Full event details

Hollywood have used psychopathic villains in movies since the 1930s, realising they can be scary than monster-movies. This talk looks at the diagnostic criteria of what constitutes 'Psychopathy' and how movies have portrayed psychopaths - and we assess if those portrayals are clinically & forensically accurate. We also reveal the Top 10 most accurate Movie Psychopaths, and you'll be surprised who makes the list . . . and why.
