Therapeutic communities of psychopathy
 Therapeutic communities were first developed under the leadership of Maxwell Jones in the UK in the late 1940s. These provided an intensive 24-hour-a-day intervention to change psychopathic behaviour. Those within them were made responsible for the physical and emotional care of others within the community.

Neurological mechanisms in psychopathy
Converging evidence suggests that the defi cits in emotional processing associated with psychopathy are linked to damage to the limbic system inhibiting the processing of emotional information.

Aetiology of antisocial personality and psychopathy

Some studies of antisocial personality include within them what Hare and others would consider to be psychopathy. Other studies specifi cally focus on psychopathy as defi ned by Hare. As […]
