Speaking of Psychology · Encore: Why psychopathy is more common than you think, with Abigail Marsh, PhD · 12 Aug 2026 podcast

So psychopathy is not an official diagnosis in the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, right? voice-verified

Exactly. voice-verified

This is one of the many confusing things about it. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

And you've done quite a bit of work with children who manifest these traits and I know that it's highly, highly difficult for parents who have such children. voice-verified

Uh how do you help them deal with this? voice-verified

Are there treatments for the children that maybe can nip this behavior in the butt? voice-verified

And then how do you work with the parents? voice-verified

So is it possible then to teach a child that may be even harder with adults, but to teach a child who has these traits to feel fear, to understand fear and to feel remorse, which they apparently don't. voice-verified

Let's talk for a minute about causes 'cause I know you've done some research, including brain imaging, that found some interesting differences in in the brains of of children who are manifesting this disorder. voice-verified

And and then the other question is, um, are these things genetic? voice-verified

Do we know? voice-verified

That raises another question in my mind, which is uh I think that some people confuse psychopathy and sociopathy. voice-verified

And I'm just wondering if you could explain how they're different and how they're similar. voice-verified

In my intro I mentioned some notorious people who are often thought of as psychopaths and they were all men. voice-verified

And I just want to know, do we know whether psychopathy is more prevalent among men or women, or does it just manifest differently depending on your sex? voice-verified

Now, if in your a normal life you encounter people who you think have some of these traits, I mean I asked in the intro, you know, what can you do? voice-verified

I mean, other than just trying to avoid people who are like this, is there anything that you can do to protect yourself from these kinds of people? voice-verified

Let's switch gears and talk about the happier side of your research, which is about empathy, compassion, and those extreme altruists like the people who donate kidneys to strangers. voice-verified

What's the connection between what seems on its face to be the opposite extreme of human behavior? voice-verified
