TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - Treating criminal psychopaths in a therapeutic community program JO - Behavioral sciences and the law A1 - Ogloff, James R. P. A1 - Wong, Stephen A1 - Greenwood, Anthony SP - 181 EP - 190 VL - 8 IS - 2 N2 - A Therapeutic Community (TC) treatment program for adult male offenders is summarized and treatment outcome data are discussed. Psychopaths showed less clinical improvement, displayed lower levels of motivation and were discharged from the program earlier than non-psychopaths. There were significant positive treatment effects for the non-psychopaths and a mixed group. Psychopathy Checklist scores (Hare, 1985) consistently postdict and predict treatment outcome and attrition from the program.
