Pharmacological Interventions for Preventing Violence Among the Mentally Ill with Co-Occurring Personality Disorders

  • Chapter
Violence among the Mentally III

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASID,volume 90))

Abstract

Antisocial personality disorder (APD) is partly defined by the history of violent behaviour (DSM-IV), and psychopathy is known to be associated with violent crime (Hare, 1996; Hare & McPherson, 1984). Psychopathy is a term that had been used rather loosely until Cleckley (1976) endowed it with specific content, conceptual framework, and clinical descriptions. Hare and his group have developed the concept and provided several versions of a diagnostic instrument—the Psychopathy Checklist. The version most frequently used in criminal offender populations is called the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R); this is a 20-item rating scale. A cut-off score of 30 (or 25 by some authors) implies the diagnosis of psychopathy.
