The treatment of Antisocial Personality
Disorder (ASPD) is challenging due to the nature of the disorder and
the resistance many individuals with ASPD have towards seeking help. Treatment
typically involves a combination of psychotherapy and, in some cases,
medication.
Psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy
(CBT), is often used to address problematic behaviour’s, thoughts, and emotions
associated with ASPD. CBT can help individuals with ASPD recognize and change
negative thought patterns and develop more adaptive coping strategies for
managing impulsivity and anger.
another effective approach is dialectical behaviour
therapy (DBT), which focuses on improving emotion regulation, interpersonal
effectiveness, and distress tolerance skills. DBT can help individuals with
ASPD develop healthier ways of interacting with others and managing their
emotions.
However, it's important to note that individuals with
ASPD may have difficulty engaging in therapy due to their lack of insight into
their behaviour’s and their tendency to manipulate or deceive others. In some
cases, mandated therapy through the criminal justice system may be necessary.
Medication is not typically used as a primary treatment
for ASPD but may be prescribed to target specific symptoms such as impulsivity,
aggression, or mood instability, particularly if co-occurring mental health
conditions are present.
