In this video I talk all about my PhD where it started and what I found looking at female primary psychopaths in the community services sector. When I talk about female psychopaths I talk from a position of ethical research not just because someone has upset me. The problem of women targeting women and men is a real problem in Australia and it's time for us to see the signs to protect ourselves.
