The Psychopath Whisperer audiobook free
I have seen another author on personality disorders (including psychopaths) recommend the same thing the “psychopath whisperers” in this book did with juvenile offenders, in ‘Emotional Vampires’ (E Bernstein) ignoring bad behavior, not punishing, and rewarding good is recommended, just as most people probably already do with small children. This is very, very hard of course because they will try to provoke you into a fight, which is so exciting for them.
The only thing that worries me about this is the state criminal justice system really exists to prevent feuding, the cycle of revenge that often proliferates and disrupts society in general in remote (say) regions where an impartial justice system is weak or non-existent . If offenders, say murderers, are not punished and the focus is solely on rehabilitation the friends and relatives of those they have murdered will probably simply try to kill them when they get out of prison. They will instinctively seek revenge because there has been no justice in their eyes, especially if they know they are only going to be rehabilitated not punished. Prison and state punishment actually protects criminals from the far worse fate of revenge by loved ones of their victims.
There may well be a way around this but it may be even harder to find than the excellent but challenging practices in this book that I find very useful in dealing with non-criminal psychopath behavior in daily life (don’t fight their evil, they’ll almost certainly win- reward their good). Perhaps a higher ratio of reward to punishment in law enforcement could be slowly phased in over decades so the vicious circle of generalized punishment, violence and dominance in society gradually decreases (but probably never completely disappears).

Audiobook The Psychopath Whisperer by Kent A. Kiehl
As a layperson with no research or psychological training this is a fascinating look at the intersection of brain imaging and psychopathic behavior.
Kiehl definitely has an engaging way of telling stories, and the way he starts out visiting psychopaths in a Canadian prison definitely draws you in. Like Kiehl, the reader can’t help yearning for the elusive why? Why or how are psychopath brains different that allows them to be so emotionally disconnected?
What seemed valuable to me in this book was threefold: an emphasis on research-based/supported tools for classifying psychopaths as adults and juveniles, an explanation of the niche world of MRI imaging instrumentation, and a carefulness in dealing with predictive imaging/analysis for youth so as to not label them into a self-fulfilling prophecy of psychopathy.
While the good old boy ex-football player socially astute tone of the narrative was engaging at first, near the end of the book it took on just a hint of self-aggrandizing when relating the various career paths (i.e. moving to New Mexico Mind Center) and police cases Kiehl is involved with. Near the end of the book I began to look for evidence that the generally successful career trend Kiehl portrays in the book replete with best friends in various cities that just happen to have the exact expertise he needs at each stage and with whom he eats steaks had any kind of real life obstacles and false starts that seem to be part of real life. It was just….too golden boy.
But his personal career aside, Kiehl does do a bang up job of explaining how nuero-science and psychological assessments interact with legal and moral issues when dealing with psychopathy. Fascinating.

Audio The Psychopath Whisperer narrated by Kevin Pariseau
Learning about the nature of a psychopath can be very interesting, if not addicting. It’s hard to believe that people can actually be like the ones described in this book, but it is true. And ‘The Psychopath Whisperer’ does a good job of describing these individuals in detail.
Others have criticized this book as autobiographical of its author, Dr. Kent Kiehl. I could see how someone would feel this way, because the book is a description of Dr. Kiehl’s journey in first becoming interested in psychopaths and then later on discovering the fundamental neurological abnormality seen in psychopaths. But it’s a good book and an interesting read…and Dr. Kiehl certainly isn’t self-promoting or arrogant in any way.
What is missing in this book (although in my mind doesn’t diminish it all that much) is that lack of a discussion on how Dr. Kiehl’s findings can be translated into treatment for psychopaths. While he does talk about the Mendota treatment center in Wisconsin, there isn’t much detail into this and there isn’t any other description of any treatments for psychopaths. Perhaps this is because there aren’t very many treatments, or perhaps Dr. Kiehl just chose not to talk about them. Either way, I found myself wondering if there is any way to treat these individuals based upon Dr. Kiehl’s findings, and unfortunately there wasn’t very much in the book about that.
I find any book on this topic fascinating. Another parallel book, ‘The Sociopath Next Door’ is excellent. I would put this book among the excellent examinations of this serious topic. If you read it, you can be assured of a fascinating book.

This book seems to serve 2 purposes 1) to boost the ego of the writer and 2) as a fascinating look at psychopaths. Don’t let point 1) put you off. Point 2) makes up the majority of the book and if you’re interested to learn more about how psychopaths work, it’s a very good book
It’s an excellent read, very insightful and scientific. At first I was discouraged by the title..why would you even mention the word whisperer when this book gives you the results of years of academic work and studies. In a fun and personal way though! Highly recommended
