Psychopathy: Theory, Research and Implications for Society

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASID,volume 88))

Abstract

This book is based on a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on psychopathy held in Alvor, Portugal from November 27 to December 7, 1995. Like the first ASI on psychopathy, organized by Daisy Schalling and me and held in Les Arcs, France in September, 1995 (Hare & Schalling, 1978), the Alvor meeting followed the format recommended by NATO for an ASI, described as high level teaching seminar in which “lecturers ” and “students ” meet in a relatively secluded location for an extended period of intensive instruction, discussion, and debate on a specific topic of international interest. However, the two ASIs differed dramatically in content and mood.
