Today’s interview was fascinating. I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Ted Cunliffe and Dr. Jason Smith, two of the co-authors of the book, Understanding Female Offenders. These guys have spent their careers working with- and studying female offenders and share a wealth of information from their own research and elsewhere. These are just a few topics that we discuss in the interview:
- A broad overview and definition of psychopathy
- How psychopathy differs between men & women
- Considerations when assessing psychopathy in women
- Specific measures used in assessing psychopathy
Cool Things Mentioned
- The Mask of Sanity book
- PCL-R (Hare Psychopathy Checklist – Revised)
- TSI-2 (Trauma Symptom Inventory – Second Edition)
- PAI (Personality Assessment Inventory)
- Rorschach
