Translator information
 Norway
The CAPP was translated into Norwegian by Helge A. Hoff, Geir Olsen, Torstein Gullbraa and Siri Nome at the Centre for Research and Education in Forensic Psychiatry, Helse Bergen, in early 2006. It was completed in 2007 and is now under validation.
CAPP: Allsidig kartlegging av psykopatisk personlighet.
CAPP er et nytt verktøy for å kartlegge psykopatiske personlighetstrekk utviklet av internasjonale eksperter på området.
CAPP fokuserer på et bredere spekter av symptomer på psykopati enn tidligere tester eller sjekklister, kan brukes i flere settinger, og er i motsetning til andre lignende sjekklister sensitiv for potensiell endring i psykopatisk personlighetsfungering. Den første versjonen av CAPP – CAPP-IRS - ser særlig på hvordan psykopatiske personlighetstrekk eller symptomer kanskje viser seg i lukkete institusjoner som fengsler og lukkede psykiatriske avdelinger, primært sikkerhetsavdelinger.
CAPP –IRS ble oversatt til norsk av Helge A. Hoff, Geir Olsen, Torstein Gullbraa og Siri Nome i 2007.
Den norske CAPP versjonens psykometriske egenskaper blir nå undersøkt i flere forskningsprosjekter i regi av Kompetansesenteret for sikkerhets-, fengsels-, og rettspsykiatri i Bergen.
Vennligst hver oppmerksom på at CAPP, både som modell og kartleggingsverktøy, fortsatt er under utvikling. CAPP-IRS må derfor kun benyttes i forskningssammenheng, fortrinnsvis i regi av den internasjonale forskergruppen bak CAPP. Kompetansesenteret i Bergen vil kunne være behjelpelig med å etablere slik kontakt, og kan også fungere som koordinator for norske forskningsprosjekter på CAPP.

CAPP är ett nytt instrument för att diagnostisera psykopatisk personlighetsstörning. CAPP fokuserar på ett bredare spektrum av symtom på psykopatisk personlighetsstörning jämfört med tidigare instrument och avser vidare att vara dynamisk såtillvida att instrumentet är känsligt för förändringar av symtomen över tid. Den första versionen av CAPP: CAPP- IRS (Institutional Rating Scale) är utvecklad för att användas primärt på behandlingsinstitutioner (secure treatment facilities, t.ex.´rättspykiatriska sjukhus, allmänpsykiatriska avdelningar, fängelser) där utpräglade symtom på psykopatisk personlighetsstörning är relativt vanliga.
Den svenska CAPP versionens psykometriska egenskaper kommer efterhand att undersökas inom ramen för att antal forskningsprojekt bland långtidsdömda män och kvinnor i Sverige.
Det är viktigt att i detta sammanhang poängtera att CAPP-IRS ses som ett experimentellt/pilotmässigt instrument som fortfarande är under validering.

Capp: A pszichopátiás személyiség összehasonlító felmérése
Ez a félig strukturált interjú a pszichopátiás személyiségzavar tüneteinek felmérésére szolgál, férfiak esetében alkalmazható, intézeti körülmények között (pl. igazságügyi pszichiátriai intézetek, börtönök). Az interjú további változatai még kidolgozás alatt állnak, pl. nok számára intézeti körülmények között, férfiak és nok számára intézményi kereteken kívül.
Az interjú által gyujtött információk kiegészülnek más forrásból származó információkkal, melyek által értékelni lehet a vonásokat leíró mellékneveket egy 4 fokú skálán (0-tól 3-ig). Az interjú mentén haladva az értékelo a Tünetértékelo Lapon pontozza a tüneteket, mindaz alapján, ahogyan a vonásokat leíró mellékneveket pontozta a tünetek kapcsán. Külön pontozza mind a vonásleíró mellékneveket, mind a tüneteket a személyzet valamely tagja – a Személyzeti Értékelo Lap segítségével –, aki jobban megismerte a klienst az elmúlt négy hónapban.
Megítélésünk szerint ez a módszer jelen pillanatban az egyik legalaposabb, legrészletesebb és legjobb eszköz a pszichopátiás személyiség felmérésére.
