FEMALE PSYCHOPATH: Real and Fictional Women of the 2000s

Who gets called a psychopath and who just got in the way of a good story?

In Part 3 of their decade-by-decade series, therapists Shannon and Cathy turn their clinical lens on the women the 2000s couldn't stop talking about. From Jodi Arias and Casey Anthony to the calculated con of Belle Gibson, and the chilling manipulation of Dalia Dippolito, this episode profiles the real cases that defined female psychopathy in a decade obsessed with dangerous women.

On the fiction side: Amy Dunne in Gone Girl, Asami Yamazaki in Audition, Mallory Knox in Natural Born Killers and Marie in High Tension, four of the most psychologically complex female villains ever put on screen.

And then there's Amanda Knox. Shannon and Cathy revisit one of the most media-distorted cases of the decade and what it reveals about how quickly the psychopath label gets applied to women who simply don't perform grief the right way.

Two psychologists. Ten women. One question: what does it actually take to be labeled a monster?

Until then... sleep safe. 😴
