Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is a mental health condition characterized by a long-standing pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others. People with the disorder often show deceitfulness, impulsivity, irritability, reckless disregard for safety, and a marked lack of remorse, with features typically emerging in adolescence and continuing into adulthood. Diagnosis relies on clinical assessment of behavioral history and current functioning, and management generally centers on structured psychological approaches, since no single medication treats the disorder itself. Understanding ASPD requires attention to the interplay of developmental, neurological, social, and environmental factors that shape behavior over the life course. Research in this area examines how early behavioral deviations may be assessed and tracked, including the use of neuroimaging and standardized psychological evaluation in children and youth to characterize behavioral patterns. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to Behavior Therapy And Mental Health, supporting clinicians, researchers, and readers seeking an evidence-based view of antisocial behavior, its assessment, and the broader behavioral and neurological mechanisms that inform treatment and care.
