This live professional training program on What is Psychopathy is presented by Chris Patrick, PhD in partnership with PsychopathyIs.

Psychopathy is a topic that has long been fascinating to the public, scientists, and clinical practitioners. However, it has also been subject to considerable confusion and scholarly debate over the years.

This presentation will describe alternative conceptions of psychopathy that have been proposed historically and review major instruments currently in use for the assessment of psychopathic features/traits in clinical and non-clinical samples. An integrative theoretical framework, the triarchic model, will be presented as a basis for reconciling differing historic conceptions and assessment approaches.

The program will conclude with a discussion of the utility of the triarchic model for addressing issues such as psychopathy subtypes, successful versus unsuccessful psychopathy, and causal factors contributing to different behavioral expressions of psychopathy.

No psychological test will be administered. The material should be understandable to a professional non-specialist audience
