Isi artikel

The popular opinion about the treatment of psychopathy is that it is not very promising. The personality traits that define the psychopath seem to be not compatible with traditional psychotherapy. This article reviews outcome studies on the treatment of psychopaths to answer the question whether treatment of psychopaths has positive outcomes. This article also emphasizes the role of brain abnormalities in psychopaths that may lead to the conclusion that social deficits of psychopaths are a cause of brain damage and therefore not treatable at all. It appears that treatment is not at all useless for psychopaths. Rather, there has to be made more effort to tailor traditional treatment methods to the characteristics and needs of psychopaths. It also appears that treatment for adolescent psychopaths is more promising than that of adult psychopaths. Further it seems that the ‘dose’ of treatment determines the outcome: More treatment than ‘treatment as usual’ is needed to reduce violent recidivism in psychopaths.
