In the Media: Big Brains Podcast

I recently sat down with Paul Rand from the Big Brains Podcast to talk about the legal system’s problematic use of psychopathy assessments (such as the PCL-R).

We discussed how the psychopathy diagnosis, despite its scientifically dubious status, continues to shape sentencing, parole, and even death penalty decisions – often in ways that raise serious questions about fairness and justice. We also explored deeper questions behind Psychopathic Personality Disorder itself, including why the science that once promised so much has ultimately failed to deliver.

Enjoy! 🎧
