The Psychopath Whisperer: The Science of Those Without Conscience by Kent Kiehl is a journey into the science and behavior of psychopaths, written by the leading scientist in the field of criminal psychopathy. What do you do if you discover your roommate, or boss, or the person you are dating has traits that define a psy­chopath? And what does having a diminished limbic region of the brain mean for how the legal system approaches crimes committed by psychopaths? Why do psychopaths behave the way they do? Is it the result of their environment or is there a genetic compo­nent to their lack of conscience?
