Currently dissocial personality disorder   considered one of the most controversial categories that often arise in the clinical field. Some argue that it is not a disease, but only - cover for criminals and fraudsters, and other specialists - a real mental disorder. All psychopathic person suffering dissocial personality disorder, are combined in a separate group due to underdeveloped higher Moral Sentiments .

This kind of personality disorder is allocated in a special category with the help of specific social criteria, including - failure to strictly follow the dominant social norms in society, as well as being law-abiding citizens . As a rule, sociopaths remain indifferent to the different social standards, they are distinguished by a strong sense of love, often impulsive and generally deprived sense of responsibility . As if they were not punished, no matter how many penalties are not administered, this category of persons not able to remove completely any lessons, even from their own negative experience.

If you approach the brain disorder with clinical position, this mental illness is allocated a special group on conditional status. Patriotic nozograficheskaya tradition   not currently allocates this group of human personality disorders. Many researchers believe that a special category of psychopaths simply can not exist as a tendency to break the law in no way involved in the symptoms of dissocial personality disorder.

This point of view is under a great base as absolutely possible legal violations at any type of personality disorders, as well as in perfectly healthy individuals in the mental plane. However, to date, not only clinical, but also forensic psychiatric reality becomes unpleasant and often inexplicable fact. So, often people with certain psychopathic warehouse are repeat offenders, conducting most of the time in prison than on the outside. These citizens repeatedly commit criminal acts, and refer them to psychiatrists persons excitable type, although often found, and unlike them. Thus some individuals belong to persons suffering schizoid personality disorder And the other is credited narcissistic syndrome   or emotional instability .

The development of dissocial personality disorder

This group of psychopaths from the early years of life is characterized by the lack of any spiritual interests, selfishness, immorality, impulsivity. Persons with dissocial personality disorder stubborn, deceitful, and quarrelsome, often exhibit the stiffness in relation to animals and younger children in their teens they come in opposition to their own parents, often showing open hostility to the people around. As a rule, sociopaths in the early school years, and then - in adolescence show different patterns of their negative behavior, running away from home, skip classes, damage property, commit violent acts often organize arson.

During the communication with other people sociopaths rather hot-tempered, often bring themselves to attack the anger and foul language in the school, are the instigators of fights and other acts of hooliganism. Reaching adulthood, people with personality disorders of this type, run away from home, and as a result, begin to wander and steal, considering the systematic production activities simply unbearable for himself. If you examine the track record of sociopaths can be seen frequent change of jobs, as well as frequent absences without a valid reason. Going back, they do not even think to find himself immediately a new job.

These people affection and emotional motivations are absent, they do not show attention to neglected neighbors and established traditions, significantly disrupt family life, ignoring the moral, social and legal norms, and, ultimately, end up in prison. While many persons suffering from dissocial personality disorder, after reaching the age of forty cease to engage in criminal activity, but individual citizens throughout their lives do not stop criminal activities.

Symptoms of dissocial personality disorder

Main symptoms - complacency As well as solid self-righteousness . This sociopaths do not appreciate critical neither the act, any remark in its own address or recovery of such persons are often assessed as a manifestation of injustice to them. With money sociopaths treated rather casually, in a drunken state made even more conflict and vicious, smashing everything around and fight. The life of people with dissocial personality disorder can be seen as a series of continuous conflict and the fight against social order, which often includes a fake securities, robbery and theft, as well as the brutal acts of violence. But do not think that sociopaths are guided only for selfish reasons, because it is fun even any insult and humiliation of other people.

It should be noted that persons with personality disorders often seek their own interests at the expense of those around them. Do not attempt to cause a sociopathic sense of shame or compassion, remorse, or remind him of conscience - such actions will be futile, since the main feature of such citizens - callousness. If you do not take into account the mental disorders that are linked to a single or constant use of drugs, dissocial personality disorder is now most often associated with older people who commit criminal acts.

For the most typical cases of this group of patients, different pronounced emotional changes, in most cases, need timely differential diagnosis to identify Schizophrenia . Scientists have found that often occurs at an early age is a consequence of moral stupidity slowly developing schizophrenia is characterized by chronic mania or geboidnymi manifestations. This fact often confirms the diagnosis of dissocial personality disorder.

