DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \n\nPsychopathy is an adult diagnosis comprised of b
 oth callous-unemotional personality traits (lack of empathy and guilt) and
  overt antisocial behaviour. One can also find children who exhibit both c
 onduct problems and callous-unemotional traits and are at an increased ris
 k for developing psychopathy. \n\nResearch from our lab and others has doc
 umented that callous-unemotional traits are heritable\, yet can change acr
 oss development. Conduct problems in the presence of callous-unemotional t
 raits show high heritability\, whereas conduct problems in the absence of 
 such traits do not. Further evidence for callous-unemotional traits deline
 ating distinct sub-groups of children with conduct problems comes from rec
 ent neuroimaging work\, which I will discuss at the latter part of the tal
 k.   \n\nBio: \n\nEssi Viding did her PhD at the Institute of Psychiatry\,
  London. She is currently Professor of Developmental Psychopathology at th
 e Division of Psychology and Language Sciences\, University College London
  and also a Research Associate at the Institute of Psychiatry: MRC Social\
 , Genetic\, and Developmental Psychiatry Centre. Her research combines dif
 ferent methodologies in an effort to chart different developmental pathway
 s to persistent antisocial behaviour. \n\n\n\n
