Hey Dr. Rosenthal, I'm on track for a PhD in clinical psych, currently working at a university doing research on psychopathic prison inmates. Given your statements about psychopathy, I suggest checking out some of the recent work by Joseph Newman and Michael Koenigs. I think your knowledge of psychopathic symptoms is spot on, but you're making assumptions about etiology that imply emotional rather than cognitive deficits (the debate rages on). I only bring it up because I really think the theory behind this disorder needs to be made more public, rather than allowing mass media to influence our understanding of it.
Thanks for the awesome IAMA. Also, can I call you Dr. BROsenthal from now on? thanks!
