Event Navigation
Think & Drink’s best selling talk is back on September 3, with more questions, mysteries, and facts!
From Charles Manson to Jeffrey Dahmer to Ted Kaczynski–we’re obsessed with psychopaths. However, the representation of psychopaths in mainstream media, be it Dexter or Hannibal Lecter, is often full of stereotypes and not particularly concerned with truth or facts.
In this presentation, we will explore common myths and misconceptions about psychopaths, for instance, that they are rare, violent, and predominantly male.
We will also discuss how to identify and what to do about the psychopaths in our own lives (spoiler: There is usually at least one, the only question is whether you are aware of this or not).
About the speaker: Pascal Wallisch serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU, where he studies psychopaths. He has written extensively about the subject, and his research has been featured in major publications.
