Tiger Woods is a narcissist and sociopath, Psychotherapist Dr. Gilda Carle, PhD, tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.

“I believe, in my professional opinion, that Tiger Woods is a sociopath, and sociopaths don't feel remorse or consequences.” Dr. Carle said after watching Tiger’s 13 minute apology.
The news conference was stoic and uncharacteristic of the Tiger we all know and she says “obviously rehearsed.”

The therapist says “his tone of voice showed that he was embarrassed and ashamed, because he got caught, not because he was remorseful.. . He went on and on stumbling, which shows that he was uncomfortable and he was not in his usual ‘Tiger Woods invincible power.’ He was totally out of character. He is now a fallen star and he doesn't know how to fit that role. He was uncomfortable in this new role as ‘somebody who was very sorry,’ in this new role as a ‘vulnerable and flawed character,’ and Sociopaths will go to any length to appear to be something they are not. “

Dr. Carle watched Tiger’s apology Friday morning and said it was very telling that Tiger’s wife, Elin, was not by his side. However, she goes on to say “He brought out Mommy instead and he hugged her.” That she says was a calculated move. The message: “a mother’s love is unconditional, because you can have many wives and many women, but you can only have one mother, so the message is “Mommy still loves me, so should my public.”

This behavior she says is “a classic sign of a sociopath.” Dr. Carle does not treat Tiger and she points out that this is her professional opinion based on his behavior. On the fact that he never used the word "sex" she says: “Well that's an avoidance technique. He was trying to downplay his responsibility here. By not mentioning what he needs to mention, he was looking to downplay and avoid the real issue. One go around of therapy does not a responsible person make. It's a Sociopath's viewpoint, "I can do what I want, without having to suffer any consequences."

“He said he was sorry, but what he is really sorry about is that he lost the endorsements and the ability to play golf, and most importantly the image of being ‘Mr. Perfect.’ I also think he's a Narcissist, because it's all about him, it's always all about him.”
Dr. Gilda Carle is a Therapist and Relationship Expert who is based in New York.

I too believe he is sorry for getting caught but not for his actions, he'll do it again and will get caught again. Elin should get a divorce Tiger won't change, it's in his blood.

I wonder how many people who are criticizing Tiger for all of his affairs have had affairs themselves. I look at this whole situation is between Tiger and Elin and the rest of the world should just BUTT OUT!!!

Rather she is licensed or not I feel she characterized Tiger to a tee. She knows more than I do at least she has a web site and knows more about relationships then some of us.

No ethical doctor takes 13 minutes and then diagnoses someone. She comes across as if SHE was cheated on and now she generalizes all cheaters to be what she may have experienced with a man. She is not credible.

Who cares? Check out her website- she's not a licensed therapist able to diagnose sociopathy. She's a SELF-proclaimed "relationship expert"-what a joke. Her PhD is in Educational Leadership- not psych. Her "diagnosis" is entirely irrelevant.

He's a PIG and I wouldn't doubt it one bit!

He cheated, that does not make it right for her or others on here to go call him a sociopath. If she truly was a relationship therapist she'd not be going public knowing she only adds to the couple's distress. What therapist does that?

Tiger is a golf pro not a saint. The only way to please anybody is to please yourself first and that is what he did. I don't approve but the only people he is beholding to is Elin and his kids.I feel sorry for his family but no one's perfect.
