Abstract
Abstract This entry reviews the historic background for the diagnoses of antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy along with modern conceptions of these disorders and empirical findings pertaining to their correlates and causes. In doing so, the entry discusses these clinical conditions in relation to a broader integrative model of impulse control disorders that encompasses substance‐related problems along with impulsive sensation‐seeking tendencies and aggressive behavior of differing types. Approaches to prevention and treatment of these conditions are also reviewed.

This comprehensive review addresses what psychopathy is, whether variants or subtypes exist, the sorts of causal influences that contribute to psychopathy, how early in development psychopathy can validly be identified, and how psychopathy relates to future criminal behavior and treatment outcomes and provides an integrative descriptive framework--the triarchic model--to help the reader make sense of differing conceptualizations.
