CAUSES AND TREATMENT OF APSD IN JUVENILES 2
The DSM-5 defines individuals with antisocial personality disorder as, those who
engage in repetitive irresponsible, delinquent and criminal behavior. It is a highly
controversial diagnosis. Clinicians and researchers argue that it is too heterogeneous,
over inclusive and demonstrates a considerable overlap with other disorders. Of the
general population, two – three percent have the antisocial personality disorder diagnosis,
with three percent of them being men and one percent being female. However, this
diagnosis is much higher in those who are incarcerated. Of those who are incarcerated,
47% of men and 21% of females are diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder.
Repeated behaviors include, performing acts that are grounds for arrest, lying, fighting or
assaulting, disregard for safety of oneself and others, failure to sustain consistent work
behavior and the mistreatment of other individuals. There are genetic and environmental
components to antisocial personality disorder, which will be discussed later. Genetics
contribute to half of the variance to antisocial behavior, while the environment also plays
a big role. Abnormalities in the brain of patients with antisocial personality disorder have
also been examined with damage in the amygdala and prefrontal cortex playing a role in
the development of antisocial personality disorder (Glenn, Johnson & Raine, 2013).
Deformities in the amygdala may be responsible for antisocial personality
disorder. Lesions and inactivation studies have established that the amygdala is essential
for the perception of fear. It is also essential for the expression of fearful behavior and
acquisitions of fear in response to stimuli that had been paired with aversive outcomes
(Morrison & Salzman, 2010). Although it is generally understood that the amygdala is
associated with fear and negative emotions, new research shows that the amygdala is
CAUSES AND TREATMENT OF APSD IN JUVENILES 3 associated with the processing of positive emotions and stimulus reward learning (Baxter
& Murray, 2002).
The prefrontal cortex is also associated with antisocial personality disorder. When
developed, the prefrontal cortex receives information from all other cortical regions and
functions in order to plan and direct motor, cognitive, affective and social behavior across
time. The prefrontal cortex develops longer than other sections of the brain. Development
might differ when a person is exposed to different environmental stimuli (stress, drugs,
hormones, social situations) (Kolb, Mychasiuk, Muhammad, Li, Frost & Gibb, 2012).
This literature review will examine the causes and treatments of antisocial
personality disorder in juvenile delinquents. The first section will discuss the
psychosocial and behavioral causes of antisocial personality disorder. The second section
will examine how the amygdala and its subregional networks and subneuclei as well as
the presence of gray matter are associated with antisocial behavior in juvenile delinquents
and will examine the structures in the prefrontal cortex and how they differ in juvenile
offenders from non-offenders, the presence of gray matter in the prefrontal cortex. The
last section will examine the use of medication and behavioral rehabilitation to treat
children with antisocial personality disorder.
Psychosocial, Behavioral and Environmental Contributions
Antisocial personality disorder has many possible causes. In this section two types
of causes will be discussed; the psychosocial/behavioral causes and the environmental
causes. Psychosocial and behavioral causes of antisocial personality disorder include the
correlation of serotonergic functioning and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
(ADHD), as well as interpersonal callousness. The causes that have been examined the
CAUSES AND TREATMENT OF APSD IN JUVENILES 4 most are the environmental causes of antisocial personality disorder. Environmental
causes of antisocial personality disorder include, abuse and neglect in childhood, parental
history of alcoholism, mental illness and delinquent behavior.
This section will examine the psychosocial and behavioral causes of antisocial
personality disorder in regards to how serotonergic levels are correlated with ADHD
which leads to antisocial personality disorder and how interpersonal callousness can lead
to chronic conduct problems, including antisocial personality disorder. The first
psychosocial/behavioral cause is how ADHD can lead to antisocial personality disorder.
Serotonergic function disturbances are usually associated with impulsive, aggressive
behavior in adults. However, disturbances in serotonergic function in children produce
different behaviors. Research shows that there is a relationship between childhood
disturbance in serotonergic function and the development of antisocial personality
disorder. Results showed that children who developed ADHD had a lower serotonergic
responsivity that predicts the development of antisocial personality disorder (Flory,
Newcorn, Miller, Harry & Halperin, 2007). The other psychosocial/behavioral cause of
antisocial personality disorder is interpersonal callousness (IP). Interpersonal callousness
includes, being deceitful, manipulative, grandiose, superficially charming, lacking
empathy and guilt, and not accepting responsibility for transgression (Pardini & Loeber,
2008). A longitudinal study showed the association between interpersonal callousness
and the development of chronic conduct problems (CP), such as antisocial personality
disorder. Boys who had high initial levels of IP and CP were at a high risk for developing
antisocial personality disorder (Hawes, Byrd, Waller, Lynam & Pardini, 2016). In
CAUSES AND TREATMENT OF APSD IN JUVENILES 5 conclusion, children who have lower serotonergic responsivity and ADHD or
interpersonal callousness are at a high risk of developing antisocial personality disorder.
