SALVADOR SIMON, Benjamín et al. Psychopathy: a Bibliographic and Bibliometric Review. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2015, vol.67, n.2, pp.105-121. ISSN 1809-5267.

Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized both by a lack of affection, remorse and empathy, as by the ability to seduce, manipulate and use other people. Our goal is to perform a bibliometric review of articles published in scientific journals listed in the PsycINFO database by February 2013, using the keywords "Psychopathy" and "Antisocial Personality Disorder". The results provide information on the evolution and treatment of both terms; annual productivity; place of publication; recurrent scientific journals; most prolific authors; most popular keywords; as well as efforts undertaken in prison samples. Content analysis of the main authors show the need to increase diagnostic criteria for psychopathy according to gender, social context and personality traits.

Palabras clave : Bibliometrics; Psychopathy; Antisocial Personality Disorder; Content Analysis.
