Abstract

Psychopathy equals violence. Whatever rubric is used identifies a person with a greater likelihood of violence, often motivated by opportunism, sadism or material gain. Treatment responsivity and harm reduction as treatment success in high-risk or repetitive offenders seems overreaching. It would be ideal and even a "magic bullet" to be able to predict dangerousness with absolute certainty but, currently, there's no successful model for intervention and a diagnosis of psychopathy mostly means that treatment is unlikely to work.
