Gain first hand knowledge about the tools used by mental health professionals to assess psychopathy
Why take this course?
Our society appears fascinated with all things criminal. This is evidenced by the number of true crime podcasts and murder mystery shows, which are loved by thousands around the world. This has lead to the use of several "pop culture diagnoses", including the misclassification of offenders as "psychopaths" and "sociopaths".
In this course, you will gain an in-depth understanding of the differences in personality psychopathology that leads to criminal behavior and societal harm. Topics to be covered include:
- History of psychopathy and sociopathy
- Differences between the constructs of psychopathy and sociopathy
- Clinical/forensic use of the terms psychopathy and sociopathy (including assessment tools used by mental health professionals)
- Diagnosis in DSM-V, including antisocial personality disorder

The course was really concise. I hope that rationale is given after every question from the quiz. Nevertheless, I did learn loads.

I liked the course but thought it could have been longer. I wish they would have discussed persons diagnosed with psychopathy in more depth so that there was a better understanding of the material

Fabulous, professional, meaty course. High quality and high value. Would love to see Ms. Arias's take on the other dark triad traits!

From a profane to the topic (and more managerial) perspective, trying to understanding what those psychopathologies are, the course focuses (the quizzes in particular) too much on narrow technical details and not enough on understanding concretely how to recognize and handle those difficult personalities.

love this! I thought it was well done and thorough. I was writing titles and authors to do a deep dive later on these subjects. I love that it was succinct and concise or in other words it was short and sweet! Highly recommended for the psych nerds out there.

Great course, I understood much better these concepts and learned much more about this topic. It never gets boring and it explains everything very well. I like that it gives you info about the origin of the concepts, not only what they but where they come from. I loved it!

This course is fantastic, I love how the videos are shorted than others but are packed with information. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in psychology or criminology.

As a high school student, I found this course quite interesting and informative. It covered a few topics that I hadn't found when researching on my own. At some point, this course felt a little short, as in I would've enjoyed learning more details about this subject. Other than that, for someone with as little experience in the abnormal psychology field as myself, it's a great course.

It was okay. More details should have been included. Adding an overview of a few case studies would enhance the quality of the course a lot.

Lectures are loaded with too much information. Would appreciate a summary at the end of each lecture, specifically the ones pertaining to the history
