Description
The economic impact of society's attempts to rehabilitate and contain psychopathically disordered individuals can be enormous.
Understanding the nature of these disorders, developing accurate and valid assessment methods, and providing effective treatment and safe management cannot be underestimated. Reflecting the work of an international panel of experts, this book offers an in-depth and multidisciplinary look at key aspects of the development and etiology of psychopathic disorders, current methods of intervention, treatment and management, and how these disorders impact decision making in civil and criminal law.
