| Sumario: | The antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) was the first personality disorder studied and described by mental health professionals. Some of its clinical characteristics are lying, manipulating, showing narcissistic features (1) and an antisocial behavior, that is, showing disregard for the rights of others, and for social regulations, and displaying aggressive and destructive behavior. According to data obtained by the National Survey of psychiatric Epidemiology, in Mexico, the dissocial disorder is present in about 10.3 per cent of male population and in 2.3 percent of female population. This pathology appears during adolescence and if not treated in an appropriate and expedient way, it is considered to be a precedent of the antisocial personality disorder (2). This paper addresses the etiology, including biological, psychological, neuropsychological and sociocultural factors that intervene in the etiology and development of the antisocial personality disorder. The DSM-V (2013) diagnostic criteria of the American Psychiatric Association and the ICD diagnostic criteria of the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization are included in this paper. In addition to this, a description of the clinical characteristics from a psychodynamic perspective is provided. Treatment of the antisocial personality disorder includes pharmacological and social treatment, as well as psychotherapy, particularly expressive and supportive psychotherapy. |
