Comprehensive Assessment of Psychopathic Personality
This site provides information on a new assessment of psychopathic personality disorder - the Comprehensive Assessment of Psychopathic Personality (CAPP).
Importantly, the CAPP is an instrument developed primarily for RESEARCH. It is experimental and currently undergoing validation.
It should be noted that some users think it is appropriate to use the CAPP as a structured professional judgement instrument for assessing psychopathy to be used in addition to standardized, validated measures, or in situations where no such measures exist (e.g., for assessing change).
