Causes
Home environment (45%):
Parental parenting is not only related to the parents' own culture, economic situation, etc., but also to the other party's situation, such as whether the spouse is healthy or not. This further confirms that the family micro-environment complexly and subtly affects the behavior of members. In a benign family environment, the parental positive parenting style is undoubtedly more prominent for the very modest minors.
Genetics (20%):
Personality disorders have been found to be associated with polymorphisms or gene mutations in certain genes. Polygenic genetic diseases are caused by the combination of genetic factors and environmental factors. Among them, the magnitude of the effect of genetic factors can be measured by heritability.
Pathogenesis
The personality characteristics of anti-social personality disorder people are obviously deviated from normal, and they usually have abnormal behavior patterns in personal life style and interpersonal relationship. Often in childhood or in adolescence (before the age of 18), there is a problem of conduct and long-term development to adulthood or life. In recent years, the genetic factors of antisocial personality disorder have received increasing attention in criminological research. However, human behavior change is not caused by a single genetic variation. Paying attention to environmental factors, especially the family environment in which individuals grow up early, is particularly positive for the prevention and treatment of anti-social personality disorder.

The diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder is not difficult, and the 12 diagnostic criteria (Cleckley, 1964; Rimmer, 1980; Hare, 1980; DSM-III-R, 1980) are too many items to grasp. The generalization of Mccord et al. (1956) is relatively simple. He pointed out that such people are characterized by poor legal concepts, behavior driven by primitive desires, highly impulsive and aggressive, rarely ashamed, and emotionally distorted. . Ziskind (1982) proposed five diagnostic criteria and five exclusionary indicators for social morbidity. The five required criteria are impulsive, irresponsible, superficial, and incapable of benefiting from prior experience or punishment and conscience; exclusion criteria include five diseases, mental retardation, organic brain syndrome, or brain damage. , schizophrenia, affective psychosis and neurosis. This diagnosis is easy to grasp, but needs further testing. Mainly for imaging examination to exclude organ functional diseases, such as brain frontal disease (such as brain trauma, encephalitis, etc.).
Diagnosis
Diagnostic identification of antisocial personality disorder
Personality disorders generally begin in the early years, and such deviating normal personality, once formed, is constant and not easily changeable. Their intelligence is not low, but some aspects of personality are very prominent and excessively developed, and everyone lacks correct judgments about their personality defects. If you have the above characteristics and can rule out personality changes caused by organic diseases and mental illness, it is not difficult to determine personality disorder.
