“…Another meta-analysis compared the efficacy of eleven different psychological therapies, including CBT, for antisocial personality disorder (Gibbon et al, 2010). Results suggested that compared to control treatment, CBT plus standard maintenance was more efficacious in terms of leaving the study early and cocaine use for outpatients with antisocial personality disorder and comorbid cocaine dependence.…”

The Efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: A Review of Meta-analyses

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) refers to a popular therapeutic approach that has been applied to a variety of problems. The goal of this review was to provide a comprehensive survey of meta-analyses examining the efficacy of CBT. We identified 269 meta-analytic studies and reviewed of those a representative sample of 106 meta-analyses examining CBT for the following problems: substance use disorder, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, depression and dysthymia, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, somatoform disorders, eating disorders, insomnia, personality disorders, anger and aggression, criminal behaviors, general stress, distress due to general medical conditions, chronic pain and fatigue, distress related to pregnancy complications and female hormonal conditions. Additional meta-analytic reviews examined the efficacy of CBT for various problems in children and elderly adults. The strongest support exists for CBT of anxiety disorders, somatoform disorders, bulimia, anger control problems, and general stress. Eleven studies compared response rates between CBT and other treatments or control conditions. CBT showed higher response rates than the comparison conditions in 7 of these reviews and only one review reported that CBT had lower response rates than comparison treatments. In general, the evidence-base of CBT is very strong. However, additional research is needed to examine the efficacy of CBT for randomized-controlled studies. Moreover, except for children and elderly populations, no meta-analytic studies of CBT have been reported on specific subgroups, such as ethnic minorities and low income samples.

“…Epidemiological studies report a prevalence of 2–3% in the general population, with estimates of approximately 3% in men and 1% in women (Gibbon et al, 2010). Furthermore, 47% of male prisoners in worldwide prison systems were diagnosed with ASPD (Fazel and Danesh, 2002), showing a very close link between ASPD and criminal behavior.…”

Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD), one of whose characteristics is high impulsivity, is of great interest in the field of brain structure and function. However, little is known about possible impairments in the cortical anatomy in ASPD, in terms of cortical thickness and surface area, as well as their possible relationship with impulsivity. In this neuroimaging study, we first investigated the changes of cortical thickness and surface area in ASPD patients, in comparison to those of healthy controls, and then performed correlation analyses between these measures and the ability of impulse control. We found that ASPD patients showed thinner cortex while larger surface area in several specific brain regions, i.e., bilateral superior frontal gyrus, orbitofrontal and triangularis, insula cortex, precuneus, middle frontal gyrus, middle temporal gyrus, and left bank of superior temporal sulcus. In addition, we also found that the ability of impulse control was positively correlated with cortical thickness in the superior frontal gyrus, middle frontal gyrus, orbitofrontal cortex, pars triangularis, superior temporal gyrus, and insula cortex. To our knowledge, this study is the first to reveal simultaneous changes in cortical thickness and surface area in ASPD, as well as their relationship with impulsivity. These cortical structural changes may introduce uncontrolled and callous behavioral characteristic in ASPD patients, and these potential biomarkers may be very helpful in understanding the pathomechanism of ASPD.

“…Zur Therapierbarkeit dieser Klientel ist auszuführen, dass in Bezug auf die antisoziale Persönlichkeitsstörung bislang keine hinsichtlich ihrer Wirksamkeit empirisch belegten therapeutischen Konzepte [24] vorliegen. Die "psychopathy"-Merkmale sprechen für eine zusätzlich eingeschränkte therapeutische Erreichbarkeit, wobei auch therapieschädi-gendes Verhalten zu erwarten ist [37].…”
