On the one hand, I'm thrilled that there's a whole issue on this topic. On the other hand, I wonder when I'm going to have time to read all of these! It's the price of one's area of research becoming popular.

I believe it was Oscar Wilde who said, "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about." I am pleased to see this much conceptual attention being turned to the constant social plague of psychopathy. It's a nice microcosm of the disease v moral weakness v problems in living debates about psychiatric conditions.
Perhaps one silver lining about being drowned in readings is that, while the field is popular, there's a kind of job security in it. Not a bad thing these days.
