A wave of new research is challenging long-standing assumptions about psychopathy, revealing that persistent claims of brain abnormalities in people diagnosed as psychopaths may be rooted less in science and more in “spin” — both in academic publications and popular media. This ongoing disconnect matters not just for the integrity of psychological research but also for legal, forensic, and public perceptions, which have major implications for Thai society in how we understand and treat those labeled as psychopaths.
