Overview

Why do some people develop psychopathy?

Join Professor Essi Viding as she examines a question that has long puzzled scientists and captured public imagination.

Discover the science behind psychopathy, including the ground-breaking research that shows why some individuals are genetically vulnerable to developing this developmental disorder, and explore whether there is a way it can be prevented.
