Abstract
A recent article published in the Journal of Personality Disorders (López-Romero et al., 2021) described the identification of "putative psychopathic personality" in a school cohort of 3-6-year-old children from Spain. This comment offers cautionary considerations of the original article on scientific grounds and critical comments on policy grounds. We caution researchers, policymakers, attorneys, judges, and the general public about the dangers of using this label given present knowledge about the antecedents, early indicators, and stability of the adult disorder of psychopathic personality when assessed in childhood.
最近发表在《人格障碍杂志》(López-Romero et al., 2021)上的一篇文章描述了对西班牙一群3-6岁儿童的“假定精神病人格”的识别。这个评论提供了对原始文章的科学依据的谨慎考虑和对政策依据的批判性评论。我们提醒研究人员、政策制定者、律师、法官和公众注意使用这个标签的危险,因为目前对儿童时期评估的成人精神病态人格障碍的前因、早期指标和稳定性有了解。