Environmental causes of antisocial personality disorder have shown that twins
who have shared environmental factors or influences are at a higher risk of both
developing antisocial personality disorder (Lyons, True, Eisen, Goldberg, Meyer,
Faraone, Eaves, Lindon & Tsuang, 1995). In this section four different environmental
causes of antisocial personality disorder will be examined. These causes are childhood
abuse and neglect, parental alcoholism, parental mental health and parental delinquency.
Childhood abuse and neglect are common environmental causes of disorders like
antisocial personality disorder (Bierer, Yehuda, Schmeidler & Mitropoulou, 2003).
Childhood abuse and neglect greatly increase a person’s risk for being diagnosed with
antisocial personality disorder (Luntz & Widom, 1994). Researchers have looked at the
correlation of childhood abuse and neglect and the later development of personality
disorders. antisocial personality disorder has shown significant associations with sexual
and physical abuse in childhood (Bierer, Yehuda, Schmeidler, Mitropoulou, 2003). There
is also a familial component to the development of antisocial personality disorder; this
component involves the family environment (Carey, 1996). Family environments include,
parental alcoholism, mental health and delinquency. Parental alcoholism studies looked at
the way parents who have alcoholism and antisocial personality disorder contributes to
the risk of their child developing a psychiatric diagnosis, such as antisocial personality
disorder. The children of parents who have only alcoholism, are at a higher risk of
developing ADHD, conduct disorder, antisocial personality disorder and overanxious
disorder. However, children whose parents have both alcoholism and antisocial
CAUSES AND TREATMENT OF APSD IN JUVENILES 6 personality disorder are more likely to develop Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). A
dysfunctional parenting style was associated with the child development of antisocial
personality disorder (Kuperman, Schlosser & Lidral, 1999). Parental mental illness is
also an environmental cause of antisocial personality disorder. Parents who had a history
of mental illness and/or suicide attempts had children who were at a greater risk of being
violent offenders, an act usually associated with antisocial personality disorder (Mok,
Pedersen, Springate, Astrup, Kapur, Antonsen, Morsm & Webb, 2016). The last
environmental cause is parental, especially the mothers’, delinquency. A study that
examined those with antisocial personality disorder and who were aggressive, looked at
the subjects’ mothers and their juvenile behavior. Results showed that those who had
mothers who were juvenile offenders were more likely to develop social adversity, such
as antisocial personality disorder. They were also more likely to use substances during
pregnancy and to offend in adulthood. The early onset of aggression was also associated
with subjects who had mothers that were juvenile offenders (Tzoumakis, Lussier &
Corrado, 2012). A child’s environment plays an important role in determining their fate.
Research shows that the environment of a child can lead to disorders, such as antisocial
personality disorder.
Knowing the causes of disorders, such as antisocial personality disorder, is
important for reducing the risk of a child developing the disorder. Many of the causes
presented above are causes that are preventable. antisocial personality disorder puts
children at a risk of becoming juvenile offenders. By identifying the causes or risk factors
of antisocial personality disorder, one can help reduce the risk of developing the disorder
and the risk of a child becoming a juvenile offender (Holmes, Slaughter & Kashani,
CAUSES AND TREATMENT OF APSD IN JUVENILES 7 2001). The psychosocial, behavioral and environmental factors of a child are all factors
that can cause the development of antisocial personality disorder.
Brain Structure Association
Much research has been done regarding the associations between antisocial
personality disorder in juvenile delinquents and their brain development. Two major
areas of the brain have been associated with antisocial personality disorder. Those two
areas are the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala. This section will examine the structures
in the prefrontal cortex and how they differ in juvenile offenders from non-offenders, the
presence of gray matter in the prefrontal cortex. It will also examine how the amygdala
and its subregional networks and subneuclei as well as the presence of gray matter are
associated with antisocial behavior in juvenile delinquents.
