Treatment of Sexual Offenders With Psychopathic Traits
This article provides a review of recent literature related to the treatment of psychopathy in forensic settings, with particular focus on studies with sexual offenders.

Research demonstrating an interaction between psychopathy and substance abuse and between psychopathy and sexual deviance is also presented. Both s…

We standardized scores on each of these domains to facilitate the calculation of tot…
