The point of this article, and one I mention in another comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14359033 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14359033), is that some of the behavior associated with antisocial personality disorder appear to manifest much earlier than puberty. In that case, they use the diagnoses of callous and unemotional traits.
- mtdewcmu 9y agoThe really broad, overarching point of the article is that a treatment facility was getting good results in children previously considered hopeless. The novel technique is using positive, rather than negative, reinforcement. It seems kind of ironic that the one technique nobody thought to try was being positive.
