Episode 26 - Dr. Chris Barry

This week I spoke to Dr. Chris Barry of Washington State University, a clinical psychologist who specialises in the study of psychopaths.

Chris has researched psychopathy for many years and in this episode explains exactly what psychopathy is and he also explains the various personality traits that psychopaths exhibit.

Seeing as this is a sports podcast, Chris links psychopathy to sport and discusses the traits of psychopathy that can actually be beneficial to elite athletic performance.

It was really interesting hearing Chris talk about a range of ways that elite sport and psychopathy are linked, and I definitely think it is worth a listen.
