In reply to the discussion: Have you ever encountered a sociopath? [View all]kerry-is-my-prez
(10,200 posts)43. They have changed it to Antisocial Personality Disorder w/psychopathic features
So now theyre back to using the term psychopathology. They thought the term sociopath was too mean. Clinicians are now either ignoring the DSM 5 TR and using other criteria to account for psychopathology or they added some section to the DSM V TR - Im not sure which. I started in the field when they used the DSM ii and they were using the DSM IV when I was in grad school. Then, in the middle of when I was in the field, they came up with the DSM V. Currently theyre using the DSM-5TR. its enough to make your head spin to keep up with it. And they used to charge outrageous fees to get the manuals. Now I see reduced prices.

Yes, my first boss. Those in his field of expertise who didn't work for him found him engaging and charming.
