Treating offenders with personality disorder

Damian Mohan, Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist

Broadmoor Hospital, Crowthorne, Berkshire RG45 7EG

Sir: Maden (Psychiatric Bulletin, December 1999, 23, 707-710) advocates that the concept of ‘treatability’ of psychopathic disorder "must go, before irreparable damage is done to psychiatry's public standing".
