Psychopathie Disorder — A Useful Clinical Concept?

Abstract

The study reported upon here set out to investigate the degree to which the clinical concept of psychopathic disorder was shared between psychiatrists, psychologists and probation officers. Despite the small sample of respondents, it seems not unreasonable to conclude from the results reported below that the diagnosis of psychopathic disorder is still considered to be a useful one. © 1990, The British Academy of Forensic Sciences.
