title: Is psychopathic disorder a treatable condition?
abstract: This article extends upon material presented in a previous issue of this journal (Med. Sci. Law, 1990, 30, 39-44). Three groups of respondents were asked to comment upon the degree to which they considered psychopathic disorder to be a treatable condition. The modest findings suggest that although few clear cut views exist as to the best treatment modality there are firmer indications as to those thought to be unhelpful.
