Assessment of Juvenile Psychopathic Traits

Assessment of Juvenile Psychopathic Traits

Introduction

The term “Psychopathic traits in juveniles” is also commonly represented by the terms Antisocial Personality Features or Conduct Disorder. In accordance with the current DSM, the mental condition of a juvenile is assessed with the help of a conduct disorder. On the other hand, the term used for the assessment of conduct for adults is termed as Antisocial Personality Disorder. However, at whatever age, either label is never desired. That is due to the long lasting stigma as a consequence of mental disorder for juveniles in particular.
