“…Nevertheless, psychosocial deprivation has been found by others to be associated with psychopathy or CU traits in a number of populations. 6,[26][27][28] Thus, our findings are consistent with other work demonstrating psychosocial deprivation as a risk factor for CU traits, but also extend previous research through the use of an RCT to causally examine the effect of a high-quality foster care intervention on CU traits.…”

Objective-Callous-unemotional (CU) traits in childhood are a developmental precursor to psychopathy, yet the origins and etiology of CU traits are not known.

Children were recruited from institutions in Bucharest, Romania, along with age-and sex-matched children who were never institutionalized. Children raised in institutional settings were randomized (mean age = 22 months) to either a foster care group (n = 68) or a care-as-usual group (n = 68). CU traits were assessed at age 12.75 years in available participants from the randomized trial (n = 95) and children who were never institutionali...

“…Several studies have since documented a link between psychopathic traits and childhood trauma. For example, in their seminal longitudinal study of 652 young adults, Weiler and Widom (1996) found that individuals with a legally documented history of childhood abuse/neglect were significantly more likely than a matched control sample of 489 individuals without a documented history of maltreatment to develop psychopathic traits and violent behavior approximately 20 years later (see also Bernstein, Stein, & Handelsman, 1998;Campbell, Porter, & Santor, 2004;Krischer & Sevecke, 2008). Similarly, developmental research indicates that trauma exposure (abuse, neglect) during toddlerhood is associated with early affective deficits consistent with CU traits, namely a lack of empathy and concern for others (Main & George, 1985).…”

“…Krischer and Sevecke showed that relationships between physical traumatization and the CU traits could be conirmed among criminal boys, but not among delinquent girls. However, they found that in girls, other family-related variables, such as nonparental living arrangements, seemed to be more inluential in developing the psychopathy syndrome than traumatization [127].…”

Psychopathy - New Updates on an Old Phenomenon

Serious conduct problems are a serious mental health and public policy concern. Such conduct problems are highly related to criminal behavior and are associated with a host of other social, emotional, and academic problems. In addition, serious conduct problems in childhood predict later impairments in the domains of mental health, legal, educational, social, occupational, and physical health. In the past two decades, a signiicant body of research has emerged reining how the key features associated with psychopathy may be expressed in children and adolescents. These researches have focused largely on the presence of callous-unemotional traits, which correspond closely to the afective dimension of psychopathy-core to the construct in adult samples. Several reviews have focused on important theoretical questions related to how best to identify psychopathy in children and adolescents but do not directly address their importance for understanding, classifying, and treating youths with severe conduct problems. So, in the forefront of these studies, I aimed to review the development of psychopathy from childhood. In this chapter, topics related to psychopathy, such as diagnosis and nosology, epidemiologic studies, etiologic factors, assessment, diagnostic interviews, comorbid disorders and longitudinal outcome, treatment modalities, and treatment outcome in samples of children and adolescents, were included.
