Psychopathology: Type or trait?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 18 (3):555-556 (1995)
Abstract
Mealey proposes two categorical classes of sociopath, primary and secondary. I criticize this distinction on the basis that constructs of this kind have proved unrealistic in personality taxonomy and that dimensional systems capture reality much more successfully. I suggest how such a system could work in this particular contextMy notes
