Abstract
It has been argued that among the homeless many of the features of antisocial personality may be artifacts of homelessness and that strict application of the diagnostic criteria may be insensitive to social and cultural factors in this group. The authors studied a large group of homeless men and women to investigate the appropriateness of the diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder among the homeless.Keywords
