Neuroscientist Kent A. Kiehl, Ph.D., has used an mobile MRI scanner to peer into the brains of about 3,000 violent offenders, including 500 psychopaths.
Keihl recently came out with a new book, The Psychopath Whisperer The science of those without conscience. In an interview on Wired.com, he answers questions like:
- What’s the difference between psychopathy and psychosis?
- Why do you see psychopathy as a mental disorder, not just an extreme personality type?
- What is different about psychopathic brains?
