Exploring the Effects of Early Trauma in a Forensic High Secure Population: Evaluating Associations Between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Diagnosis of Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD)

[摘要] Aims To examine links between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) categories and diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) in this population; it is predicted that there will be a positive association between number of ACEs and ASPD. The effectiveness of high secure hospital admission and treatment in reducing number of risk incidents was also examined. ACEs are known to impact significantly on the development of the personality and future psychiatric risk. Currently, research into links between distinct ACE categories and the diagnosis of ASPD in the high-secure inpatient population is limited.
