Algunas reflexiones sobre el trastorno disocial: a propósito de un caso
2002
Dissocial disorder is characterized by a persistent repetitive behavioural pattern in which the basic rights of the others are violated, such as important social rules appropriate to the subject's age. This disorder's aetiology doesn't appear to be clear, and multi causal explanations are the most common options. Taking a neuropsychological view, we consider that Damasio's somatic markers hypothesis, may give certain light on alterations underlying to this disorder and, more specifically, to the roll that the prefrontal cortex's ventromedial section plays. This hypothesis considers that somatic conditions evaluate and, therefore, detrivialize events while learning. As a result of this evaluation making decisions is easier when the attention is focused on this decisions' consequences. So, this hypothesis will let us explain the behavioural of subjects with dissocial disorder and, more specifically, to consider a damage of the will as a consequence of a somatic markers' dysfunction but not an intelligence's.
