The Complexity of Psychopathy

Part of the book series: Dangerous Behavior in Clinical and Forensic Psychology ((DBCFP))

Abstract

Neurodevelopmental disorders, specifically intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and psychopathy are completely separate and distinct diagnoses/conditions. Despite their drastic differences at the surface level, symptoms and behaviors associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and/or psychopathy are embedded in the very fabric of the individuals’ life and significantly impacts their daily functioning. Lower intelligence and adaptive functioning deficits are symptoms of ID and intelligence quotient is seen as unchangeable due to the organic nature of ID. Social interaction deficits and engaging in repetitive behaviors are symptoms of ASD and significantly impair the individuals’ ability to engage with others and their community. Lastly, psychopathic traits are deeply ingrained in the individuals’ personality. This chapter explores the relationship between ID and psychopathy and ASD and psychopathy. More specifically, this chapter will provide an overview of each diagnosis/condition, assessment information for each diagnosis/condition, information on various comorbid relationships, and outline prominent interventions.
