"Calculating, manipulative, possibly
violent yet also frequently charming and alluring, the person with
antisocial personality disorder presents a unique clinical challenge:
even the most seasoned clinician may not make the diagnosis until the
patient has conned even the psychiatrist. Treatment is possible—in some patients,
under some conditions—but even then the clinician should approach the
encounter with only guarded optimism and a sober sense of what is
achievable, said Glen O. Gabbard, M.D., at APA’s 2003 Institute on
Psychiatric Services in Boston."
