“…Several studies have shown higher levels of insecure attachment in violent offenders than in the normal population (van IJzendoorn 1997;Frodi 2001;Adshead 2004;Levinson 2004;Bogaerts 2005). This evidence is supported by studies which show that offenders in prison or secure forensic institutions are more likely to report having experienced separations, abuse and neglect from their early caregivers than the general population (Coid 1992;Heads 1997;Weeks 1998).…”

SummaryAntisocial personality disorder is a complex condition carrying high rates of comorbidity and mortality for individuals as well as harmful consequences for their families and society. Despite the publication of National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines for the disorder, the evidence base and provision of effective treatments remain inadequate, and the belief that the condition is untreatable remains widespread among psychiatrists and other professionals. This article highlights current diagnostic controversies and summarises the evidence for conceptualising antisocial personality disorder as a disorder of attachment. Informed by this developmental perspective, we provide a framework for the management and treatment of adults with antisocial personality disorder, highlighting the importance of creating a safe setting and recommending adaptations of therapeutic technique to facilitate the engagement of this ‘treatment-rejecting’ patient population. We conclude with an outline of the current government policy on the treatment of high-risk offenders with personality disorder.LEARNING OBJECTIVESKnow the current diagnostic criteria and epidemiology of antisocial personality disorder.Evaluate the evidence that antisocial personality disorder can be conceptualised as a disorder of attachment, and use a developmental framework to inform treatment interventions.Gain an understanding of psychological approaches to antisocial personality disorder.

“…Among 426 rst admissions for psychosis in the USA, the prevalence of lifetime trauma exposure was 63%for men (24% child abuse) and 77%for women (44% child abuse) (Neria, Bromet, Sievers, Lavelle, & Fochtman, 2002). Even a chart review (which underestimates abuse rates; see Discussion) found that 52% of female, and 28% of male, patients diagnosed with schizophrenia in a British 'special hospital' had suffered 'parental violence against patient' (Heads, Taylor, & Leese, 1997). Of 5,362 children, those whose mothers had poor parenting skills when they were 4 were signi cantly more likely to be diagnosed schizophrenic as adults ( Jones, Rodgers, Murray, & Marmont, 1994).…”

Sexual and physical abuse during childhood and adulthood as predictors of hallucinations, delusions and thought disorder

et al. 2003

In light of recent studies indicating a relationship between child abuse and the positive symptoms of schizophrenia, this study investigated the hypotheses that childhood sexual and physical abuse are related to hallucinations, delusions, and thought disorder in adults, and that those relationships are greater in those who have suffered abuse during adulthood as well as childhood. In 200 community mental-health-centre clients, the clinically evaluated symptomatology of the 92 clients whose les documented sexual or physical abuse at some point in their lives was compared with that of the 108 for whom no abuse was documented. In the 60 patients for whom child abuse was documented, hallucinations (including all six subtypes), but not delusions, thought disorder or negative symptoms, were signi cantly more common than in the nonabused group. Adult sexual assault was related to hallucinations, delusions, and thought disorder. In linear regression analysis, a combination of child abuse and adult abuse predicted hallucinations, delusions, and thought disorder. However, child abuse was a signi cant predictor of auditory and tactile hallucinations, even in the absence of adult abuse. Possible psychological and neurobiological pathways from abuse to symptoms are discussed, along with research and clinical implications.Investigating whether child abuse (CA) is related to mental-health problems in adulthood is important theoretically, but also has crucial clinical implications in terms of the accuracy of formulations and the comprehensiveness of treatment planning. The range of adult disorders for which studies seem to indicate that CAor neglect may have a causal role includes: depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, substance abuse, sexual dysfunction, personality disorders, and dissociative disorders (Beitchman et al