Psychopathy combines callous-unemotional traits with behavior that is antisocial
and inflexible (Contreras-Rodrigues, Pujol, Batalla, Harrison, Soriano-Mas, Deus, López-
Solá, Maciá, Hernández-Ribas, Pifarré, Menchón & Cardoner, 2014). The brains of
juvenile offenders, who show antisocial behavior, as well as psychopathy, have been
studied and compared to the brains of those who do not commit crimes and show no
antisocial behavior. A normal prefrontal cortex is an important area for reducing the risk
of antisocial behavior and juvenile delinquency. This section will examine the differences
in prefrontal cortexes, damage to the prefrontal cortex and the presence of gray matter in
the prefrontal cortex. Studies examining the prefrontal development in juvenile offenders
as compared to non-juvenile offenders has shown that even though there is no difference
between intelligence in the two groups, incarcerated delinquents are more impulsive,
have lower conceptual levels and flexibility and poorer critical thinking. It is believed
CAUSES AND TREATMENT OF APSD IN JUVENILES 8 that the prefrontal cortices and their limbic inputs are responsible for antisocial behavior
and antisocial personality disorder (Chretien & Persinger, 2000). Previous research done
with patients who have damage to the ventromedial prefrontal cortex show that they have
abnormal judgment responses to a moral dilemma. Researchers took those results and
decided to test if patients who have ventromedial prefrontal cortex damage would have
abnormal judgments of harmful intentions. Their results showed that those with
ventromedial prefrontal cortex damage judged actions that attempted harm, such as
murder, are permissible (Young, Bechara, Tranel, Damasio, Hauser & Damasio, 2010).
These abnormal judgments can also be associated with antisocial personality disorder.
The amount of gray matter volume also plays a role in the presentation of psychopathy in
criminals. Criminals showed less gray matter volume in the prefrontal cortex. An increase
in gray matter volume in the basal ganglia and supplementary motor area was correlated
with antisocial behavior. Higher amounts of gray mater volume in the limbic areas were
also correlated with antisocial behavior as well as a risk of violent recidivism (Leutgeb,
Leitner Wabnegger, Klug, Scharmüller, Zussner & Schienle, 2015). Reductions in
functional connectivity as well as gray matter in the prefrontal cortex are both
contributors to antisocial behavior (Contreras-Rodrigues et al., 2014).
Psychopathy is a psychiatric phenomenon that is characterized by a pathological
constellation of affective (callous, unemotional), interpersonal (manipulative, egocentric),
and behavioral (impulsive, irresponsible) personality traits (Aghajani, Colins, Klapwijk,
Veer, Andershed, Popma, van der Wee & Vereiren, 2016). Those with psychopathy show
antisocial behaviors. The area of the brain that is most frequently associated with
psychopathy and antisocial behaviors is the amygdala. This section will examine the
CAUSES AND TREATMENT OF APSD IN JUVENILES 9 amygdala as a whole, the subregional networks, subnuclei and gray matter volume in the
amygdala and how they are correlated to antisocial behavior in juvenile offenders.
Juvenile psychopathy and antisocial behavior, especially callous-unemotional traits, are
similar to the factors that are associated with adult psychopathy. Children with callous-
unemotional traits show lower levels of prosocial reasoning, lower emotional
responsivity and decreased harm avoidance. Brain imaging suggests that children with
these traits have a reduced response of the amygdala and a weaker functional
connectivity between the amygdala and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (Herpers,
Scheepers, Bons, Buitelaar & Rommelse, 2013). Adolescents who scored low on a
certain youth callous and unemotional trait assessment showed a positive correlation
between right amygdala responses and severity of violation ratings. However, when
children viewed pictures that were unpleasant and without moral transgression, the scores
of a youth psychopathy checklist assessment were negatively correlated with
hemodynamic responses in the left amygdala (Harenski, Haresnki & Kiehl, 2014). Many
studies that associated antisocial behavior and psychopathy with the amygdala are just
looking at the amygdala as a whole. However, there are subregional networks that
contribute differently to psychopathy. A study looked at the connectivity of basolateral
and centromedial amygdala networks in relation to the affective, interpersonal and
behavioral traits of psychopathy in juvenile with a history of serious delinquency. Results
showed that different connections in the amygdala are associated with different
psychopathy traits. For example, interpersonal traits of psychopathy are related to the
increase of connectivity of the basolateral and centromedial amygdala networks.
