Описание: This video describes the differences between Antisocial Personality Disorder and Narcissistic Personality Disorder. These disorders have a few features in common including dismissiveness, being strong-willed, and lack of empathy. Symptoms associated with Antisocial Personality Disorder but not with Narcissistic Personality Disorder include impulsivity and aggression. Symptoms associated with Narcissistic Personality Disorder but not with Antisocial Personality Disorder include the relationship with Conduct Disorder, the type of criminality, and the need for excessive admiration.
Antisocial Personality Disorder is characterized by repeated acts that violate the norms of society, deceitfulness, impulsivity, irritability, verbal and physical aggression, reckless disregard for the safety of others, irresponsibility, lack of remorse, and lack of empathy. The characteristics typically associated with Antisocial Personality Disorder in prison settings are superficial charm, lack of empathy, inflated self-appraisal. The etiology of Antisocial Personality Disorder is genetic and environmental. Trauma appears to contributed to the development of Antisocial Personality Disorder. The prevalence of Antisocial Personality Disorder is about 3% of males and 1% of females. About 70% - 80% of males in prison may have Antisocial Personality Disorder. Sociopathy and psychopathy are sets of characteristics that represent distinct patterns of behavior and etiology, but are still under the Antisocial Personality Disorder classification. Generally, a person suffering from sociopathy is thought to have developed the disorder as a result of a stressor, such as trauma. Genetics are thought to be responsible for psychopathy. Both are associated with criminal activity, however, sociopathy is associated with impulsive criminal acts whereas psychopathy is associated with planned crimes. Meaningful relationships are difficult to form with psychopathy, but slightly easier to form with sociopathy. Sociopathy is associated with mood dysphoria and dysregulation, whereas psychopathy is associated with remaining more emotionally stable. Psychopathy is associated with being cold and calculating, and considering the consequences of behavior more carefully than in sociopathy.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by a grandiose sense of self-importance, a preoccupation with unlimited success, feeling too special to be understood by regular people, needing excessive admiration, a sense of entitlement, being interpersonally exploitative, having a lack of empathy, being envious and others and believe others are envious of them, and being arrogant. Oftentimes an individual with Narcissistic Personality Disorder wants to be recognized as superior, believes they are so complex and amazing that they can only be understood by special people, has low self-esteem, devalues the contributions of others, and is condescending. Criticism is not well received by most people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Comorbid disorders include other personality disorders (e.g. Antisocial Personality Disorder), Anorexia Nervosa, and substance use disorders (especially cocaine use disorder). The prevalence of Narcissistic Personality Disorder is about 1%. Common goals in mental health treatment of Narcissistic Personality Disorder include adjusting behavior to improve relationships, developing skills resolve employment and career issues, and increasing insight. Clinically significant distress is required for a diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder as stated in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM).
