Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2010

Psychologists consider the personality disorders to be the most researched of all psychiatric diagnoses, yet they remain a largely misunderstood factor in both criminal justice and substance abuse. Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is the most destructive personality disorder and afflicts just over 4% of American adults. The majority of people supervised in America's criminal justice system, which currently is 3.2% of the population, have ASPD. This textbook represents a comprehensive review of the criminal justice system, background and nature of ASPD, and the emerging concepts of applying evidence-based treatment practices. Recidivism, treatment outcomes, criminal personality and psychopathy, and effective practices are covered.
