Criminal Minds: Understanding criminal behaviour

Australia · CPD courses & CPD points · Health Professionals

Gain essential insight into the psychological underpinnings of criminal behaviour with Dr. Giada del Fabbro, a seasoned clinical and forensic psychologist. This introductory-level CPD course offers a comprehensive overview of the causes, manifestations, and treatment considerations related to criminal behaviour, drawing from current research, case-based insights, and forensic practice.

This talk explores key psychological, neurobiological, and environmental factors that contribute to criminality, including the impact of early trauma, socialisation failures, and neurological differences observed through neuroimaging. Dr. del Fabbro also examines diagnostic distinctions between Antisocial Personality Disorder and Psychopathy, and how these differences affect prognosis, risk, and therapeutic direction.

Ideal for psychologists working in forensic, clinical, or community mental health settings, this training offers a grounded, evidence-informed approach to understanding risk, intervention, and prevention in the context of criminal behaviour
