The Psychology of Psychopaths

The Psychology of Psychopaths realiza-se a 18 de novembro de 2026, Sue Townsend Theatre, em Leicester.

Explore the biological, cognitive and social forces that shape psychopathy and the traits that define the condition. Followed by Q&A. Do psychopaths live amongst us? “Psychopath” is a term often thrown around in popular culture, but how many of us truly understand what it means? Psychopathy is a complex and often misunderstood condition that has fascinated forensic psychologists, criminologists, and the public for decades. In this talk, we’ll examine the defining traits and behaviours of psychopathy. Diving into genetic roots, emotional detachment and socio-environmental influences, Chartered Forensic Psychologist Dee Anand will unravel the science behind the condition. We’ll also tackle the big questions: Are psychopaths born or made? And can a psychopath ever be cured? Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7:30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!
