Description
Psychopathy: A Very Short Introduction by Essi Viding Psychopathy is a complex and often misunderstood condition that has captured the public imagination. Despite its prevalence, there is often a limited understanding of psychopathy, and several myths abound. This book provides an overview of how to identify individuals with or at risk of developing psychopathy, and how they differ from others who display antisocial behavior. Essi Viding explores the latest genetic, neuroscience, and psychology evidence to illuminate why psychopaths behave and develop the way they do. The book also considers whether it is possible to prevent or treat psychopathy. By examining the latest research, Viding sheds light on this fascinating and often stigmatized condition. This Very Short Introduction is part of the popular series from Oxford University Press, which offers a concise and accessible introduction to a wide range of subjects.
