I, Psychopath
from Fuzzy Logic Science Show Hosted by Fuzzy Logic Science Show
Today we delve into the mind of a psychopath. These characters fuel countless books and movies, underlying our fascination with them. Perhaps after listening to this, you'll recognise some psychopathic characters. Maybe even someone you work with. Or perhaps a voice you've heard on podcast. Few topics in science are so evocative. But... it's never that simple. Psychopathy turns out to be a slippery concept. Along the way, we bump into the Myers Briggs indicator often used workplace training. Is it real? Many of us have been lumped into one of four boxes this way. Next time you do, have this authoritive quote ready. Dr Martin Sellbom brings scientific rigour into a muddy topic. Dr Sellbom is Associate Professor, Director of the Clinical Psychology program at the ANU. And bringing a writer's perspective is fantasy author KJ Taylor, who's works many explore the darker side of human nature. Fuzzy Logic is grateful for the support of Australian Science Communicators.
