“…That is, Wong et al. () examined treatment effectiveness for violent male patients with psychopathy, a population where treatment is known to be less effective than for violent offenders generally (Barbaree, ; Hemphill & Hart, ; Salekin, Worley, & Grimes, ). Further, the extended follow‐up period used in this study—that is, 88 months, denoting the longest follow‐up period examined by a period of 39 months—is also likely to have contributed to the null effects.…”

This meta‐analysis examined whether psychological treatments with adult violent offenders in correctional and forensic mental health settings are effective in preventing community recidivism and institutional (hospital/prison) misconduct. A total of 27 controlled studies containing 7,062 violent offenders were obtained via a comprehensive search strategy that yielded more than 13,000 records. Overall, treatments with violent offenders significantly reduced violent and general/nonviolent recidivism. The average effect for violent and general/nonviolent institutional misconduct did not attain statistical significance. Moderator analyses indicated numerous trends; however, most effects were nonsignificant following alpha‐level corrections. Findings regarding the impact of psychological treatments are promising and suggest that multimodal treatments are associated with the strongest treatment effects. However, the extant evidence base is limited by a small number of well‐controlled outcome studies and inconsistent/incomplete reporting of the evaluations. More high‐quality research is needed to investigate the effectiveness of violent offender treatment on outcomes and mechanisms of action, and to determine which treatment components are effective, in what combination, and for which offenders.

“…The PCL-R has amassed an impressive body of research attesting to its concurrent and predictive validity (e.g., Hare, 1996) and figures prominently in the decisions of professionals in therapeutic, correctional, and legal settings around the world (Hart 2001; Hemphill & Hart, 2008; Lyon & Ogloff, 2000). Despite the widespread usage of the construct, however, knowledge regarding the generalizability of psychopathy to individuals of different cultures is limited.…”

The generalizability of the psychopathy construct to Eastern European cultures has not been well-studied, and no prior studies have evaluated psychopathy in non-offender samples from this population. The current validation study examines the factor structure, internal consistency, and external validity of the Bulgarian translation of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist: Screening Version. Two hundred sixty-two Bulgarian adults from the general community were assessed, of which 185 had a history of substance dependence. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated good fit for the two-, three-, and four-factor models of psychopathy. Zero-order and partial correlation analyses were conducted between the two factors of psychopathy and criterion measures of antisocial behavior, internalizing and externalizing psychopathology, personality traits, addictive disorders and demographic characteristics. Relationships to external variables provided evidence for the convergent and discriminant validity of the psychopathy construct in a Bulgarian community sample.

“…Antisocial and self‐focused attitudes may reinforce views that there is no need to change, while externalising control may lead to blaming others and a failure to take responsibility for one's actions or need to change (Chambers et al, ). Desire to exert power over others may lead an offender to consider treatment as a threat to self‐image (Hemphill and Hart, ). Thus, psychopathic cognition may mean that patients see treatment as not applicable for them, and so be more likely to refuse them (Brown and Tully, ).…”
