“…This can help guide treatment recommendations in relation to both the treatment pathway, and any responsivity needs within any treatment. Although he PCL-R is not a risk assessment tool in itself, psychopathy has been found to be a robust risk factor for future violence in a variety of diverse populations (Forth, Hart & Hare, 1990;Hill, Rogers & Bickford, 1996;Quinsey, Rice & Harris, 1995;Rice & Harris, 1992;Serin, 1991Serin, , 1996Serin & Amos, 1995). Thus, identification of psychopathic individuals is important in the criminal justice system because it guides risk management and treatment approaches to work with this sub group of offenders.…”

Psychopathic personality disorder is the subject of many research papers and in particular in the context of forensic settings, where its link to risk of future violent has been established. This topic is well examined but there is still considerable debate bout the nature of the construct and how psychopathy is measured. Contemporary models such as the triarchic theory (Patricks, Fowles and Krueger (2009)

“…Long-term monitoring of the diagnostic status of those classified as suffering from personality disorders, including psychopathy, indicates that reductions in symptom severity occur. Serin (1995) noted longitudinal evidence concerning decreasing portions of study samples retaining diagnostic features. This is amplified by Sanislow & McGlashan (1998) who reviewed 44 studies of the 'natural course' of personality disorders (PD) including antisocial PD.…”

This paper addresses the question of whether individual violence can be reduced in frequency or severity, if so to what extent and by which methods. It opens with a brief overview of the nature of personal violence and discussion of some key definitional and methodological problems. However, its principal focus is on the findings obtained from a series of meta-analytic reviews of structured programmes for adolescents and adults who have shown repeated aggression or been convicted of personal violence, drawing together the results of studies conducted in prison, probation, youth justice and allied services. Additional results are considered from a systematic review of studies of violence prevention among offenders with mental disorders. This incorporates the preliminary findings of a meta-analysis of controlled trials of psychosocial interventions with that population. Overall, it is concluded that there is sufficient evidence currently available to substantiate the claim that personal violence can be reduced by psychosocial interventions, but that much more research is required to delineate the parameters of effectiveness in this context. Proposals are made for future investigations with reference to the theoretical understanding of causal relationships and the design of experimental trials.

“…Violent patients with schizophrenia have higher psychopathy scores than those who are not violent [45]. These patients also have a higher number of criminal acts [56,60]. Some authors claim that psychopathy is a robust predictor of violent, recidivism especially in patients with schizophrenia [61,55].…”

Psychopathy is the result of the bundle of personality characteristics that typically displays socio-communicative impairment as well as restricted social skills and activities in which neurophysiological impairments are reported. The most prominent feature of psychopathy is that communication failures occur in interpersonal relations due to insincere charm for manipulations, grandiose self-perception, rule-breaking tendencies, irresponsibility and unpredictable impulsive behaviors. Since the individuals with psychopathic traits are very self-centered, they act on their emotional state. Their behaviors are driven by feelings and impulsive wishes. That is why, they are untrustable individuals. They have lots of diiculty and are considered to be dangerous in maintaining long-term relationships, particularly with their intimate partner. It is a critical mistake to assume that psychopathy is caused by the individual's incomplete individuality. This mistake leads to inability to be eliminated of the problems in not only correctional interventions in forensic setings but also treatment procedures in clinical setings. In this chapter, the characteristics of psychopathy are explained for providing some inspiration in the line of successful treatment procedures and intervention strategies in forensic and clinical setings.Keywords: psychopathy, impairment, forensic clinical psychology, criminal psychology IntroductionPsychopathy is a personality traits bundle, which is the relection of organizational personality problems during childhood and adolescent period and a personality disorder in adulthood.

Human behaviors, on the other hand, have been emerged in the direction of the thoughts combined with sentiments, making sense, abstraction and inference. Therefore, there should be "knowledge" that directly contributes to the formation of philosophies and emotions underlying the behavior. Where does "knowledge" come from? Moreover, it is accepted that emotions have evolved from the inluence of external factors on the areas of the brain. The external factors include genes, family environment, social environment and psychosocial development periods. Collectively, these factors are efective in the formation of our thoughts and feelings that underlie our behavior that reveals our motivation too. Emotions contribute to the formation of behaviors via matching experiences. As evolutionary psychologists have pointed out, brain, central nervous system has established appropriate systems for protecting the...
