Viewing someone who is suffering as morally bad reduces compassion and desire to help. Perhaps why so few public health resources are devoted to helping those with disorders of aggression (psychopathy, ASPD, CD), who DO need treatment. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37150155/ Hongbo Yu

The internet is full of misinformation about psychopathy. No, you can't tell if someone is psychopathic by the length of their fingers or whether they like chocolate. And psychopathy is *not* the same thing as ASPD. Want a real psychopathy test? Go to: psychopathyis.org/screening/

I have just published the maybe most important or most relevant paper of my scientific work until today 🥳🤓🧠 👉How the risk principle reduces recidivism in sexual offenders⚠️ Thank you so much "Law and Human Behavior" Law and Human Behavior APA Journals American Psychological Association researchgate.net/publication/38…

Bestuurslid kasia uzieblo schreef een blog over #StevenVanDerVelde, een zaak die iedereen blijft beroeren maar helaas enkel lijkt te leiden tot ongenuanceerde berichtgeving. In de blog roept ze op tot een diepgaandere discussie & uitgebreider beleid mbt resocialisatie 👇

🚨Exciting news! Our meta-analysis on executive functions in psychopathy is finally published in Psychol. Med. (#OpenAccess). Link: doi.org/10.1017/S00332… Key finding: Only SMALL (if any) EF deficits in psychopathy – challenging some prevalent assumptions. More findings 👇

This story is tragic and tragically common. All reputable neuroscientists agree that no psychological disorder can be diagnosed from a brain scan currently--not #ADHD, not #ASD, not anything, regardless of what the unscrupulous Amen Clinics and others tell desperate parents.
