Re: Treatment modalities with Anti-social Personality Disorder

I am very interested in this population as you can see by my many messages on this forum. I work with offenders in prison so the work I do may not translate as well to an outpatient group. However, the Wisconsin Department of Corrections has developed a cognitive restructuring program which is designed to help offenders take more responsibility for their behaviors. I wrote about this approach in the AABT "the Behavior Therapist" Volume 21, No.5, May 1998 and can send you a copy if you are interested.

For more involved personality disordered individuals, I have modified Jeff Young's schema-focused therapy and have also used Chuck Elliot's schema polarities model. Books like Layden, Newman, Freeman and Morse "Cognitive Therapy of Borderline Personality Disorders" are excellant but do not address the schema compensation process so easy to see with antisocials. Beck's new book on "Prisoners of Hate" does a good job in identifying the dichotomous thinking of the antisocial and the importance of the meaning the antisocial gives each event.

I wrote a workbook for offenders and a program for offenders who were abused as children which can also be used for overall personality disordered individual which I would be happy to send to you.
