Abstract
Psychopaths tend to act on a whim, without thinking. This means that they do not consider the consequences for themselves or what might happen to those around them. While psychopathy is not entirely consistent with antisocial personality disorder, the two are similar enough to suggest that treatment options may also be similar. There are many risks associated with psychopathy. Indeed, psychopathy is “one of the best predictors of future violence that we know of”.
