“…Given these adverse effects and the difficulty in treating ASPD and its co-occurring antisocial outcomes once they are established (Reid and Thorne, 2006), there has been a growing consensus among social scientists and policy makers that early preventive interventions targeting the antecedents of antisocial behavior are preferable to treatment approaches (Bennett et al, 1998, Bennett et al, 1999Mrazek and Haggerty, 1994;Offord and Bennett, 1997;Reiss and Price, 1996). In light of this strong evidence regarding the continuity between childhood and adult antisocial behavior, this preventive approach is especially pertinent (Farrington, 1995;Robins, 1966).…”

Three trajectories of aggressive, disruptive behavior were identified. By young adulthood, GBG significantly reduced the rates of ASPD and violent and criminal behavior among males in the persistent high aggressive, disruptive trajectory. REPLICATION: A replication was implemented with the following cohort of first-grade children using the same teachers, but with diminished mentoring and monitoring. Beneficial impact was found among persistent high males through seventh grade. By young adulthood GBG effects on ASPD and violent and criminal behavior were non-significant, but generally in the hypothesized direction.

“…Although antisocial disorders are notoriously difficult to treat (Reid & Thorne, 2006), clinicians should pay special attention to antisocial behavioral patterns that have the potential to interfere with the ability of some clients to abide by the rules and regulations of structured residential settings. Though it would be unwise to expect substantial changes in personality structure as a result of residential treatment for homeless individuals, unaddressed antisocial behavioral patterns could leave clients vulnerable to continued rule violations and early discharge from needed services.…”

Residential programs can improve the lives of homeless individuals, but many participants leave prematurely. Certain characteristics evident upon admission may help to identify those at greatest risk of early discharge. The records of 197 unique admissions to a homeless veterans program were reviewed. Subjects completed a psychosocial assessment, a diagnostic interview, and depression and alcohol use severity screenings. Alcohol use severity, days of abstinence, and an antisocial behavior disorder were significant independent predictors of type of discharge. The overall model accounted for 14.5% of the variance in type of discharge. Targeted interventions may be needed to help veterans at risk of premature discharge to remain engaged in treatment and to assist them in the transition back to the community.

Treatment Guidelines for Clients with Antisocial Personality Disorder

The purpose of this article is to present treatment guidelines for mental health counselors who work with clients diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) or characterized as psychopathic. The guidelines use the criteria of both treatment efficacy and clinical utility as recommended by an APA taskforce on treatment guidelines (American Psychological Association, 2002). A review of the literature revealed that psychosocial interventions lack both treatment efficacy and clinical utility in remediating the core characteristics of antisociality or reducing criminal recidivism. However, a strong case can be made for a guideline in which substance abuse treatment is recommended for ASPD clients with comorbid substance use disorders. Not only have such interventions been shown to possess adequate treatment efficacy, but there is additional evidence that such interventions are cost-effective and feasible for real-world, clinical settings (= clinical utility).
