Eat Your Words: A Linguistic and Behavioural Profile of the Psychopathic Offender (Alumni Weekend 2007 Presentation 4/6)

Summary: Why do homicidal psychopaths talk about food when they confess their crimes? Psychopaths are cold and callous individuals who often mimic appropriate emotional behaviour to ease interactions with others. Join UBC Okanagan’s Dr. Woodworth for this insightful lecture which considers both the criminal behaviour of psychopathic offenders as well as their own accounts of these incidents.
