Abstract

This article examines the evidence regarding the presence of a subgroup of antisocial and potentially psychopathic batterers, and encourages clinicians to routinely assess for these traits. Antisocial/ psychopathic characteristics are potentially problematic in the ongoing evaluation of risk and demand special attention in cases of domestic violence.1 Furthermore, there are a number of treatment implications because of the characterlogical deficits associated with this group. Suggestions are provided for improving treatment effectiveness and risk management with these batterers.
