2. Background

3. What is Antisocial Personality Disorder?
“Sometimes called sociopathy, [it] is a mental condition in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others” (Mayo Clinic)
Tendencies to antagonize, manipulate, or treat others with harsh indifference
Showing no guilt or remorse for one’s behavior

4. Difficulties of Treatment
Most people with the disorder reject treatment as they believe they do not need help
Feel little sympathy for others and thus are unaffected by their actions
Behavior is most prominent in early life and must be treated before it develops

5. Importance of Treatment
Many negative complications if left untreated:
spouse/child/alcohol abuse
homicidal/suicidal tendencies (school shootings)
gang participation

6. Measures intended to prevent antisocial personality disorder must begin with interventions in early childhood, before youths are at risk for developing conduct disorder.
