This article is the second in a two-part series on psychopathy. The first article systematically, although provisionally, reviewed the major transitions associated with psychopathy's historical development, focusing on how changes in nomenclature, meaning, degree of social condemnation, and prognosis significantly affect the current understanding of this mental disorder. This article assesses the most pressing forensic practice issues stemming from the convoluted history of psychopathy. In particular, this article comments on assessment concerns related to the convergence and divergence of the antisocial personality disorder-psychopathy continuum, on diagnostic and treatment concerns related to countertransference and misdiagnosis, and on courtroom testimony concerns related to competent forensic evaluations particularly when clinical assessments of sexually violent predators are administered. On this latter point, this article explores the limits of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised, especially in regard to predicting accurately violent sexual recidivism. Ultimately, this article clarifies much of the confusion surrounding psychopathy and forensic (correctional) practice.This article is the second in a two-part series on psychopathy. The first article provided an analytical review of the major transitions associated with psychopathy's historical development, documenting where and how interpretations of this mental disorder have produced confusion and misunderstanding in nomenclature, meaning, degree of condemnation, and prognosis (Arrigo & Shipley, 2001). Missing from this investigation, however, was any sustained examination of the current forensic practice problems arising from psychopathy's changing and complicated evolution.This article examines the most serious and pressing contemporary issues stemming from the convoluted history of psychopathy. In particular, several notable implications for forensic and correctional practice are presented. In the first section, we examine the antisocial personality disorder (ASPD)-psychopathy continuum, describing where the two constructs overlap and where they diverge. In addition, empirical data are offered, demonstrating the relationship between ASPD, psychopathy, and violence. The actual base rates of ASPD and psychopathy in prison settings are also provided. In the second section, we address the confusion and countertransference (i.e., social control) that occurs when diagnosing someone as psychopathic. We note several important differences when identify-
