Individuals with psychopathy typically are viewed as incurable cases that should be diverted from treatment settings to environments where their behavior can be monitored and controlled. The prevailing clinical conviction that psychopaths are untreatable has crucial implications, given the scarcity of mental health care resources, the number of legal contexts that call for assessment of treatability, and the explosion of research on psychopathy and violence risk over recent years. Based on a sample of 871 civil psychiatric patients (including 195 potentially psychopathic and 72 psychopathic patients), this study explores the relations among psychopathy, receipt of outpatient mental health services in real-world settings, and subsequent violence in the community. The results suggest that psychopathic traits do not moderate the effect of treatment involvement on violence, even after controlling statistically for the treatment assignment process. Psychopathic patients appear as likely as nonpsychopathic patients to benefit from adequate doses of treatment, in terms of violence reduction. We interpret these results in light of prior research with offenders and analyze their implications for future research, policy, and practice. 相似文献

There is growing support for the disaggregation of psychopathy into primary and secondary variants. This study examines whether
variants of psychopathy can be identified in a subsample (n = 116) of juvenile offenders with high scores on the Youth Version of the Psychopathy Checklist (PCL:YV). Model-based cluster
analysis of offenders’ scores on the PCL:YV and a measure of anxiety suggested a two-group solution. The derived clusters
manifested expected differences across theoretically relevant constructs of abuse history, hostility, and psychiatric symptoms.
Compared with low-anxious primary variants, high-anxious secondary variants manifested more institutional violence, greater
psychosocial immaturity, and more instability in institutional violence over a 2-year period, but similar stability in PCL:YV
scores. 相似文献
