  2. IntroductionPersonality and Personality Disorder • Personality • predictable, stable characteristics • unique behavioral tendencies from one’s daily life • indicates who a person is • Criteria of Personality Disorder • Inadaptability to society with fixed habitual actions • Thinking mechanism and/or • Excessive use of coping mechanism that cannot satisfy one’s needs • Paranoid vs. Histrionic vs. Avoidant types.

  3. Antisocial Personality Disorder • Histrionic type personality disorder • Avoidance, Irrationality, and Immorality • Emotional immaturity and lack of responsibility • Do not observe the social rules • Cannot process learning from experiences • Extreme self-centeredness • Lack or absence of ability to form emotional connections with members in society

  4. Approach 1.Freud’s Psychodynamic Theory • Unconsicous plays a more prominent role in mental health • Personality: Id + Ego + Superego • Superego Theory: Ego-Ideal and Conscience

  5. Approach 2.Bandura’s Social Learning Theory • Personality: Environmental + Cognitive factors • “Reciptrocal Determinants”

  6. ResultsPrevalence • 3% in male and 1% in female populations (men are 4-7% more prone to experience ASPD than women) • About 1% of the population suffers from ASPD *Constantly Rising phenomenon

  7. ResultsFreud’s Theory • Characterisics in ASPD • Strong Ids and Weakened Superego • Too little contribution of the Superego toward their mental functioning • Excess defense mechanism  isolation • Possible Cause • Childhood experience • “Unconscious” : Accumulation of impulses • Potential Treatment • Free association • Dream anlaysis

  8. ResultsBandura’s Theory • Characterisics in ASPD • Lack of ability to self-regulate • Decreased ability in predicting consequences of their behaviour • Possible Cause • Negative family environments • Result of inappropriate modeling • Inappropriate learning process developed in childhood • Potential Treatment • Inner personal regulation (self-reguation, -judgement, etc) • Through reinforcement and modeling

  9. ConclusionEnvironmental AND Biological … ? • The causes of personality disorders, including ASPD, are difficult to clearly describe. • Disorders are ambiguous in their definitions and symptoms • Neither of the two approaches discussed can fully address all factors to the development of ASPD **Further research question: Importance of biological or genetic factors in ASPD prevalence.
