Labeling a child a psychopath can be incredibly harmful, but there might be ways to treat these unsettling personality traits early. Maia Szalavitz, author and contributing opinion writer for the The New York Times, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss children who are behaving in “callous, unemotional” ways and how early interventions are proving helpful, how genetics and trauma factor into a diagnosis, and why traditional methods of punishment don’t work. Her article “What If We Could Treat Psychopathy in Childhood?” was published in Scientific American.
