Overview
Antisocial personality disorder is a mental health condition characterized by a persistent pattern of disregard for the rights of others and for social norms and rules. People with the disorder may show a lack of empathy and remorse, deceitfulness, impulsivity, irritability or aggression, and difficulty conforming to lawful and responsible behavior. It is one of the recognized personality disorders, typically identified in adulthood with roots in earlier behavioral patterns, and it is often associated with other mental health and behavioral difficulties. Assessment and management involve psychological evaluation and structured therapeutic approaches. Within the journal's scope on psychological disorders, antisocial personality disorder sits among the conditions studied through behavioral assessment, neuropsychological evaluation, and their interaction with other disorders. The journal's scope addresses the assessment and understanding of behavioral and personality disturbances, including work using psychological assessment and imaging in young people with deviant behavior and research on regulatory systems relevant to mood and behavior. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to antisocial personality disorder and the broader study of personality and behavioral disorders.
