ABSTRACT

As mental health resources dwindle, efficient use of available services becomes an economic and ethical necessity. Integral to the efficient use of resources are screening, assessment, and treatment planning (Maruish, 2004; Mortimer & Smith, 1983; Weiner, 2004). Treatment planning is especially critical in correctional settings where change resistant Antisocial Personality Disordered (ASPD) individuals comprise a disproportionate percent of the population. ASPDs are not homogeneous; some are treatable, and some are not. Psychological assessment is invaluable when evaluating the treatment amenability within this population (Gacono, 1998).