Whereas, affective psychopathic traits are related to the decrease of centromedial
CAUSES AND TREATMENT OF APSD IN JUVENILES 10 amygdala network connectivity (Aghanjani et al., 2016). Since the amygdala is not a
unitary structure, researchers examined how amygdala subnuclei respond to violence.
Segmentation identified the basolateral complex and the central subnucleus. Both are
used as seeds in a functional connectivity analysis to identify the differences in neuronal
coupling that is specific to observed violence (Yoder, Porges & Decety, 2014). Research
found that the full amygdala showed connectivity to the right middle occipital gyrus only,
however the subnuclei seeds revealed different connectivity patterns. The basolateral
complex showed enhanced connectivity with the anterior cingulate and prefrontal
regions, while the central subnucleus showed increase connectivity with the brainstem
(Yoder, Porges & Decety, 2014). Just like in the prefrontal cortex, gray matter in the
amygdala is associated with two temperament dimensions (fearlessness and
disinhibition), which are both present in juvenile offenders. MRI scans showed that the
greater the fearlessness dimension in a juvenile offender, the less gray matter is present in
their amygdala. This fearlessness temperament, as it is associated with gray matter
volume, shows evidence for the association between antisocial behavior in juvenile
offenders and their amygdala (Walters & Kiehl, 2015). Since atypical amygdala function
and connectivity is associated with psychopathy, it is important to show how it is related
to the antisocial behavior in juvenile offenders (Yoder, Porges & Decety, 2014).
In conclusion, brain development, differences and atypical functioning is
important to study for any disorder. By studying the prefrontal cortex and amygdala in
juvenile offenders with antisocial behavior, we are able to determine where the problems
develop. By understanding the structural abnormalities of the prefrontal cortex and the
CAUSES AND TREATMENT OF APSD IN JUVENILES 11 presence of gray matter in the amygdala in juveniles with antisocial behavior, we are able
to treat the problems.
Treatments
It was generally believed that there was no treatment for antisocial personality
disorder; however there has been a significant shift from the view that antisocial
personality disorder is untreatable (Meloy & Yakely, 2010). antisocial personality
disorder generally dissipates by adulthood (Ahmadi-Kadhani & Hechtman, 2014).
However, when antisocial personality disorder is presented in children, it must be treated
in order to lower the risk of the child becoming a juvenile offender. Treatment for
children with antisocial personality disorder can consist of the administration of
medication as well as a variety of psychosocial interventions which include parent-child
therapy, parent training, positive behavioral support and collaborative problem solving
(Ahmadi-Kadhani & Hechtman, 2014). This section will examine the use of medication
and behavioral rehabilitation to treat children with antisocial personality disorder.
Medication is an effective way to treat many disorders. One study looked at how
the drug clozapine affects children with antisocial personality disorder. Even though
clozapine is usually used to reduce aggression in schizophrenics and those with
borderline personality disorder, nothing had been published with how it affects those with
antisocial personality disorder. Researchers found that antisocial personality disorder
patients who were taking clozapine showed significant signs of improvement. Their
impulsive behavior and anger was more controlled. Violent incidents committed by
subjects were also reduced. There was an overall reduction in the severity of antisocial
personality disorder when subjects were taking clozapine (Brown, Larkin, Sengupta,
CAUSES AND TREATMENT OF APSD IN JUVENILES 12 Romero-Ureclay, Ross, Gupta, Vinestock & Das, 2014). This study is the first to show
the effects of clozapine on patients with antisocial personality disorder. Research like this
leads to new ways to treat those who are diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder.
The appropriate prescription of medication can be beneficial in helping prevent children,
with antisocial personality disorder, from becoming juvenile offenders (Meloy & Yakely,
2010).
Another form of treatment for children with antisocial personality disorder is
behavioral rehabilitation. This does not have to involve the use of medication for
treatment. Treatments that have the strongest empirical support among psychotherapies
include parent management training, problem-solving skills training and multisystematic
therapy (Kazdin, 2000). These treatments have been studied and research shows that they
have many strengths. However, long-term treatment is needed because the characteristics
of antisocial personality disorder (impulsivity, deceitfulness, co-morbidity with substance
use) are stable and often resistant to change (Gudonis & Giancola, 2008). Since substance
abuse is associated with juvenile offenders with antisocial personality disorder, it is
suggested that those individuals receive some form of substance abuse treatment. This
helps reduce the prevalence of antisocial behavior (Hatchett, 2015).
