“…The first base is establishing the existence of a coherent syndrome (i.e. a pattern of symptoms that cluster together and that can be distinguished from other cluster of symptoms; see, e.g., Blashfield & Draguns, 1976;Eysenck, 1970;Kendell, 1989). Regrettably, gender research on psychopathy remains at first base.…”

Despite the growing number of studies on psychopathy in females, the core characteristics of this personality disorder among females remain uninvestigated. Most studies on psychopathy in females have attempted to understand the disorder by applying male criteria to adult females: they have ignored putative gender differences in the constitution and expression of this disorder. Several issues require resolution: first, whether practitioners apply the same criteria to diagnose psychopathy in women, second, whether the instruments used to assess psychopathy are tapping the same construct across gender, third, whether the same types of behavioral expression of key traits are similar across genders, and fourth, whether the diagnosis possesses the same forensic utility across genders. The relevant literature is reviewed and issues of design and analysis are considered.

“…In previous reports (Morey et al 2002(Morey et al , 2003 we have noted convergences between these different approaches to personality description. However, common among theoretical systems of diagnostic acceptability (Robins & Guze, 1970 ;Kendell, 1975 ;Blashfield & Draguns, 1976) is the notion that predictive validity is more directly pertinent to the selection of diagnostic models than convergent validity, or, as Kendell (1975) noted, 'all diagnostic concepts stand or fall by the strength of the prognostic and therapeutic implications they embody ' (p. 40). The demonstration that a diagnostic system is capable of reliably predicting a variety of etiological, concurrent and prognostic factors independent of and apart from other diagnostic symptoms is necessary to test hypotheses regarding relationships between models.…”

“…The past decade has witnessed a burgeoning of clinical and research attention to the PDs, but important and fundamental questions regarding different aspects of their validity remain (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). Some concerns regarding the validity of PDs, which include, for example, questionable reliability (see 10) and high diagnostic co-occur-rence (11), naturally beg for basic psychometric work on the PD criteria and diagnoses (9,(12)(13)(14)(15)(16).…”
