| Summary: | Psychopathy may be one of the best known behaviour disorders both at clinical level and in the general population but, given the many definitions it has had in its long history, it has often been used loosely to diagnose different types of behaviour that have very little in common except a display of coldness and cruelty. It may therefore be deduced that, despite its popularity, there are also many misconceptions surrounding psychopathology. The aim of this work is to examine the concept of psychopathy and its most important characteristics. In so doing, it attempts to clearly demarcate the concept of psychopathy from other similar conditions with which it is sometimes confused, such as antisocial personality disorder. |
