Summary

The concept of psychopathy has a long tradition. The contemporary four-factor model describes psychopathy in

- interpersonal,
- affective,
- lifestyle, and
- antisocial variables.

The structural and functional neuronal basis of psychopathy has not been fully elucidated. There are two pathophysiological theories of psychopathy: somatic marker hypothesis and violence inhibition mechanism theory. Psychopathy is associated with dysfunction of the prefrontal-temporal-limbic system circuit.

Key words:
psychopathy, four-factor model, prefrontal-temporal-limbic circuit.
