Images of prisoners' brains show important differences between those who are diagnosed as psychopaths and those who aren't, according to a new study led by University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers. This study found reduced connectivity between an area of prefrontal cortex (PFC, red) and the amygdala (blue).

So, is there an early treatment? Or just recognition of the potential condition?
Interesting that you say that....I just read “Without Conscience” and it stated that ALL psychopaths had traumatic early childhoods-—had insecure and worse “attachment”.
Now, what WAS unusual was that not ALL children who have traumatic childhoods will become psychopaths.
It is learned behavior unless there is brain damage or other neurological abnormality in childhood.
TV can also be a model for behavior and some early childhoods are filled with very disturbing images that will form that child’s worldview of people and society.
Obama refuses to release his test results.
Thanks Silentgypsy.

What kind of test did he take?
I am fairly certain that Clinton, much like Obama, could easily be diagnosed with clinical narcissism at a minimum, clinical psychopathy at maximum, and a few other mental disorders as well.
And what of the Kenyan pissant in the White House?
Them boys ain’t wired right...
The one I was referring to is articulate, charming and intelligent. Able to *pass* as a caring human being and was a successful liar practicing the long con. Got away with child molestation and just general sloth and only a pretense of achievement until he was 44. Talked his way out of things or was given the benefit of the doubt or found a legal loophole. Even now, in prison with two consecutive 10-year terms, one Federal and one State, his father, who had already paid over $25k for his son’s defense and fines, is paying for a second appeal on the Federal sentence. It involves police behavior and warrants under the 5th amendment and effects us all, but it will likely get this guy out of a 10 year sentence.
So, IF this person is a provable psychopath (and I think the MRI evidence would need to be 100% all the time to be used effectively), are you willing to defend his right to life after he gets out, finishes his mandatory supervision and then manages to find another vulnerable little girl? By then, of course, he will actually likely be defended as someone with a *minority attraction disorder* and receive some more psychological counseling.
Who is responsible for the damage to the little girls? What is their right to life?
Education is key. Keep in mind that those who dominate the communication/story telling industries - government, religion, mass media, and education - are Leftists. The only place that conservatives are really getting their voices heard is on the Internet and through home schooling. Conservatives need to make it a goal to dominate those institutions once again.
Interesting. I wonder if she really didn’t want the job....
“Some people just need killin’.” Did you ever hear that this is a viable legal defense in TX?
In my experience, nature plays the stronger part. Nurture can either ameliorate, or exacerbate, what nature gave you.
I thought the comment was side-splittingly humorous, but I guess not.

Oh it was...but Obama does, IMHO, exhibit such marked abnormal psychology (always has) that I am shocked my country elected him to any sort of public office at all, let alone POTUS, and so I see comments like yours through a different lens.
the chuckle of gallows humor...
Sounds a bit like just one more reincarnation of phrenology.
