TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Clinical Implications for the Assessment and Treatment of Antisocial and Psychopathic Domestic Violence Perpetrators JO - Journal of aggression, maltreatment and trauma A1 - Langhinrichsen-Rohling, Jennifer A1 - Covell, Christmas N. A1 - Huss, Matthew T. SP - 59 EP - 85 VL - 13 IS - 1 N2 - 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.
