 The World Health Organization in its ICD-10

The World Health Organization in its ICD-10 refers to psychopathy, antisocial personality, antisocial personality, and amoral personality as synonyms for dissocial personality disorder.

Hare takes the position that psychopathy as a syndrome should be considered distinct from the antisocial personality disorder construct of the DSM-IV, [28] even though ASPD and psychopathy were intended to be equivalent in the DSM-IV. However, those who created the DSM-IV felt that there was a lot of room for subjectivity on the part of clinicians in identifying things like remorse and guilt, and therefore the DSM-IV panel decided to stick to observable behavior, i.e. socially deviant. behaviors. As a result, the diagnosis of APD is something that "most criminals easily meet". [29] Hare goes so far as to say that the percentage of arrested criminals who meet the TPAS requirements is somewhere between 80 and 85 percent, while only about 20% of these criminals would qualify for diagnosis than the scale. de Hare considers himself a psychopath. [30] This twenty percent, according to Hare, accounts for 50 percent of all serious crimes committed, including half of all series and repeat rapists. Hare wants the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders to list psychopathy as a single disorder, saying that psychopathy has no precise equivalent[2] either in the DSM-IV-TR, where it is most strongly correlated with a personality disorder diagnosis. antisocial disorder, or the ICD-10, which has a partially similar condition called dissocial personality disorder. Both organizations see the terms as synonymous. But only a minority of people in institutions whom Hare and his followers diagnose as psychopaths are criminals.
