精神病患者的暴力行为可能令人震惊,无论是他们参与暴力的频率还是他们的暴力行为的无端程度。事实上,精神病临床概念的一个主要用途是预测刑事罪犯未来的暴力行为。攻击性是一个复杂的概念,它与精神变态在许多层面上相交。本章回顾了精神病作为一种临床构思,包括最突出的认知和神经生物学模型,这些模型解释了其病理生理学。然后,我们描述精神变态所涉及的大脑异常如何导致不同的行为结果,其中可能包括多种形式的攻击。
Psychopaths can be alarmingly violent, both in the frequency with which they engage in violence and the gratuitous extent of their violent acts. Indeed, one principal utility of the clinical construct of psychopathy is in predicting future violent behavior in criminal offenders. Aggression is a complex construct that intersects psychopathy at many levels. This chapter provides a review of psychopathy as a clinical construct including the most prominent cognitive and neurobiological models, which serve to account for its pathophysiology. We then describe how the brain abnormalities implicated in psychopathy may lead to diverse behavioral outcomes, which can include aggression in its many forms.
