abstract="&quot;Psychopathy&quot; describes a type of personality disorder characterized by a dysregulation of emotion processing. Social behaviour, emotion regulation and competency are of particular relevance in forensic psychiatry. Structural-morphological and functional imaging studies prove that emotion regulation, aggressive-impulsive behaviour and learning from negative experiences are greatly influenced by frontal brain regions. These abilities are impaired in severe cases of dissocial personality disorders and in traumatic &quot;pseudopsychopathy&quot;. We illustrate the importance functional neurobiological changes in patients personality disorders and &quot;acquired psychopathy&quot; by two case reports on patients who were admitted to a forensic-psychiatric facility for sexual crimes.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
