| Summary: |
The theoretical perspective of psychopathy in minors is
addressed from a review of reference documents and
scientifi c articles. It begins by examining both personality
traits and psychopathic features and their repercussion
on young persons, always through a qualitative analysis
of the diff erent scientifi c texts where the most infl uential
psychobiological models in the study of both characteristics
are developed. Subsequently, the challenges posed
by this fi eld in the area of research are listed, along
with the problems encountered at the time of defi ning
psychopathy and sociopathy and the typical conducts in
childhood and adolescence that might help predict the
development of a psychopathy or a sociopathy, as well
as the identifi cation of risk and protection factors relating
with this type of individuals. In addition, a brief review is
included regarding the current situation of intervention
programs with juveniles showing psychopathic traits,
and it concludes by explaining the main objectives that
any program of this nature must envisage at the time of
dealing with this phenomenon. |
