Psychopaths: Technical Difficulties
Technical arguments — arguments about the technical details — arise between experts, no matter what their subject of expertise. A bubbling, perhaps seething new controversy concerns the fine points of psychopaths. For the latest expert salvo, see a new study written by a team at Christian Albrechts University Kiel:
“The relationship between DSM-IV cluster B personality disorders and psychopathy according to Hare’s criteria: clarification and resolution of previous contradictions,” Christian Huchzermeier, Friedemann Geiger, Emelie Bru?, Nils Godt, Denis K?hler, G?nter Hinrichs, Josef B. Aldenhoff, Behavioral Sciences and the Law, vol. 25, no. 6, November/December 2007, pp. 901-11.
