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

Program Partner
PsychopathyIs
We are proud to partner with PsychopathyIs for this program. PsychopthyIs is an organization dedicated to alleviating the suffering caused by psychopathy. Worldwide, psychopathy affects over 1 in 100 people and is a major source of distress and impairment. But myths, stigmas, and lack of information about psychopathy can make it difficult for people affected by psychopathy and their families to find the support they need. They are dedicated to raising awareness of psychopathy, providing screening tools and other resources for affected individuals and families, and raising funds for research. We also aim to create educational tools for professionals and a national database of treatment providers to help share truths about what psychopathy is and isn't.