Although there is more research on psychotherapy treatment for juveniles with
antisocial personality disorder, there is also research that suggests certain medications can
help reduce antisocial behaviors. Like other disorders, a combination of psychotherapy
and medication is preferred (Meloy & Yakely, 2010). It is important to treat antisocial
behaviors in children because, although antisocial behaviors often go away with age,
failure to treat antisocial personality disorder can result in individuals who are untreatable
CAUSES AND TREATMENT OF APSD IN JUVENILES 13 (Gudonis & Giancola, 2008). It is also important to treat children with antisocial
personality disorder because it ensures that there will be a less likely chance of that child
becoming a juvenile offender.
Conclusions
This literature review examined the causes and treatments of antisocial
personality disorder in juvenile offenders. The previous sections discussed the
psychosocial, behavioral and environmental causes of antisocial personality disorder, the
prefrontal cortex and the amygdala’s role in antisocial personality disorder and the use of
medication and behavioral rehabilitation to treat juvenile offenders with antisocial
personality disorder. It was shown that serotonergic functioning and ADHD as well as
interpersonal callousness play a role in the psychosocial and behavioral causes of
antisocial personality disorder, while abuse and neglect in childhood, parental history of
alcoholism, mental illness and delinquent behavior are aspects of the environmental
effects. Differences in the prefrontal cortex of juvenile offenders and non-delinquent
juveniles as well as a presence of gray matter in the PFC are two of the brain
abnormalities of juveniles with antisocial personality disorder that were discussed. The
amygdala and its subregional networks and subnuclei as well as the presence of gray
matter are also factors of antisocial personality disorder brain abnormalities. A
combination of specific medications and behavioral rehabilitation prove to be the most
effective in treating juvenile offenders with antisocial personality disorder.
The environment appears to play the largest effect on the development of
antisocial personality disorder in juveniles. It is the development of antisocial personality
disorder that plays a large role in the reason why children commit crimes. Children are
CAUSES AND TREATMENT OF APSD IN JUVENILES 14 very susceptible to things when they are growing up, and if they are raised in an
environment that promotes or doesn’t discipline delinquent behavior, they will think it is
okay to act that way. Setting a positive example for children is the best way to prevent
delinquent behavior and the onset of issues like antisocial personality disorder.
It is important for places like juvenile detention centers, children’s homes and
even schools need to have better treatment plans for children who display delinquent
behavior with antisocial personality disorder as well as other disorders. It might be the
case of some juvenile detention centers that the mental healthcare the juveniles were
receiving is not always effective. It is hard for a couple of therapists to give their full
attention to every single juvenile at the detention center because the number of juveniles
severely outnumbers the amount of therapists available. It might also be the case that
therapists do not always their job at all at a detention center. Therapists will refuse to
meet with any juveniles, and if they did they would not try to do anything about the
juvenile’s behavior issues. Although there are a number of good therapists, there are also
therapists in juvenile detention centers that are not helpful in the rehabilitation of a
juvenile offender’s behavior. The population these therapists are counseling are a difficult
group to counsel because they might not always be willing to change or think that they
can change. This is an issue because, if the juvenile does not receive effective behavioral
rehabilitation, they will revert to their delinquent behavior when they are released back
into society. Medication is also an issue when offenders are not in a detention center. The
juveniles receive medication while they are in a detention center and their behavior is
modified. While they are incarcerated their behavior is regulated because they are able to
receive the proper medication. However, once they are released, they are only given
CAUSES AND TREATMENT OF APSD IN JUVENILES 15 medication for a certain amount of time. Many of the juvenile offenders do not have the
resources to continue to receive medication or behavioral rehabilitation once they are
released from a detention center. Their disorders like, antisocial personality disorder,
cannot be managed and which can result in more delinquent behaviors, since the brain
structures in those with antisocial personality disorder will always be different from those
without the disorder. Antisocial juveniles can take medication and go to therapy to relieve
the symptoms of their disorder, but if they do not continue with their treatment, they will
revert back to previous antisocial behaviors because their brain structures have not
changed.
It is very important for juvenile offenders with antisocial personality disorder to
receive treatment (behavioral and medication) after they are released from a juvenile
detention center. If the proper treatment is not received in the detention center, they will
have a harder time reintegrating back into society. If they do not continue treatment
outside of a detention center, they will be more likely to repeat their delinquent behavior
since their disorder is not under control.
