Bad Boys, Bad Men: Confronting Antisocial Personality Disorder Book

This book was alright. It didn't shed any new light on anything about ASPD for me, but it was better than Raine's "Anatomy of Violence" in that Black made the distinction between psychopath and antisocial. But he didn't elaborate on anything too much and in fact cited Raine's studies a couple times. What bothered me is Black implied that the majority of antisocials are incompetents who are either alcoholics or drug addicts. I'm glad that he acknowledged certain ones that weren't, and I understand his reasons for saying why those with ASPD would be more likely to end up as alcoholics or drug addicts, but he doesn't cite any references or stats so I don't know if I'm inclined to totally believe him in his strong handed beliefs. He states it like its fact and I've read a fair number of other things that counter this. Black doesn't spend nearly enough time on the other side of the spectrum--on antisocials who are highly successful. He wants ASPD to eventually be dealt with and tells readers all the obvious signs but sometimes it's not so cut and dry, and people can mask their disorder. I just wish it covered more bases. It touches on a fair number, but not all of them, and there's not any particular amount of detail in any of them.
