“…Also, in females, impulsivity and conduct disorder were characterized by running away, self-harming behavior, manipulation, and complicity in committing crimes (essentially theft and fraud), whereas in males it was more likely to characterized by violent behaviors. This is consistent with the empirical literature (Lanctôt & Leblanc, 2002;Lipman, Bennett, Racine, Mazumdar, & Offord, 1998;Salekin, Rogers, & Machin, 2001).…”

Despite the growing number of studies on psychopathy in females, the core characteristics of this personality disorder among females remain uninvestigated. Most studies on psychopathy in females have attempted to understand the disorder by applying male criteria to adult females: they have ignored putative gender differences in the constitution and expression of this disorder. Several issues require resolution: first, whether practitioners apply the same criteria to diagnose psychopathy in women, second, whether the instruments used to assess psychopathy are tapping the same construct across gender, third, whether the same types of behavioral expression of key traits are similar across genders, and fourth, whether the diagnosis possesses the same forensic utility across genders. The relevant literature is reviewed and issues of design and analysis are considered.

“…As described, young children with disruptive behaviour are at risk for a poor outcome. Nevertheless, many children show substantial variability in symptoms over time or desist completely from such externalizing problem behaviours (Lahey et al, 1995;Lipman, Bennett, Racine, Muzumdar, & Offord, 1998;Loeber, 1991;. Focusing on clinical disorders in the Ontario Child Health Study (OHCS), which started in 1983 by collecting information on a province-wide community sample in Canada of more than 3,000 children below 12 years of age, Offord and colleagues (1992) reported that 44% of children diagnosed with CD showed persistent signs of CD at the 4-year follow-up.…”

Clinical practice with the heterogeneous group of children that present with conduct problems may benefit from improved formats for diagnostic subtyping. We investigated whether high levels of callous-unemotional traits (i.e. lack of empathy, remorselessness and shallow affects) would differentiate clinic-referred conduct-problem boys from those low on such traits. A consecutive series of 41 boys with conduct problems (6-13 years, mean age=9.60 years) referred to public child psychiatric units in Sweden were studied with data elicited from caregivers. Conduct-problem boys with many callous-unemotional traits had significantly more pervasive, varied and aggressive disruptive behavioural problems than boys low on these traits had. Higher levels of conduct problems in subjects with callous-unemotional traits were not explained by confounding presence of DSM-IV attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and oppositional defiant disorder/conduct disorder symptoms. Boys with callous-unemotional traits also experienced poorer household circumstances and lived in families under high stress. Interestingly, they less often received help in school from special teachers but were more often diagnosed with dysthymia than boys low on callous-unemotional traits. We conclude that callous-unemotional traits might designate a subgroup of boys with different aetiology to their conduct problems and possibly with specific treatment needs. However, the findings need to be replicated with larger samples.

“…A large epidemiologic study of 15-year-olds (n = 1,000) reported that 7.5% to 9.5% of the girls met the DSM-III-R (APA, 1987) criteria for conduct disorders, compared to 8.6% to 12.2% of the boys (Fergusson, Horwood, & Lynskey, 1993). The outcome is reported to be better for boys than for girls with conduct problems (Lipman, Bennett, Racine, Mazumdar, & Offord, 1998). After reviewing the data of a large epidemiologic study, L. N. Robins (1996) determined the following gender distinctions: (a) Boys were younger than girls at first conduct symptoms predictive of adult antisocial behavior, (b) early sexual activity was more predictive of psychopathy for girls than boys, and (c) psychopathy and ASPD in women required a more pathological family background.…”

Antisocial and psychopathic personality disorders can be linked to a number of biochemical abnormalities (e.g., serotonin, monoamine oxidase, and hormone dysfunctions), genetic and environmental influences, and psychological and social manifestations. Children with conduct disorders, with or without attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, have an elevated risk for antisocial or psychopathic personality disorders in adolescence and adulthood. The presence of comorbid disorders such as substance abuse and schizophrenia have a strong negative predictive value with respect to the course, the prognosis, and the outcome of antisocial and psychopathic disorders. Furthermore, there are substantial gender differences. The rates for spontaneous remission and improvement of antisocial and psychopathic personality disorders are possibly relatively high. In fact, these rates are higher for women than for men. In the fourth decade of life, most of the antisocial and psychopathic personalities are in remission.

What Does Early Antisocial Behaviour Predict? A Follow-up of 4- and 5-Year-Olds from the Ontario Child Health Study

Abstract: The predictive accuracy of antisocial behaviour in 4-and 5-years-old children over 4 years in a nonclinical community population is limited. The clinical, research, and policy implications of this work are discussed.
