Abstract

GONCALVES, Rui Abrunhosa. Promover a mudança em personalidades anti-sociais: Punir, tratar e controlar. Aná. Psicológica [online]. 2007, vol.25, n.4, pp.571-583. ISSN 0870-8231.

In this paper the author analyses the various issues regarding the treatment and intervention on antisocial personalities and psychopaths, emphasizing those related with methodological problems, which were responsible for many failures compromising future implementations. Several suggestions are made, not only to overcome the obstacles found but also promoting the debate between a more consensual approach on offenders’ treatment versus a more coercive one. Finally, based on risk assessment and suitability for treatment, a model of intervention is outlined, considering three dimensions: punishing, treating and controlling.

Keywords : Intervention; offenders; controlling; treating; antisocial personality punishing; psychopaths.
