7. Psychopathy Checklist – Revised (PCL-R):
Basic course.
The Hare Psychopathy Checklist – Revised (PCL-R)
is widely accepted as the most reliable and
valid method for assessing psychopathy and is
rapidly being adopted worldwide for basic and
applied research, including neuroimaging, and as
a key instrument in forensic psychology and
psychiatry.
The PCL-R and the more recent screening
version, the PCL:SV, are strong predictors of
recidivism, violence and the difficulty in
responding to therapeutic intervention.
Both the PCL-R and PCL:SV are routinely used to
assess risk in a variety of forensic
populations, to aid sentencing decisions,
treatment suitability and institutional
placements.
Professionals who work clinically with
offenders are invited to attend the 3-day
course. Researchers are also welcome to attend.
The PCL-R Basic course will be co-facilitated
by Professor Robert Hare (the author of the
PCL-R). The intensive PCL-R Training Workshop
will:
• Provide an overview of theory and research on
psychopathy, its measurement and implications.
• Discuss the uses and potential misuses of the
PCL-R and provide participants with training and
practice in the administration, scoring, and
interpretation of the PCL-R.
Participants who successfully complete the
3-day basic workshop are eligible to register
for the PCL-R Post-Workshop Program organised by
Darkstone Research Group Ltd.
A 3-day reliability workshop will follow this
basis course – please see related flyer for
details.
