Thirty years of forensic research on psychopathic traits. What has it actually taught us about assessment, prediction, and treatment?

Dr. Kent Kiehl will examine the contemporary assessment of psychopathic traits and recent evidence regarding their predictive value in forensic practice. He will also explore:

• The strengths and limitations of neuroimaging research
• How emerging findings could inform treatment
• Ongoing controversies and academic debates in the field

Dr. Kiehl is Professor of Psychology, Neuroscience, and Law at the University of New Mexico and Executive Science Officer of the Mind Research Network. His research focuses on clinical neuroscience and forensic populations, including the use of mobile MRI technology to study brain structure and function.

Three Days Left: Register Early and Make the Connections that Matter
