“…Indeed, assessments involving bias-susceptible interviews or self-reports vulnerable to deception would be rendered unnecessary if theoretical objective measures of brain activation were established. However, the examination of where psychopathy is localized has proved difficult (for in-depth analyses of the neurobiology of psychopathy, see Anderson et al, 2018;Blair et al, 2018;Espinoza, 2018).…”

“…An examination of common assessment perspectives in neuroimaging studies provides insight about how to generate more reliable and useful results. Total scores of psychopathy are frequently considered in assessments yielding different conclusions about localization (Kiehl et al, 2004;Yang et al, 2009;Anderson et al, 2018) and are susceptible to the same criticism that ignores facets of psychopathy. In their meta-analytic study, Costafreda et al (2008) concluded that activation in the amygdala is reliably associated with exposure to affective stimuli.…”

Purpose This paper aims to evaluate trends in research and clinical practice that may contribute to the limited utility of assessment and treatment modalities designed to capture and address psychopathy. It identifies a lack of consistency between the academic understanding of psychopathy and how the construct is applied in clinical contexts. The authors provide clarity and direction for a more effective application of the psychopathy construct in practical contexts. Design/methodology/approach This review first examines the etiology of important limitations to psychopathy research and practical application, and proposes the adoption of the most recent empirical conceptualization of the construct into practical contexts. It then evaluates the current functionality of psychopathy in practical contexts. The review ultimately proposes a method for designing intervention practices based on the model used in the development of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for borderline personality disorder, which will improve the practical utility of the construct. Findings The present review provides evidence that a multifaceted and dimensional perspective of psychopathy will improve the practical utility of the construct and help move the field forward. It suggests that considering independent components of the psychopathy construct along a continuous scale, as with DBT, will contribute to improvements in assessments and treatments that target psychopathy. Practical implications The current review applies relevant research to a model for developing an intervention modality particularly in forensic or correctional settings where individuals high in psychopathy are often seen. The implications outlined provide a framework that could impact practice and assessment in forensic contexts moving forward. Originality/value Previous research has not concisely outlined problems concerning the link between psychopathy research and how the construct is applied in practical settings. Few researchers have proposed plausible solutions that could improve the utility of the construct in such settings.
