Antisocial Personality Disorder

  • Chapter
Comprehensive Handbook of Psychopathology

Abstract

Behaviors that fly in the face of social convention and legal restraint have provoked interest and argument throughout recorded history. Early clinical accounts described individuals who failed to conform to moral and legal expectations by reference to evil spirits, moral defects, and personal inferiorities. More recent clinical and research work has focused on measurement of the antisocial personality and developing a nomenclature for distinguishing antisocial from other character disorder categories. The literature continues to reflect a deficit model as explanatory for antisocial proclivity, and the search persists for biological and psychological corollaries of blatant nonconformity. This chapter reviews historical and present conceptualizations of antisocial personality from a broad perspective. Competing views concerning classification of the disorder will be presented, and etiological theories attempting to account for its origins, concomitants, and progression will be described. Empirical tests of assumptions derived from these theories are discussed, as are available assessment techniques and current approaches to treatment or behavior change.
