ABSTRACT
In studies assessing the relationship between substance abuse and psychopathy, psychopathy is defined by a variety of methods, including the DSM measures of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD; Alterman, Rutherford, Cacciola, McKay, & Boardman, 1997; Cottler, Price, Comptom, & Mager, 1995; Neufeld et al., 2008), the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI; Dush & Keen, 1995; Rogers & Bagby, 1994), the Psychopathic Personality Inventory—Revised (PPI-R; Lilienfeld & Widows, 2005; Sylvers, Landfield, & Lilienfeld, 2011), and others (Poythress & Hall, 2011). These studies do not necessarily include truly psychopathic individuals, however, as measures of psychopathy such as the MMPI, although typically having strong correlations with antisocial behaviors, generally have weak correlations with the personality traits associated with psychopathy (see Chapter 3).
