Description

There is great interest in the phenomenon of psychopathy among both scientists and the general public. Strangely enough, hardly any research has been done into maturation and healing processes in this group of patients. Psychopaths were often considered untreatable and incurable and remission in this category of patients is considered as a rare phenomenon. In fact that was also my own experience. That is why it is all the more interesting to investigate which factors play a role in such a rare recovery process in psychopaths. For many years I have been involved in the treatment and research into determinants of psychopathy in forensic psychiatric clinics. In doing so, I have come across some remarkable cases of healing. In this study case of five categories of recovered psychopaths are presented and an analysis was conducted into the determinants of remission of these psychopaths.
