Some experts have questioned whether people who display such antisocial patterns are in fact exhibiting a psychological disorder. Their behaviors may be extremely undesirable, even criminal in certain cases. But are they disordered?
Do you think that the behavior of such people reflects a form of psychological disorder? Or do you feel this behavior is better conceptualized as criminal or obnoxious?
As a therapist, do you think you would find it difficult to work with clients who display antisocial personality disorder? What about the disorder would you find most difficult?
How difficult would it be for you to set aside your distaste (or even repulsion) regarding the behavior of your antisocial clients?
