Abstract
This paper first summarizes the definition of antisocial personality disorder (APD), and then explains the influence of antisocial personality on the patients themselves and the society as well as the etiological diagnosis and treatment methods. Finally, some suggestions for future research and intervention are given. The etiology and influence of antisocial personality disorder are first introduced. The present study found that various factors such as childhood experiences and structural brain abnormalities, could contribute to symptoms of antisocial personality disorder (APD). Secondly, the diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder is introduced, which is based on the common scale test and the patient's actual symptoms and life experiences. Then it introduces the common treatment methods of antisocial personality disorder from the perspective of neurology and psychology. Finally, some suggestions are put forward to provide directions for future research. To sum up, through a systematic review of the previous literatures and analyzing, this paper aims to increase the understanding of APD and provide evidence-based recommendations for optimizing the treatment and intervention of APD.
