T67: Antisocial Personality Disorder and Co-occurring Substance-related Disorders
Sam K. Gully, III, MS
1.5 hours Focus: Clinical Integrated Interventions
Description:
This workshop describes some of the clinical modifiers a practitioner needs to use to engage the person with
Antisocial Personality Disorder. It also examines why this form of character pathology is very heavily marked
by Substance/Dependence. Recovery is very different with this combination of diagnoses. In this particular set
of co-occurring disorders, progress in treating one of the disorders rarely leads to progress in the other – an
integrated, specialized approach is needed.
Educational Objectives: Participants will be able to:
• Summarize the DSM-IV (TR) criteria for this Disorder;
• Examine Conduct Disorder and its onset as a prerequisite for Adult ASP;
• List possible neurological and developmental deficits and their implications for treatment;
• Explain how the lack of attachments can lead to even deeper psychopathology;
• Discuss newer treatment options.
