Abstract(s)
As perturbações de personalidade são prevalentes e causam uma limitação importante em
vários aspetos da vida do indivíduo. Pretendeu-se fazer uma revisão sobre a abordagem
multicultural da perturbação de personalidade antissocial e psicopatia tendo-se
pesquisado na PubMed, B-On e Science Direct em português e inglês sem limitação
temporal.
As diferenças fenotípicas e de fatores externos podem traduzir limitações na construção
de qualquer cultura. Para além disso, o conhecimento é limitado às etnias mais estudadas.
A Escala de Avaliação de Psicopatia Revisada de Hare e as suas variantes acabaram por
ser amplamente utilizadas para o estudo destes doentes. São ainda poucos os estudos
realizados em países não ocidentais.
Acredita-se, no entanto, que em Perturbações de personalidade antissocial e psicopatia,
os diagnósticos são dos mais ligados a fatores culturais, tornando a continuidade de
pesquisa transcultural e transnacional cada vez mais importante. Os sinais e sintomas
devem ser considerados e associados a expectativas individuais de cada uma das culturas.
Em países em desenvolvimento a avaliação destes doentes é pouco uniforme.
A abordagem e tratamento destas doenças tem conhecido poucos avanços; os estudos
revelam elevadas taxas de recidiva, mesmo com aparente progresso no tratamento,
especialmente quando associadas a um score elevado na Escala de Avaliação de Psicopatia
Revisada de Hare.
Personality Disorders are quite prevalent and cause limitations to various important aspects of an individual’s life. The goal of this study was to analyze the approach to multiculturalism related to the Antisocial Personality Disorder and Psychopathy, using Pub-Med, B-On and Science Direct for the research, in Portuguese and English, exempt from time period limitations. The phenotypical differences and external factors may translate in limitations in the growth of any culture. Furthermore, this knowledge is limited to the most studied ethnic groups. Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised and its variants ended up being broadly used for studying such patients. There are still few studies conducted in non-western countries. However, is it believed, that on Antisocial Personality Disorder and Psychopathy, the diagnoses are more connected to cultural factors, which adds significant importance to the continuation of the transcultural and cross-country research. The signs and symptoms must be considered and associated with individual expectations related to each one of the many cultures. In developing countries, the evaluation of these patients is not very consistent. The approach and treatment of these conditions is still very limited, and the studies show high relapse rates, even though showing apparent progress, especially when associated with high Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised scores.
