Sociobiology and Antisocial Personality

The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, 1984
The clinical characteristics of antisocial personality disorder are well defined, but poorly explained in developmental or etiological terms.

Alcoholism and Antisocial Personality

The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, 1986
