Hare Psychopathy Checklist –Revised: 2nd edition (Hare PCL-R™: 2nd Ed.)

The Hare Psychopathy Checklist – Revised: 2^nd edition (Hare PCL–R™: 2nd Ed.) assesses Psychopathic Personality Disorders in forensic populations. It provides complete coverage of each domain of psychopathic traits and behaviours. As in the original version, the PCL–R: 2nd Edition provides a total score that is the most important score for the overall assessment of psychopathy. The total score can be interpreted dimensionally in terms of degree of match to the prototypical psychopath, or it can be used categorically to help identify/diagnose psychopaths.
