Kent Kiehl: Peering Inside the Psychopath's Mind (Profile‪)‬

Dr. Kent Kiehl is at the forefront of the emerging neuroscience research on psychopathy, and is considered one of its leading experts. Mentored by the creator of the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R), he is an associate professor of psychology at the University of New Mexico, and Director of the Mobile Imaging Core and Clinical Cognitive Neuroscience at the non-profit Mind Research Network in Albuquerque. His primary focus is on groundbreaking research on the brains of incarcerated psychopaths. Kiehl also consults for attorneys and judges and testifies in the courtroom, hoping to educate the fact-finders about the impact of neurological factors on culpability. Progress has been made, he believes, but his field aims toward an even greater impact on the future treatment of psychopathy. Kiehl will likely play a key role. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
