as a personality Disorder in DSM in 1987, it was later dropped since DSM 4, and is often seen as a co morbid with other personality disorders. In this video Darren Magee outlines the four subtypes of Sadistic Personality as suggested by Theodore Millan. The four being Spineless Sadism, Tyrannical Sadism, Enforcing Sadism and Explosive Sadism.
