title: Sociopathy: forever forensic?
abstract: We suggest that the criteria for antisocial personality disorder, or "sociopathy", in the Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (4th edition) are deficient in that they define "failed sociopathy", and fail to include an equally valid group of individuals who, although seen by society as successful, display core features of the antisocial personality disorder.
