Constructing morals without empathybut it was considered too old so a mod made my post there into a a new topic, so I'll change the subject, too. Does anyone have an opinion on how psychopathy is not considered a diagnosis outside forensic settings? Currently I'm only aware of callous/unemotional as an additional descriptor for the DSM under anti social personality disorder. I feel psychopaths do exist separately, but progress is slow because they have to sort through a population that has a lot of functional members (many psychopaths not strictly disordered). Unfortunately, the message we seem to get is as though only ASPD exist. Last edited by Happy Camper; Mar 16, 2021 at 04:29 PM.. |

Dear Happy Camper,
Interesting ideas. I don't know enough to even have an educated opinion about the subject though. Sincerely yours, Yao Wen |

There are studies that deal with the distinction between ASPD and Psychopathy if I remember correctly. And there are scientists in that field that deal with it. It just doesn't make it in the DSM I guess, so your average psychologist/ psyvhiatrist/ therapist doen't work with it. |

Ignore the labels, the APA was barking up the wrong tree with this "antisocial personality disorder" bs.
