Blog Series: The Making of Psychopathy Unmasked

As we count down to release day on June 17, I’ll be sharing a series of short behind-the-scenes stories: what sparked my interest in psychopathy, how the book project took shape, which chapters almost didn’t make it, the unexpected hurdles along the way, and the generous help and inspiration I received from friends, colleagues, and students.

Think of it as a peek behind the curtain. Part research diary, part intellectual journey.

And on a more honest note: writing a book is hard, often agonizing work. Sharing the process with others feels, to me, like a necessary cathartic exercise. So please bear with me.
