Description
Personality disorder/psychopathy has long troubled philosophers, lawyers and mental health practitioners. This text tackles the interface of applied philosophy and psychiatry at a time when government and clinicians are giving careful consideration afresh to new forms of treatment and disposal of people with psychopathic disorder. The book brings together contributions from lawyers, philosophers, psychiatrists and clinical managers to explore the inter-related conceptual and political implications of psychopathy.
