Volunteers added three summaries of recent research on psychopathy, which included topics such as desirable interpersonal style, olfactory abilities, and treatment of individuals with psychopathy.

In 2019, researchers also provided a summary of the findings of a study they had conducted with the help of the Aftermath Foundation. This study addressed how individuals with psychopathy impact their intimate partners. 
                                                                                                      
Psychopathy experts Drs. Abigail Marsh and Adrian Raine answered questions posed by Aftermath volunteers. These questions included topics such as the role fear plays in the behavior of psychopathic individuals, differences in the brains of individuals with psychopathy and people who are altruistic, brain differences in psychopathic murderers versus non-psychopathic murderers, and brain structure, and connectivity differences in individuals with and without psychopathic traits.

Psychopathy expert Dr. Adelle Forth recorded a web conversation with Dr. David Kosson on the nature and impact of romantic relationships with individuals with psychopathic traits. The conversation took place using Zoom with several volunteers and members taking part. This is a great perk for members at the Silver Membership level to be able to participate and ask questions, while remaining anonymous.
