What are psychopaths and what do they actually do?
Is Hannibal Lecter really the prototype of a psychopath? Do all psychopaths have the need to kill other people? How does criminal psychology determine whether a person is psychopathic? How does a psychopathic personality develop? How do some psychopathic serial killers manage to lead inconspicuous lives for decades as loving family men and friendly neighbors? Why don't all psychopaths become criminals? How much of "evil" is there in "normal" people?
This lecture sheds light on the emotional and mental worlds of psychopathic people - both those who have made headlines with horrifying crimes and those who get through life without committing criminal acts and are among us.
Lydia Benecke explores these and other questions in her lecture. An exciting journey into the world of criminal psychology.
