Psychology, Politics, History and Personality Disorders

Dr. Helen, a psychologist, in a fascinating interview with the author of "Evil Genes", Barbara Oakley, who is not a psychologist but who had a sister with personality disorder. She's an original thinker. Dr. Helen has a special professional interest in violent children, so this topic is right up her alley.

Ignore the provocative title to the video and listen to the author as she discusses how she came to be interested in the influence of borderline personality disorders on families and in history. She is also interested in the differences between the conclusions of psychologists and neurobiologists. Information on liberal influences in the American Psychological Association is in the last part of the interview.

Interesting side issue: why very intelligent people often resist criticism.
