Abstract

A perennial debate regarding drug dependence is the issue of the contribution of psychopathic personality disorder to dependence behaviour. The research reported here suggests that the effects of treatment appear to have little effect on underlying psychopathy. However, levels of psychopathy seem irrelevant to treatment outcome.