The reasons due to which there is a dissocial personality disorder

Antisocial personality disorder, scientists and doctors are trying to explain, developing biological . behavioral . cognitive   and psychodynamic   theory. This psychodynamic theory stipulates that the development of dissocial personality disorder is due to a lack of parental love since infancy, and subsequently lost the trust of the child to all people around.

Typically, children with such personality disorder characterized by emotional aloofness and establish contacts only destructive way by force. Theorists prove their case by the fact that most sociopaths others in childhood faced with a stressful situation, often hard to parents going through a divorce, and then grew up in single-parent family, exposed to violence from an early age, or lack of money parents. In production antisocial attitudes   sociopaths could have a negative affect example of parents who behaved in a similar way.

Behavioral theorists   They argue that the severe symptoms of dissocial personality disorder are often an imitation of an imitation, or the behavior of others, especially their parents. Some scientists who hold to this theory, go even further, they believe that children are vaccinated sociopathy their parents, albeit unintentionally. Such parents can regularly support the manifestation of aggression in their child, even if unconsciously. For example, when the baby starts to show aggression, misbehave, parents often give way your child to keep him quiet, and peaceful relations were restored. Stubbornness and cruelty are often inculcated in this way, too, and not intentionally.

Supporters cognitive theory   It believes that the citizens suffering from antisocial personality disorder often do not realize the importance of the needs and interests of other people. And to understand the point of view that differs substantially from the beliefs themselves sociopaths given to individuals not under force.

Thanks to conduct research can make the assumption that biological factors also occur in the brain disorder. As a rule, virtually experiencing sociopaths anxiety And for the full training process they just may lack any vital element. This fact is an indirect cause of the fact that people with this type of personality disorder can not make useful conclusions even from our own mistakes, for this reason they do not capture the reaction of others and their emotions. To overcome these problems being treated dissocial personality disorder.

Empirically, it has been proved that people with a personality disorder are not able to perform the lab exercises, find a way out of a difficult situation or a labyrinth, if the key stimulation they are not threatened corporal punishment or substantial fines. Only when experimentalists assigned a significant punishment for disobedience, the subjects were trained better. But by themselves, patients who have committed crimes, do not think about the possible consequences and the inevitable punishment.

Some psychiatrists have suggested that individuals in these various types of adverse events is simply not so strong to cause trouble, like ordinary people. According to the experience of researchers in biology subjects often react to stress or waiting for strong warnings rather low level of excitation of the brain, and the autonomic nervous system is excited rather slowly. Therefore sociopaths quite difficult to catch the emotional or threatening situations, and as a result, the fear of the troubles they have almost not expressed.

Scientists admit that the little physiological arousal often makes people with dissocial personality disorder to seek adventure or to take risks. Antisocial actions attract them because they are able to increase the jitters and get pleasure from their own search of thrills.

Diagnosis of dissocial personality disorder

Antisocial personality disorder when the patient tries to draw attention to themselves by gross mismatch between their own behavior and social norms takes place in the following cases:

• patient differs pronounced tendency to constantly something to blame the people around them, or to put forward a variety of plausible explanations, their own behavior, this could lead to a serious conflict of the individual with society.

Remember, that constant irritability   It is a further sign of dissocial personality disorder. But violation of universally accepted principles of behavior is not always manifested in childhood and adolescence, although it occurs in a large number of patients. It should be noted that for this personality disorder is desirable to take into account the ratio of modern cultural norms in relation to the regional social conditions to clearly define responsibilities and the patient ignored the rules.

Treatment of dissocial personality disorder

At this stage of treatment are subject to only a third of patients with dissocial personality disorder, but effective treatment techniques have not yet been developed. A significant proportion of patients treated forcing educational institutions, their employers or the police, or those patients themselves come to the attention of psychotherapists to tie with any other mental or psychological disorders.

Often therapists cognitive-behavioral direction   tend to make patients suffering this disease, to think about morality and feelings experienced by other people.
