It's rather more like Rand Paul's self-created opthomology body.

If you wish you can turn on the TV and listen to all manner of quackery promoted via Dr Oz, too. And he's faculty at Columbia Medical School.

The issue at hand i is NO ACCREDITING AMERICAN PROFESSIONAL PSYCHOLOGICAL ORGANIZATION recognizes psychopathy as a reality.

It's a term that repeatedly enters criminal justice discourse through the voices of persons who wish to debase criminals with a pseudo-scientific label in addition to 'criminal'.

Which it seems is what law enforcement types spends a lot of time on when they aren't defending killing unarmed black men.
