Introducing to ASPD: psychopathy vs sociopathy

This four-week university-level course examines Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) through clinical diagnosis, personality assessment, developmental pathways, neuropsychology, neurobiology, aggression, and treatment. It sharply contrasts psychopathy and sociopathy while emphasizing that neither is a standalone DSM-5-TR diagnosis and that the “born versus made” distinction is a useful historical heuristic rather than a complete scientific model.
