Abstract
In an effort to test psychopaths' affect in an interpersonal relationship, approximately 300 hr. of psychotherapy were conducted with 12 empirically defined psychopaths who were incarcerated in a federal reformatory. Highly significant correlations were obtained among all measures of psychopathy. Degree of psychopathy and degree of affect expression were not significantly related, but there was a moderate negative correlation in every comparison.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
