Explaining Psychopathy - What you should know

 The Wikipedia is fairly useful on the growing understanding of psychopathy during the 20th Century.   Unfortunately, nothing I could find mentioned the more recent work of Dr. Kent Kiehl, who finally took the suppositions on the issue into actually providing the first neurological tool for measuring the condition.  

From the wiki History of Psychopathy

In 1967, the understanding of psychopathy was still evolving. The term "psychopath" was first introduced by Emil Kraepelin in 1888, highlighting antisocial behavior and moral insanity. The concept of psychopathy as a psychiatric term was established, and it was used to describe individuals exhibiting antisocial behavior. The early 20th century saw the term 'psychopathic inferiority' referred to mental disorders that might now be termed personality disorders. The term 'sociopathy' was popularized in 1929/30 by George E. Partridge, indicating a failure to adhere to societal norms in a way that could harm others. The term psychopathy gradually narrowed to the latter sense, based on interpretations of the work of a Scottish psychiatrist and checklists popularized by an American psychiatrist and later a Canadian psychologist. We strongly suggest, if this issue interests you, purchasing his book, which encapsulates his study of identified psychopaths, incarcerated due to the crimes for which they were in prison, with little likelihood of their being released.  

Dr. Kiehl's book, The Psychopathy Whisperer - The Science of Those Without Conscience, is available on Amazon and from other booksellers. 

We did not consider the potential popularity of a show on the subject of psychopathic individuals until recently, but during our last meeting determined this went well with the 2-Way Interface we will be providing for ongoing dialog on the subject.  

A book on the events in the life of our CEO, Melinda Pillsbury-Foster brought the subject to our attention, and a book on her own experiences will also soon be available as part of our promotional campaign for our launching platform.  These begin with a multi-decades history on the impact of one psychopathic individual, Richard Lee Barteaux, original name before adoption by Walter Dean and Betty Mae Barteaux, who named the infant, Richard Lee Barteaux

               Born Name: Joseph Aloysius MANGOLD (Latin spelling)

Mother gave the baby up for adoption immediately after birth.  Reports indicate she was a student at UCLA.
